Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same.

To my friend: Its the thought that counts.  I love the quotes in your footnote so much, will reprint them:

“Violence can only be concealed by a lie,

Правда своё возьмет.
 

"Правда своё возьмет" is translated as "The truth will take its" (Google translate - no period at end) and "Their true will" (with period); I'd go with Masterrussian's "Truth will prevail."
 

Be seeing you.
