The public-humanitarian organization of pensioners and invalids of
victims of political repressions of the Republic of Tatarstan unites
about 5000 rehabilitated former political prisoners who had suffered
from the horros of GULAG prisons. Now at our old age we have slid
into povetry due to our state policies. Not having enough money to
live a proper life we appeal to you with a request for charity and
humanitarian help. We should be very thankful for any help,
especially we need medicines, food and clothes.
The average age of our organization members is about 75 years, they
are not able to take care of themselves and their average pension is
about 15-18 dollars a month.
Humanitarian help delivered through state bodies does not reach us.
We appeal to you to sympathize with unguilty people who are now in
poverty.
