Another hero of our times: Stanislav Markelov

You may recollect my post on Lasantha Wickrematunge, the inspiring Sri Lankan journalist (see my Blog, 14 January 2009).

Now I have come across the story of Stanislav Markelov - of whom I was aware, but regarding whom I had nothing like the complete story, not even in brief:

In these days when cynicism and hopelessness abound, it is important to highlight such positive personalities, which enable us to realise that there are still many people "who have not bowed the knee to Baal".

Many, many more than we think! Sphere: Related Content
