Dear India, I am ever so grateful to you for showing us how much Sergei is involved in his people's welfare and what a real man he's become. Years ago he said he'd chosen light and good against darkness and evil, and he truly has. So so so proud of him. The diplomatic blunder in Uzbekistan is far away now and forgotten. Sergei, a true Russian soul.

Well I reckon - - it's all about making choices - - that's what you have to do in life - - you have to decide - - if that's what you want to do - - then you go out and do it. You overcome excuses and you make tough choices. And Polunin is honest with himself and to everyone - - he wants to help his government - - Russia 🇷🇺 - - and his people - - the Russian people - - and we must respect him for it. Thank you to @ Sergei Polunin for his great art of dance which he dedicates to us all - - and for his complete forthrightness ❤️. Thank you to @ India Ink for showing us this significant montage - - we much appreciate it absolutely.

[@IndiaInk]

Sergei does give so much of himself to others, and regardless how others will respond, he stays true to what he believes in. I am always grateful for what he shares of himself and am glad to be able to share with others who love and appreciate Sergei for the person and the artist that he is.
