Sir, – Once again The Irish Times gives valuable space on your letters page to the Russian ambassador Yuriy Filatov (April 4th) to allow him to disseminate his propaganda. This, in my view, is absolutely unacceptable. No opponent of the Russian dictatorship has the luxury of airing their opinions in a free press in Russia.
Death, exile or prison are their usual options. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I would be glad to know the ambassador’s views on the alarming rate of “sudden death syndrome” which affects Mr Putin’s critics. – Yours, etc,
