Vi giro questo testo in inglese mandato su Vasemmistopaja da un compagno
anarchico, studente a Mosca, dove morirono nella notte tra 23-24 novembre
nell'incendio della Casa dello studente un numero ancora imprecisato di
studenti russi e starnieri, in gran parte extraeuropei. Finora si parla
ufficilmente di 37 morti, ma sono molti di più come racconta Antti nella
sua lettera.
Si presume che siano stati degli naziskin a dar fuoco, ho saputo da altri
finlandesi..
