Lexington Books. ISBN Retrieved on 1 May Retrieved 28 August I pray. When Latvians see the Russians don't want a hegemony, they just want not to be discriminated against, then we will have a democratic socialist state here in Latvia. Maybe from Latvia, socialism could then spread to the rest of the world! LSM: Yet you are currently being investigated by police over statements you allegedly made that undermine the independent Latvian state.

Do you deny that you want to overthrow the state? I am accused of incitement to the violent overthrow of the Latvian constitution, government and political structure. This is why the Latvian government was angry, that a citizen of Latvia was speaking out. This is why the Latvian government was angry. LSM: What exactly were you doing in Ukraine?

There are pictures of you in uniform. Were you there to fight? The first time I went after the legally elected President Yanukovich was removed, I got calls from my comrades in Russia and Ukraine saying they were looking for volunteers for Crimea to help in any way they could — maybe to give out food or medicine. So I went. I was walking along the street and I saw some people with camouflage uniforms handing out leaflets.

I asked if it was possible to join their military brigade and they told me to go to a certain building. I went there and said I was from Latvia. They were surprised. So they took my number and said they would call if they needed me. The next day they called. They gave me a uniform and a gun, they showed me how to use it and they put me on duty.

I never used the gun. They sent me to guard a military base. LSM: Do you think that is because you look and sound so different, as a black man who speaks Russian? Aren't you afraid that they were just using you as a novelty? No, the feeling I got from people was very good. People were kissing me, thanking me for coming. The attitude towards me there was better than in Moscow or Riga or even in England.

I participated in various meetings and demonstrations and I called for a referendum on independence.

Then there was a press conference where the Kiev-appointed governor of Donetsk said I should be deported so after a couple of days I was arrested and taken to the airport at Boryspil to be deported to Latvia. But then they wouldn't let me on the plane because I refused to sign some papers from the Ukrainian security police saying I came to Ukraine for violent overthrow of the government.

But in Lugansk district they arrested us again at the border. It varied. They threw me on the floor, then kicked me with heavy boots and put a cord around my wrists and squeezed hard. It's very painful. They told me I had been captured and put me on the floor in a military car where they beat me on the road from Kharkiv to Kiev.
