Brothers,

I was going to wait until next week to propose this, but I think now is the right moment.

Some of you will have seen that Visha is having a rough time in the days before he returns to Russia. Some of his anxiety arises, of course, from the fact that in only a few days he will be in court to testify against those who abused him.

Visha isn't a fool, so he knows what that will mean. He will have to speak directly and in detail to an audience that neither understands what it was like nor shows much sympathy. He will be challenged and doubted at every turn. Probably all sorts of cheap tricks will be used to disturb his composure or imply that what he got he deserved. Whatever scenario we can dream up, for Visha it will be far worse.

And yet here he goes, speaking up not only for himself, but for all of us and for all the other innocent boys who are being harmed every day. Who knows how many he will save, just because some perp - cowards as they are - hears of his case and decides not to take the risk of exposure and prosecution.

I would like to suggest that we take this opportunity to wish him well and send him off with our support and encouragement: claps like in the "standing ovation" thread, greetings, cheers, whatever - anything and everything, whatever you can think of. If you post once, come back and do it again another day.

Just keep it going from now until next Wednesday, which I think is the day he will testify. Some days he will not be able to see what we post here. But he will know it is still coming, whether he sees it or not.

One of our own is taking the bravest step of all, and when he does he will speak for us all. Let us make sure he knows how we feel about that.

Visha,

I would like to say Thank you to Visha for standing up for us. Thank you Visha you are a great soul and the people in your life are privileged to have you.

Visha, I will have good thoughts for you and Androsh.

You have many friends here, and you will still be able to contact them from Russia.

I am glad you found this place of caring people, and the ones who really care about you,

I wish you well,

My thoughts are with you, stand proud of who you are.

Visha,

Hell, man, I can only imagine what you're feeling and going through. I wish I COULD make it easier for you. Maybe we are.

I want you to know that, even if I'm a thousand miles away, I'm standing with you. I'm cheering you on, because this is an important thing you're doing. Which isn't to say it's easy. I know it's not. But the tradeoff is that you're taking back the power these SOB's tried to take from you, and you're getting some back.

It isn't Christian, wanting to get back at 'em, but in a way, that's what the process is all about. WIn, lose, or draw, you have something they can NEVER take away from you. You faced them down, when they thought they'd never have to face the consequences.

I'm so proud of you, my friend, and I'll be here, we ALL will be, if you need it.

((((((((((((Visha))))))))))))

Peace and love,

Scot

You know I will be there in that courtroom, in spirit, along with all of your other brothers here at Male Survivor. I am so proud of you. You are one of the bravest men I know. I will think of you everyday, Visha, along with Androsh. I already say a prayer for you guys every day now, but I will say a special one for you on Tuesday and Wednesday. Remember, we are with you. You will not be alone. Androsh's father will be there with you, too.

Stay strong Visha! we will be with you in spirit.

You are a brave and good man to do this, allways remember that, i certainly will.
 
Visha,

You are doing something that few men can do. You are helping save others in Russia. I am so proud of you. Our love and support will be with you. Always always remember you are doing the right and justice thing. No matter what anyone says you are doing the right thing.

lots of love, Nathan
 
Strength and courage tovarich. We are all with you in spirit. You are not alone.
 
I believe in you, Visha. Please be strong and stand up to the misunderstanding with the courage. I wish you will be powerful in court.

All the best,

Alexey
 
Visha you are a decent young man and have helped your friends in times of trouble. What you will be doing is for a lot of other young men who can no longer speak. Know that we are all there with you in court. Visha I know it will be coming from your heart. I also truly believe, as do all of us, that your past was forced on you it was not your choice.

YOU ARE A REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN AND I AM PROUD TO KNOW YOU!!!
 
Visha, you are a champion in so many ways, but this is a victory for yourself and many others. We thank you for your courage. Peace, Andrew
 
Visha and Andrei,

you will both be in my thoughts on these coming events, and I just want you to have a nice leaving party and start a better new life.

With all the good thoughts from the guys here, nothing can go wrong, and you have all of our support.

Visha - We've not had any direct correspondence before but I have certainly seen you around in here. As so many have said before me, thank you for standing for us all by standing for yourself.

I too will be with you in spirit. I have marked my calendar for next Wednesday and will send strength and positive thoughts your way.

Keep this in mind: Regardless of the outcome, whether your abuser is convicted or not, you are Victorious in my mind. It will be scary, remember that he cannot hurt you any more, you are the strong one now and he will be more scared than you.

With much Admiration - John
 
We'll start those prayers now, Visha, until you tell us the court thing is over, or your part of it anyway.
I wish there were a way that we could all be there. Whether you see us or not, we will be there, crowded up against the back wall of the court room, and out the door and down the hall, out into the street. All of us boys who were ever abused will be there, Visha, not to intimidate you but to bolster your spirit and to give you courage to stand up to those bastards. Know this, no matter how nervous you become, everyone there knows what you're talking about; maybe 25% of them, men and woman, will know what you're talking about, first hand...it HAS happened to them. They will have to sit on their hands and bite their tongues in order to not to cheer for you and be reprimanded by the judge. They are there and we are there, you have us all.
Blessings, Visha. Strength and courage,

David
