"I’m hanging on and still decisive in my victory," - Russian movie critic Plakhov releases letter from Sentsov In his letter, Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov unlawfully held in Russian prison thanked Andrei Plakhov and all those who supported him.As reported by Censor.NET referring to Plakhov’s post on social media, the movie critic says he doubted whether to make the letter public: "But I decided after all that it would help those who know little of Oleh to better understand him. And even those indoctrinated by the propaganda who believe him to be a terrorist fanatic. The letter clearly shows how far off from the truth this is and what this person, who has fallen victim to political intrigue, is actually passionate about."
