Dear sisters and brothers, Tolkien fans, from Ukraine!
We are deeply touched by hearing the news about barbaric and bestial attack from Russia on your country. This unreasoned aggression, allegedly with good reasons, is your nation tragedy - but challenged with its ruthlessness you are standing courageous and proudly! In the heart of Europe, in 21th century, when there are states tendencies leading to approbate peace with law there are countries, which takes the roles of predators, counting on surrender of the innocent victims with the way of fear and elimination of disobedient. Evil of war, motive often bringing up in Tolkien works and the idea of obeying to myself others returned nowadays. Don't give up to barbarism, fight for freedom, fight for the world of strength of law, and not the law of strength. Aurë entuluva!
