Hello Mr. Prokhorov,
We were shocked by the tragic events in Moscow's metro. My condolences to Russian people and anybody should you have known personally among victims. Here, people in the media and politics who are more defense oriented were furious in their expressions. The fact that this was not a natural disaster, makes it that much harder to comprehend.
What's next and how to prevent are the hardest questions. I was in NYC when twin towers came down. I'll never forget every hour of that day. Our countries have a common enemy and just only for that one reason they must be friends. I have a plan and a project to help this important cause. There is no excuse anymore. Before America would say that Russia is communist or socialist or whatever. Now what? Now Russia is open market economy with highly educated population. As you said in your interview, 20 years ago you didn't know anything about capitalism. And look at you now. A person like you who inherited nothing from anybody is a face of Russian economic success. With all the power you can have with that type of money I wish you'd handle it with great responsibility to influence people in a positive way and do it with honor and grace. I don't want to look like I'm advising you in any way, after all it's your life and I respect that. I'm just trying to share an opinion that I'd share with anyone I know.
When I came to America and saw lots of very rich and famous people miserable, drugged up, broken down, lonely, suicidal, I wondered why? Why couldn't they just be ecstatic all the time, enjoy life, laughter, have parties, have lots of children, travel the world? What else do they want? When I started to learn psychology, I found out that fame and fortune can be used in 3 different ways - good and bad. This I won't tell you. Don't want to sound lecturing. But all this talk comes down to let you know that deep in my heart and prayers I wish you'd help those victims and their families, if possible.
I'll talk to you next time.
Best regards.
