Dear all, We have reached 100 signatures in one week and this has happened without any mass appeal that we are planning to do to specific groups: U.S., Russian, Ukrainian citizens, Oxonians, Jewish community, film-makers, journalists, students and business people in Russia. Each group has been affected by unscrupulous acceptance of oligarchs at Oxford. If you are interested to help share any of the above targeted messages, please email at izaslavskiy at icloud.com Over this week new articles came out. 1) Response to empty press release of Oxford: “The press service can continue pouring phrases like ‘thorough and robust scrutiny process’ into the ears of the majority of Oxford Congregation [the University’s governing body] who sadly have little clue about actual human rights abuses in Putin’s Russia. “This is not what should be expected from the leading global institution that teaches good governance and states high ethical norms in its own regulations as a goal.” http://www.cherwell.org/news/uk/2015/11/13/blavatnik-donation-lambasted 2) Account of the fabricated spy case by Radio Svoboda (in Russian): Оксфордский платеж по нефтяному векселю.
