How to write an open letter. Open letter (genre of public speaking)

Candidate for President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin
from the Council of the labor collective of the International Center of the Roerichs

OPEN LETTER

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! The staff of the International Roerich Center (ICR) is contacting you. With pain in our hearts, we bring to you the information about the destruction of the largest public Museum named after Nicholas Roerich in Russia. This event negatively affects not only the state of culture and the development of civil society in Russia, but also damages Russia's image abroad.

There was a violation of a whole range of constitutional rights of the ICR and citizens of Russia:
-- ownership of the ICR, the organization was left without property and financial support;
- the property of the ICR was transferred for safekeeping to the State Museum of the Art of the Peoples of the East (SMO) without inventories;
- The ICR is deprived of the former opportunity to conduct broad cultural and educational activities;
Employees were left without jobs and livelihoods.

Not to mention the fact that, according to lawyers, the ICR is not connected with the investigative actions in the Master Bank case, under the cover of which the seizure of all the property of the ICR was carried out. Press conference of the ICR, held on January 30, 2018. in Rosbalt, the central media were silent, while they actively posted false information during the seizure of the public Museum named after Nicholas Roerich.

The seizure of our Museum in the center of Moscow in 2017, in its senselessness and barbarity, surpassed even the tragedy of Palmyra, since the destroyers were not ISIS terrorists (an organization banned in Russia - ed.), but quite respectable officials, dressed in scientific titles and high positions. But it was they who cynically tried to turn into dust and ashes the efforts of many of their fellow citizens, who, at the behest of their hearts, restored the dilapidated Lopukhins' estate at the expense of the people and created the largest public Museum of the International Center of the Roerichs in Russia.

And now, for their unselfishness, these people were slandered, humiliated, robbed and mercilessly thrown into the street, the will of S.N. The promises of the state, given to S.N. Roerich, are grossly violated after 27 years! There is no more unique exposition, no museum exhibits, no paintings by N.K. and S.N. Roerichs, who once delighted visitors so much. There is nothing now but bare walls, painted a mouse-gray color that has turned its halls into a series of dreary, featureless rooms. Was it really done in the interests of Russia?!

The promises of the Ministry of Culture to create the State Museum turned out to be a complete fiction, because after 9 months, nothing was done by his henchmen from the State Museum of the East that could really confirm the seriousness of the officials' intentions. The museum is closed for an indefinite period of time, except for a hastily made temporary exhibition, which arouses more bewilderment and indignation than aesthetic pleasure among true connoisseurs of the Roerichs' work. Gradually, the territory of the Lopukhins' Estate falls into disrepair; under various pretexts, the necessary current repairs of its buildings and structures are not being carried out.

Moreover, the threat of loss hung over the priceless Roerich Heritage, which is a cultural heritage not only of Russia, but of the whole world. However, for the Ministry of Culture, the monetary equivalent of this Heritage turned out to be a priority. The Ministry of Culture flatly refused the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society and human rights to create an independent commission to check its existence and condition and does not inform the public about its safety.

The location of the museum collections of the ICR is currently unknown. It can be assumed that they will face the same sad fate as the legacy of the Roerichs, which remained in the apartment of Yu.N. Roerich, which was plundered, or the fate of the collection of S.N. Roerich, which was temporarily stored in the State Museum of the East, where part of the canvases indicated in the will of S.N. Roerich disappeared. The unique archive of the Roerichs and the memorial library of the ICR, where completely unauthorized persons were admitted, are not properly protected.

An outrageous situation has also developed with the personal property of the ICR employees: safes were broken into, documents, money and personal valuables of some employees were lost. The question is, what did the personal belongings of employees have to do with the Master Bank case?

Despite the fact that all the property of the ICR has been transferred to the custody of the SMOA, there are no acts and lists of property. Tigran Mkrtychev, director of the newly-founded State Roerich Museum, who was present together with the adviser to the Minister of Culture K.E. for safekeeping, there was no detailing and inventory” (article in “Sobesednik” dated February 5, 2018). What a convenient situation was provided by the Main Investigation Department for Moscow to the leadership of the SMOA for theft!!! Thus, the ground is set for government officials to evade responsibility for violating legal and ethical laws.

