Open Letter from Vincenzo Lorusso to Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

Mrs Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, today the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz decided to re-establish relations with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

During these two and a half years, the Italian people have demonstrated by facts a very great affinity with the Russian people and with the Russian Federation.

It is enough to mention the campaign ‘Russia is not my enemy’ or to look at the photos and videos of the halls filled with ordinary citizens who wanted to attend the screening of a Russian feature or documentary film.

Dialogue is fundamental to the resolution of any conflict and is the first step to rebuild the bridge of friendship between Italy and Russia.

I therefore ask you, in the interest of Italy and Italians, not to wait for other European leaders to follow the example of the German Chancellor, but to anticipate them by demonstrating timeliness and foresight, qualities that you have already shown in your political career.

Vincenzo Lorusso

Vincenzo Lorusso is a journalist with International Reporters and collaborates with RT (Russia Today). He is the co-founder of the Italian festival RT Doc Il tempo degli eroi (“The Time of Heroes”), dedicated to promoting documentary filmmaking as a tool for storytelling and memory.

He is the author of the book “De Russophobia” (4Punte Edizioni), with an introduction by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, in which Lorusso analyzes the dynamics of Russophobia in Western political and media discourse.

He oversees the Italian version of RT Doc documentaries and has organized, together with local partners across Italy, more than 140 screenings of works produced by the Russian broadcaster. He also launched a public petition against statements made by Italian President Sergio Mattarella, who had equated the Russian Federation with the Third Reich.

He currently lives in Donbass, in Lugansk, where he continues his journalistic and cultural work, reporting on the reality of the conflict and giving voice to perspectives often excluded from European media debates.

Approvo appieno questa cartella .. come immagino che l’autore Vincenzo Lorusso conosca bene la pescivendola che riesce a vendere pesce marcio per pesce fresco. Ne abbiamo esempio oggi 29/01/2025 con tutto quello che la fascistona sta cercando di alterare la Giustizia con il regime e la sua genuflissione per la sua tutela con il neo Presidente Amerikano !
