Belozyorov mentioned that on the November day when Skochilenko was sentenced, she was allowed to make a closing assertion – a speech she known as “Sure, life.”
“Even when I'm the one within the cage, perhaps I'm a lot freer than you… I’ve no enemies. I'm not afraid of being poor, I'm not afraid of shedding the roof over my head. I don't haven’t afraid to look unusual, susceptible, weak, humorous. I'm not afraid to be completely different from others. Perhaps that's why my state is so afraid of me and others like me – since I hold in a cage, like a extra harmful animal.”
Contained in the cage within the courtroom, Skochilenko appeared expectantly on the choose, ready for his verdict. Belozyorov mentioned that when the sentence was made, Skochilenko simply smiled and made the center signal together with his fingers. Because the choose left the courtroom, the group shouted “Disgrace! Disgrace!”
Belozyorov mentioned Subbotina tried to persuade the guards to let her contact her girlfriend's hand – however they refused. He says Subbotina responded by yelling. “[When Sasha] he heard the decision, he laughed. However when she noticed what was taking place to Sonya, she couldn't maintain again the tears,” she mentioned.
Skochilenko's assist system discovered some “serenity” within the verdict, Belozyorov mentioned – life is now not unsure. Skochilenko himself appears to have discovered energy within the choice. He not solely attracts and writes, but in addition takes commissions.
Belozyorov mentioned that “she wished to convey a message.” It’s merely this: love and peace can prevail over struggle and hate. And he thinks that the way in which she was handled throughout the detention is an instance of this.
“It wasn't her plan when she put these little stickers. She wasn't as much as it. She wasn't anticipating it. However when she discovered herself in [detention]she realized that now could be the time for her to ship a message.”