Having received all three buildings of the ICR for such safekeeping, the leaders of the State Roerich Museum, with the support of the leadership of the Ministry of Culture, began to destroy the exposition of the public Museum named after N.K. Roerich, highly appreciated by famous figures of culture and science modern world. The shattered expensive showcases cannot be restored, it is clear that they were beaten with some kind of heavy object, the locks with the priceless museum exhibits of the 17th-18th centuries in them were cut out, although the keys were available. The original glass friezes of the halls, which were simply broken out instead of carefully removed, were barbarously destroyed, and artistic dioramas were also mutilated. The layout of the Russian space station Mir, on board of which the Banner of Culture, Roerich's Banner of Peace, has been dismantled and practically cannot be restored is practically unrepairable. Crumpled and carelessly thrown batik, created according to the sketch of N.K. Roerich "The Queen of Heaven over the River of Life", destroyed by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. Some sculptures of the museum exposition were damaged. We are not talking about broken and dismantled expensive office furniture. Dismantled office equipment dumped in the toilets. The memorial office of the founder and General Director of the Museum named after Nicholas Roerich L. V. Shaposhnikova was completely liquidated

What terrible line has our society reached if cultural officials can destroy a public museum with impunity with the full support of state structures and with the tacit consent of the cultural community?

Apparently, these destructions were not accidental. The new owners, apparently, delighted in destroying the Museum they hated, intoxicated by their impunity and confident that their vandalism would never become public. But they miscalculated. The country should know not only its heroes, but also the vandals. Therefore, V.R. Medinsky, V.V. Aristarkhov, K.E. Rybak, A.A. Sedov and T.K. Roerich, founded by our great compatriot S.N. Roerich and created by him confidant- L.V. Shaposhnikova.

The metropolitan museums of Moscow and St. Petersburg, which have a large collection of paintings by N.K. and S.N. Roerichs, continue to keep them in storerooms. Now visitors have finally lost the opportunity to see the paintings of these great masters, since the public Museum named after N.K. Roerich, the only one who represented their work so widely, was destroyed. Thus, the right of citizens to get acquainted with the work of the great Roerich family has been violated. With all responsibility, one can speak not about perpetuating the memory of the Roerich family in the Motherland, but about a crusade against them and their legacy by Russian officials.

The silence of the cultural community untied the hands of the vandals. The information space of Russia was filled with cries for help from museum workers, the scientific community, and creative teams, who are also mercilessly driven out into the street. With bitterness in the heart, the wise saying “Beware of the indifferent, because with their silent consent the most terrible thing is happening in the world” is remembered. As history shows, for vandalism in Russian culture, including vandalism in the public Museum named after N.K. Roerich, responsibility will be borne not only by the greedy officials of the Ministry of Culture, but also by the entire cultural community, which did not consider it necessary to intervene and stop the ongoing lawlessness. Only a careful attitude to Culture will contribute to the further prosperity of our country.

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! During your presidency, the Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy were developed and adopted, in which great importance given the role of the public in the preservation and development of the culture of the country. The fate of our public museum, unfortunately, shows that in practice everything is different. We ask you to help restore the activities of the public Museum named after Nicholas Roerich of the International Center of the Roerichs, destroyed by vandals from the State Museum of Oriental Art, and bring those responsible to justice. We also ask you to stop the further destruction of the very organization "International Center of the Roerichs", which they are trying to liquidate, so as not to leave either the victim or the witness.

Council of the labor collective of the International Center of the Roerichs

Instruction

Formulate the main problem (topic). It must be important to many people. Most often, open letters draw attention to negative facts in the field of health care, education, utilities, etc.

Determine the addressee of the letter, i.e. the official, civil servant, leader to whose attention you want to bring information on the controversial issue. You can apply to the President of the Russian Federation, the governor, the deputy, the general director, the class teacher, etc. It is important that the addressee is empowered to solve the problem or has a direct relationship with it.

