Mr.Spacey, the question I have for you is why do you choose to participate in any public functions in Russia without making any statements against the string of borderline fascist laws and practices adopted in this country?
You come to the country which as recently as two weeks ago has adopted insane homophobic and reactionary laws which do in part read like the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany. The country which keeps two 20-something year old girls (one of them mother of a small child) in prison for performing an anti-government song in an empty cathedral.
The fact that international acting star visits Russia is touted by local mass media as the validation of the government's policies and actions. Also, in case you didn't know there are NO (not one) TV channels with federal reach in this country not owned by the government. Those channels are running homophobic and fascist talk shows in prime time. The very same channels will use your image and the fact that you have visited Moscow as an act of support of what is going on here.
You are one of my favorite actors. You are a fucking genius no question about that. You don't need "support" from the people in Moscow. People of Moscow - the thinking decent part of this people needs your support in the form of either raising your voice against the injustices (that's what Madonna did) or just staying away from this place
FYI, the cathedral in the backdrop is fake. It was fully rebuilt ground up in the 1990-s .
With respect,
Andre Yanpolsky
