"These are the words written by the prisoner Alexander Trubanov"
"Your kindness will always remain etched in my heart. In the 498 days I spent among you, I learned the meaning of true manhood, pure bravery, humanity and high values, even though you yourself were victims of cruelty and aggression.
You were actually free, while I was in prison.
You protected me like a loving father protects his children.
took care of my health, honor and even my appearance, and did not allow me to feel hunger or humiliationโeven though I was in the custody of the mujahids who were fighting for their land and right that had been taken away, and against whom my government was committing the worst genocide against a besieged nation.
I never knew the true meaning of masculinity, until I saw it in your eyes.
I did not even know the value of sacrifice, until I felt it among you.
You greet death with a smile, and fight with your dying souls the enemy who has all the weapons of destruction.
All my eloquence and eloquence are insufficient to express your high moral excellence.
Does your religion teach you to treat prisoners in the same way?
What kind of great religion is it that makes you such a free man that all human rights laws are hatched in front of it, and all international protocols of dealing with enemies become meaningless?
You showed justice and mercy not just as slogans, but in actual practice.
