Hello Leonid,
I am writing to inquire about you. How are you?
Here’s a thing.
I have created a topic on the forum of Anastasia.ru - "NEWS" in two languages: Russian and English. In this topic I discussed the possibility of bilingual communication on our forum. I also gave a link to your video interview from this topic as news. Dialogue started, even communication in English.
But in half a day the topic was deleted. Extrajudicially. Very unpleasantly.
A girl from the conference has informed me that you are "in disgrace." On the conference V.N.Megre mentioned the name Leonid as the publisher who does not agree with the books and refuses to print them.
It didn’t even occur to me that he was talking about you.
Have you been "pressured"?
Leonid, I do not know what is happening, I can only imagine.
Perhaps, you have been given a proposal which was difficult to refuse. Further - popularity, easy money and quite good prospects. When it is felt that you "got hooked on a monetary needle" then the owner of the money starts to show "who in the boss of the house." The choice is simple: either a convenient life with deprivation of own opinion, or a thorny road in "a doubtful" direction. You have noticed that in any "democratic" state the freedom of speech is only a screen. Intense supression and growling indignation is a standard reaction of "satisfied monster" when you pet it "against the wool" with his own fabricated "public opinion". Excuse me that I resort to slang – it is simply shorter.
In your review of Ringing Cedars book series, in the third book (in English) there is not a word about the idea of a Kin’s Domain - the key moment of the book. Without these specifics the review announces almost a glamour novel.
To tell the truth, words "Anastasia" and "Kin’s Domain" are very difficult pronounce in daily occurrence and especially together – specifically in a society where spirituality is extolled, and the earth underfoot is considered to be dirt and sand (in both literal and figurative sense).
I was in a similar situation but when I understood the dirty trick, an internal struggle between the obvious present and speculative future has begun. I obviously chose a wrong way: the scanty salary and fall of the public status with residing in field conditions in a mobile home.
Well, a fools-fool.
But I will tell you: it is an exit from under crafty "guardianship" of another's thought.
Now my thought builds my life. And I have nobody to blame for the small income and a small house.
However I also feel support this support inspires: neighbours, relatives, friends help and... I will call it "coincidence of circumstances".
On dollar there is writing: "IN GOD WE TRUST” and "a new order forever" (NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM). The new order is not better then the ancient one - belief in God was alleged not with money, but in deeds.
Do your deeds, do not refuse money, but also do not loose yourself: money - only an attachment to your dream. The belief is not so much visitation of the church and collection of money, it is an understanding of why you are doing it.
Not trying to affect you in any way. The choice is yours.
I wish you understanding and love.
Dmitry.
