Melanie Nathan 9-17-10 – 3.50 PST;

A reliable source has just reported that indeed Nikolai Alekseev was never was in Minsk … “My phone was taken from me two days ago …” in the the actual words of Alekseev, the gay Russian activist and chief organizer of Moscow Pride, who has surfaced in Russia.

Mr. Alekseev was speaking this evening to a close friend, who is known to UK Gay News from Moscow Gay Pride in May and the report can be found at UK Gay new and read in full here http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/10/Sep/1702.htm

“The close friend, who does not want to be identified as he fears for his safety, said he was certain that it was Nikolai Alekseev speaking.

“Nikolai used my nickname when he sent me a SMS, so I was pretty sure it was him,” the friend said. “Then I asked a question that only he could answer – and the answer was correct, so I called the number.

“There was no indication that he was being supervised – it was a normal conversation, though short.”

Mr. Alekseev went on to say that he was 500 kilometres from Moscow and that he was returning to the capital. He hopes to be there tomorrow when he will explain all that has happened.