Consider the structure of the letter. If you are writing a collective appeal, consider the opinion of each author. Discuss what goal you want to achieve with an open letter, what facts you need to provide to confirm your case, what solutions you see and can offer to solve the problem.

Draft the letter. State your claims with reason, and thoughts and facts consistently. Start by describing the situation that prompted you to write an open letter. List the actions you have taken and their results, or lack thereof. Since this format is intended to generalize, link specific facts together, highlighting commonalities. Thus, when publicly criticizing the housing and communal services reform in the region, cite several cases of violation of the rights of apartment owners, refer to available documents and expert opinion.

You can also write an open letter in the form of reasoning, reflection. This form is more suitable for moral and ethical problems. The letter-reasoning is addressed, as a rule, not individual person, but the public, social group, population of the region, etc. For example, you are worried about the clutter of city streets. One of the reasons for this you think is the low level of culture of the townspeople. Therefore, in an open letter you reflect on the responsibility of a citizen, on upbringing by personal example and appeal to fellow countrymen to take care of their native city.

Reread the draft letter. Exclude incorrect and rude statements. Correct the mistakes. Be sure to specify the positions, last names, first names and patronymics of all the people mentioned in the letter.

Type the letter or write in legible handwriting. Use white A4 paper. Write only on one side of the sheet, respecting the margins. If you plan to send an email, save it in a text format that can be read on any computer.

On the last page of the letter, the authors must put personal signatures. Anonymous messages are not credible and may not be accepted for consideration. You can attach a file with scanned signatures to the electronic version of an open letter.

Decide how you want to make the open letter public. The most popular are the following options: publication in the press (federal, regional, corporate), reading on the air of a television or radio program, posting on the official website of the organization. To place an open letter in the media, you must first contact the editors and discuss the necessary details. When publishing an open letter on the Internet, do it on special pages of official websites. This opportunity is provided by most of the Internet portals of state and municipal authorities, as well as public organizations, control and supervisory authorities.

Helpful advice

Act consistently. Use an open letter when other ways to solve a problem have been exhausted.

Anyone can find themselves in a difficult situation. If all options for solving the problem have been exhausted, it may be worth considering appealing to the head of state. For this, there is no need to make “the necessary acquaintances”, you just need to correctly compose a request.

Mrs. Vasilyeva, Redikultsev Anton Valerievich, teacher of the secondary secondary school villages of Kalgi, Trans-Baikal Territory. After many days of painful thought, I decided to express my opinion about what is happening. I will not try on the masks of excessive courtesy and will not bother myself with the search for elegant words. I will express everything that has been boiling in my heart for a long time. And I think not only me. I hope that the pedagogical community for the most part will support my appeal, albeit quietly, albeit silently. Time and circumstances dictate here.

Recently, I, like many of my colleagues, have witnessed many statements about the growing well-being of Russian teachers. Yes, I will talk about it. Understanding that the slogan about the nobility and self-denial of our profession, which is filthy and somewhat lost its gloss in our difficult capitalist time, is actively pedaled at the right time and in the right place, I will try to move away from this hypocritical demagoguery and show by my own example what is true for me, what is fiction. I do not dare to point you out or give advice. But I consider it my civic duty to lift the slightly blinkered eyelids of our bureaucracy.

With enviable regularity, recently the media has been reporting that the salary of a Russian teacher is conquering more and more peaks. So you recently announced the amount of 33.2 thousand rubles, designating it as an average. How much I have been working at school (and I have been working for almost 22 years), my higher education in the humanities, apparently, is not enough to realize the full depth and versatility of this mystical concept - “average salary”.

Why mystical? Because this amount is not available to the vast majority of my colleagues, and in some incomprehensible way, completely different numbers are displayed in the calculations. And if someone is the happy owner of the winning ticket, then in terms of the level of workload, the degree of workload and the amount of work performed, he is unlikely to meet the criteria of that very “average” value. Because, if I understand correctly, the average salary should somehow correlate with the corresponding workload, the same average.

