Russia’s once-exiled writer and Nobel Prize Winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn has written to the Serbs in Kosovo. Solzhenitsyn sent his greetings via a Serbian newspaper.
Solzhenitsyn called on Serbs not to leave the land that historically belonged to them.
“During recent years you went through devastation: Orthodox churches destroyed, Serbian schools burnt, people attacked and killed. God give you courage to stand by the graves of your beloved ones,” he stressed.
