So, on the anniversary of the AIRPORT, I have to answer hundreds of letters and dozens of newspaper articles about the film adaptation of my novel the AIRPORT in Hollywood.

January 20, 2015 Columbia and Sony pictures asked me to sell them the rights to my articles in the Los Angeles times in order to make a movie about defense of the Donetsk Airport.

They bought exclusive rights to use the images of the characters and related circumstances and situations.

Our negotiations lasted about a year. Someone can call me an IDIOT, and would probably be right, but I refused the contract at $157,500.00.

The fact is that, as soon as I signed this contract, a Hollywood script writer started to write a scenario on this subject, in which I would only indirectly, as a consultant.

I don't want the FEAT of the CHILDREN who died in DaPa, wrote, some guy from Santa Monica, California positiva wine, and coming up with the next blockbuster script.

If there ever will be filmed about this movie, and if it is associated with my book, I want it shot in my book. I want this was reported as I saw it with my own eyes, and how it actually was.

Ukraine has lost their best guys in this war and this battle.

I'm in this war too, lost a lot, if not everything. I lost my beloved woman, my job and many other things.

I don't mind a couple hundred thousand dollars. But they will end, but the shame will remain, if under my name will take off some bullshit. Until then I will always be ashamed of the guys who gave their lives in this war.

Consider this act a kind of my penance for this war, for the death and destruction. I repent in front of Ukraine, Ukrainians, before the families of the victims, in front of the wounded and the dispossessed. As Russian as a Russian, I REPENT before you, because I too am guilty of what happened. That wasn't able to resist it.

Forgive me if you can ...