But, as it shows personal experience work and communication with colleagues, no correspondence is observed in this case. Take at least our team. The indicated amount, of course, is present in the accounts of my colleagues. There are those who can boast of the amount of under four dozen. But, again, this in no way corresponds to the proverbial "average" workload. They practically live in a school.

I won't go far for examples. I'll tell you about myself.

Experience 22 years. Higher education. I teach three wonderful subjects at school. Lesson load 23 hours. In addition to this, I conduct a sports section, six hours a week. Plus check notebooks. Plus work with corrections. Plus office management. Moreover, a significant (in percentage terms, of course) increase in our beggarly salaries is made up of rural payments and the northern coefficient.

So, after listing all these budget regalia, what do I get out of it? And I have a modest 24 thousand in hand. This is with my far from average workload and rural. Can you imagine what I would have, working in a city school? No more than 18 or even 16 thousand.

Therefore, Mrs. Vasilyeva, you will forgive me, but listening to your breathing about the growing well-being of a Russian teacher is becoming more and more difficult every time. I do not take into account that the very fact of such a salary, which does not even reach the level of 600 dollars, is shameful and depressing. I will also refrain from making comparisons in the style of “they have them there”, so as not to be considered a Russophobe by an easy-to-draw public.

Of course, your rhetoric is easy to understand. To me, a mere mortal, two variants of such a discrepancy between your bureaucratic fantasies and the harsh reality that this state plunges us with enviable constancy come to mind.

The first option is that you simply do not know what is happening in the country. Then a very unpleasant conclusion arises either about your incompetence, or about sabotage by those who supply you with such disinformation.

The second option is that you simply play a role, not going beyond your role, creating a false picture of general well-being for an outside observer, talking about average salaries, but modestly silent about the median, voicing the amounts, but just as modestly silent about the corresponding amount of work load, talking about an increase in nominal amounts in teachers' accounts, not noticing the protracted decline in real incomes of the population.

Then you can quite naturally be suspected of elementary hypocrisy. But I think this scares you a little, because our attitude towards you is unlikely to be conveyed to you in all its rich palette due to non-working feedback.

Frankly, another assumption of a medical nature suggests itself - chronic dizziness from success. But I'm not a doctor. And not a politician. Therefore, I do not insist.

Let's get back to facts and figures. You must have heard the legend called "May Decrees"? Persistent rumors are circulating among the budgetary servants that, in accordance with them, the salaries of teachers should now be an order of magnitude higher. In addition, Article 134 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation directly points to the timely provision of an increase in the level of the real content of wages. So, given all of the above, there should be a synergistic effect with salary increases. And if we take into account the fact, shameful for the Great, Immeasurable and Rising from its knees, that the main part of the income of a poor Russian teacher goes to paying off tariff payments and buying food (at least 80%), then, starting from 2014, in our printouts on salary change (sorry, pay, of course) should display numbers that are at least 60-80% higher than the humiliating amount that we have now.

Of course, I, as a conscious and responsible modern citizen of my country, must understand that your bright and principled impulses to increase the well-being and prestige of the teaching profession are opposed by the whole world - from the State Department to the Fifth Column and from Barack Obama to Angela Merkel - but, given some facts from real life, vague doubts creep in more and more often that not everything is so simple.

Forgive me for my corrosiveness and, perhaps, some suspicion, but I will allow myself to plunge into the mothballs of my budgetary memories in order to acquaint you and your colleagues with the thorns through which the financial well-being of the Russian teacher had to wade through, in which you see us from time to time trying to convince.

So, the 5-year history of my existence in numbers and facts

year 2014.

I have been working at the school for less than 20 years. Load at school 26 hours. Additionally, I have a load of sports school as a trainer-teacher 15 hours. Salary for the school 24 thousand. As a coach, I get 8500 in my hands. Total 32500 is my earnings at the end of those very notorious fat years, provided, in my humble opinion, by the external situation, that is high prices for oil.

But the political turbulence around our country, created by well-known events, which I will not give an assessment of here, in order to somehow improve to the same beggarly wages, even then began to lead to disappointing thoughts. It was not necessary to be Nostradamus to understand that in Russia everything will be as it is said in one folk wisdom: "Beat your own so that strangers are afraid." The consequences were not long in coming.

