I am Chief editor of the official newspaper of the Russian capital, "New Moscow 24". So, I am a citizen of Russia. I am very grateful to the United States and the foreign policy of the emergence of sanctions. But, unfortunately, suffer from it only ordinary citizens. Prices rose more than 200% in 2 years. The rate of national currency has fallen by more than 100%. Rights and laws are not respected. The government is deceiving people and trying to close the real problems of the victory over Germany. I know that my statements in public can cause a direct threat against me and my family. But I am deeply convinced that the real life in Russia without democracy and no freedom. People are being persecuted for their own opinions. People are threatened. Vitaly Ataev-Troshin
