##grandmaster Aronian confirms departure / Chess officials respond / Disagreements over chess schools and aid / "Reforms to restore Armenia's position as chess superpower"
Levon Aronian released a message saying 2020 was a difficult year for him, and that the government failed to provide the needed resources and attention for the development of chess in the past year, "after limited support in 2019". He praised Serj Sargsyan for "years of personal dedication and support, which was important for achieving success."
Aronian criticized certain "self-establishing" chess officials "who know nothing about chess" for their "chaotic and destructive" policies, and said that the Sports Minister and Prime Minister did not dedicate enough time to listen and address his concerns.
"I have not been able to convey to them the simple truth that I am asking for state support, not for me personally, but for the opportunity to serve and bring glory to the homeland."
Aronian claims the lack of funding was linked to an assessment that his "potential was waning", despite him "defeating powerful players."

Education/Sports Minister Dumanyan to reporter: It is the athlete's right to leave. I am very sorry that Aronian made such a decision. I highly appreciate his chess achievements. We are all proud of his achievements. He represented Armenia. I will be happy if he reconsiders the decision.
I am surprised that he made such a decision. I can assure you that based on the data I have, there is no official obligation to Aronian that the Ministry has not fulfilled or refused to fulfill. It will be very good if he changes his decision and stays in Armenia with us. We will continue to rejoice in his future achievements and be proud.

Mkhitar Hayrapetyan is a Parliamentary committee official tasked with chess/sports issues. He thanked Aronian for representing Armenia. He believes Aronian's accusations, about "officials who know nothing about chess", was directed personally at him. He referred to some of the accusations as "false and a lie".
Mkhitar Hayrapetyan: we will hold a press conference to answer questions soon. But I can respond to one of Aronian's accusations right now, about the chess being ruined since 2018. There is criticism about the closure of schools.
I'd like to note that soon, as a r

Written from the fortress
December 22, 1849.
Brother, my precious friend! All is settled! I am sentenced to four years' hard labour in the fortress (I believe, of Orenburg) and after that to serve as a private. To-day, the 22nd of December, we were taken to the Semionov Drill Ground. There the sentence of death was read to all of us, we were told to kiss the Cross, our swords were broken over our heads, and our last toilet was made (white shirts). Then three were tied to the pillar for execution. I was the sixth. Three at a time were called out; consequently, I was in the second batch and no more than a minute was left me to live. I remembered you, brother, and all yours; during the last minute you, you alone, were in my mind, only then I realised how I love you, dear brother mine! I also managed to embrace Plescheyev and Durov who stood close to me and to say good-bye to them. Finally the retreat was sounded, and those tied to the pillar were led back, and it was announced to us that His Imperial Majesty granted us our lives.
Then followed the present sentences. Palm alone has been pardoned, and returns with his old rank to the army. I was just told, dear brother, that to-day or to-morrow we are to be sent off. I asked to see you. But I was told that this was impossible; I may only write you this letter: make haste and give me a reply as soon as you can. I am afraid that you may somehow have got to know of our death- sentence. From the windows of the prison-van, when we were taken to the Semionov Drill Ground, I saw a multitude of people; perhaps the news reached you, and you suffered for me. Now you will be easier on my account.
Brother! I have not become downhearted or low-spirited. Life is everywhere life, life in ourselves, not in what is outside us. There will be people near me, and to be a man among people and remain a man for ever, not to be downhearted nor to fall in whatever misfortunes may befall me — this is life; this is the task of life. I have realised this. This idea has entered into my flesh and into my blood. Yes, it's true! The head which was creating, living with the highest life of art, which had realised and grown used to the highest needs of the spirit, that head has already been cut off from my shoulders. There remain the memory and the images created but not yet incarnated by me. They will lacerate me, it is true! But there remains in me my heart and the same flesh and blood which can also love, and suffer, and

After they pull the trigger, one of the Russian hitmen crosses himself with his gun in the Eastern Orthodox fashion, right to left instead of the left to right usually seen. You miss it if you're not paying attention, but it adds to the realism.
That dictionary was one of my favorite characters,wish the writers did more with it
This movie scared the absolute hell (ha!) out of me in CCD in about 2008 or so, and I remembered it somewhat recently and can’t for the life of me track it down.
I believe he was in Africa(?) and captured by some rebel militia and kept as a POW of sorts until they mock-executed him and a few others. I wish I had more to go on but that’s all I remember. TIA!