2015

Transition to a new wage system. I don’t know what caused all these perturbations around the system of remuneration for teachers, but at the end it turned out as it is briefly and succinctly described in one more phrase: “We wanted better, but it turned out as always.” However, whether they wanted better is an open question.

As a result, since January 2015, together, under a silent and patient “I approve, sir,” which our smaller brothers, usually moving in herds and covered with warm curly hair, would probably envy, signed new terms of the employment contract.

As a result, I lost about 4 thousand rubles in wages. Some are "luckier" even more. Someone lost 6-8 thousand.

And since September 2015, my wealth, already against the backdrop of shamelessly shifting prices and tariffs upwards, steadily began to creep in the opposite direction, just as shamelessly and cynically conflicting with chronically positive Russian statistics and hysterical enthusiasm about our grandiose successes in external and internal geopolitical and economic arenas.

In the Youth Sports School, in which I continued to regularly fulfill my coaching and pedagogical duties, there has also been a certain shift. In which direction, I think, it is easy to guess. The load in terms of cost savings was reduced to 12 hours.

As a result, by the end of 2015, my monthly remuneration was about 26-27 thousand rubles. Who knew that this trend would only increase. You can, of course, take into account the fact that my workload has also decreased. But we are talking about the real content of wages, about how much an hour worked at school costs, and that I, as a law-abiding citizen and specialist with higher education, I can afford the money earned during this hour. The May Decrees proudly marched past us with an imperturbable air. Unfortunately, the rise in prices for goods and services, unlike the decrees, did not pass us by.

2016

Stimulus payments are out of sight forever. Let's just say that at the time of their presence they didn't stimulate much, but still, there was a certain chance to get a piece of the pie in the shameful distribution of stimulating points. Now they are depriving them of that too.

Plus, I think it's still there. The team became more united again. But in monetary terms, my colleagues and I lost from 2 to 6 thousand rubles.

Cut benefits. In particular, they reduce the amount of the refund for housing and communal services.

And on the horizon, the next brainchild of our caring government is looming more and more clearly - the optimization of everything and everything. This happiness has not bypassed us either.

And in September 2016, our children's and youth sports school fell under the skating rink of optimization and was liquidated as a separate educational organization. Now she has been transferred to the beginning of our secondary school, and now we are proudly called teachers additional education. Level Requirements sports training, it’s easy to guess, have decreased, we were clearly given to understand that we moderate our ambitions.

The stakes were severely cut, the workload was reduced by two or two and a half times. Now I, fulfilling all the same duties, in the already former sports school, now proudly called Hall No. 2, receive 4,300 rubles in my hands.

Do you know what is especially disturbing in this situation? Against the backdrop of outrageous statements about the importance of the professional growth of a specialist and the need for personal initiative in the workplace, the system shows a complete and absolute indifference, a cynical disregard for successes in the field. I don't think it's necessary to explain how it hits the hands and professional pride. And, believe me, the stage of resentment has already passed and such an attitude is already beginning to cause angry indignation.

I'll give my example. Over the past 4 years, thanks to the fact that I, like that same frog in milk, try to kick my legs, positive changes continue to occur at the local level in terms of sports: I expand the hall, look for sponsors to purchase equipment, annually carry out repairs at my own expense and at my own expense, I hold competitions at the local level, annually bring prize-winners and winners of competitions at the regional level, have already released more than a dozen sportsmen, there is also a CCM, I myself compete in competitions and in December 2017 I fulfilled the standard of the Master of Sports in powerlifting, I ennoble my gym, I do the design (I draw art on the wall), I keep my channel on YouTube, I created a sports website. And for all this, as a coach, I get 4 times less than a technician at school.

In no way am I belittling the work of those who keep the premises clean, but, excuse me, it is difficult to call this state of affairs adequate. Perhaps the officials sitting in high offices were overwhelmed with good intentions, launching this optimization skating rink in the country. Perhaps it is appropriate here to recall the saying about the good tsar and the evil boyars, who on the ground do not do everything the way it was originally intended. Maybe. But the thought persistently comes to mind that the fish, nevertheless, rots from the head.

