“As for these letters, I can assure you that they are genuine,” an embassy spokesman told APA on Thursday. The Russian embassy neither wrote nor sent these letters itself, he emphasized. The authors of the letters received, which were received in the form of e-mails, are not known to him personally. He assured that the letters had nothing to do with the so-called “Letters from Working People” of the Soviet era. Such letters, fictitious by party and state organs, were a popular tool at the time to influence public opinion in the Soviet Union and to move political discussions in a desired direction.
