HE to Aleksandr Rodnyansky and Andrey Zyagintsev:
I’m terribly sorry for the anguish and horror you both must be going through now. Anguish and horror by loose association, I mean.
We all understand that millions of Russians are just as appalled and anguished by the chaos and slaughter in Ukraine as the rest of the world.
Most of us (along with the Festival du Cannes guys) think of you and Andrey as residing in the Aleksei Navalny camp, and I’m very, very sorry for what you’re all enduring as we speak.
I take it that the good Mr. Zvyagintsev’s health has improved? Best to both of you!