Let me summarize. By the fall of 2016, my salary was 22 thousand rubles. By this time, food prices had risen by at least 40-50%, compared with 2014, and the increase in tariffs was also not long in coming. The ghost of the May decrees continued to persistently wander somewhere in the distance, not wanting to come closer. In the local media, allusions to the abolition of regional coefficients are increasingly heard. Going to the store to borrow groceries is becoming something commonplace. Local merchants, apparently, turned out to be more aware of the true state of affairs among the population, unlike you and your colleagues in warm and spacious offices, Ms. Vasilyeva.

2017

You can draw some deplorable results. So, in nominal terms, my monthly cash remuneration has decreased by 10 thousand rubles over three and a half years. In percentage terms - minus 30 percent. Let's add here, of course, the fall in the real content of wages against the backdrop of jumping prices and tariffs.

Let me remind you unobtrusively that, even if we take into account the average salary of a Russian teacher you mentioned, the bulk of this salary goes to exactly what has recently risen significantly in ruble terms: food and tariffs. As a conclusion, losses in real content should be added to the loss in nominal terms.

What do we have as a result? And as a result, we have that, fulfilling all the same professional duties, acquiring certain experience and seniority, improving in my profession, passing on my experience, achieving some intermediate goals, I become poorer and poorer every year.

Based on the figures above, I can say with full confidence that over the past 3-4 years I have become poorer by at least 40%. And believe me, this is no exception to the rule. This is the rule.

2018 year.

This year, our naive, unwilling to learn from their own mistakes, always stepping on the rake of your promises, the pedagogical electorate, slightly cheered up with rumors of a 4% salary increase.

But, as often happens, as soon as we wanted to once again live happily and comfortably, we were taken aback by another piece of news. It turns out that those who do not fall under another rite - the May Decrees - will be subjected to the rite of promotion.

But the whole bitter comedy of the situation lies in the fact that your government has learned so deftly how to maneuver and maneuver in a raging sea economic crisis, managing a state galley, that the overwhelming majority of state employees happily avoided these signs of well-being that could not begin in any way. So this time, the reaction to the news was only an uncertain rustle of voices and quiet chuckles of my colleagues. No indignation, no angry exclamations, no fist on the table. Well, we are not French teachers, not Mexican, and certainly not Norwegian during the Second World War. The galley sails on, and nothing can and does not want to rock it. Well, how can you not admire us, Mrs. Vasilyeva, isn't it?

This is how an ordinary Russian teacher lives, or rather survives. A teacher who has forgotten or is silent about professional vanity, about civic consciousness, about his constitutional rights. The teacher, who, instead of being a flagship in the upbringing of the younger generation, a model of free thinking, an example of a citizen who is able and able to defend his rights, has turned into a weak-willed creature, a silent victim of your state hypocrisy.

Who will be brought up by a beggar and humiliated teacher? Give answer. But no one canceled the principle of downward adaptation of the population. Therefore, someone is content with the existing state of affairs and is afraid of losing what he has. Someone has adapted and reconciled. Someone quite comfortably settled down behind his more moneyed spouse. Someone is satisfied with the state handout in the form of an even more beggarly pension. Someone is holding on to subsidiary farm and gardener. And someone is simply indifferent, because "it's more expensive for yourself."

I am responsible for every word said in this appeal, Mrs. Vasilyeva. I won’t lie, but something tells me that if before the presidential elections the state is not able to patch up its holes and cover up its shame, then after March 2018, when the pre-election buffoonery and the open secret (who will take the helm?) will be opened, there will not be enough material for patching holes at all.

So two eternal sacramental Russian questions arise: who is to blame and what to do? It seems to me that you are not able to give us an answer to these questions. After all, for this you need to at least slightly distract yourself from the feeling of your own superiority and exclusivity, descend from your state Olympus and hear people. And not once or twice a year on some forum. And hear it all the time. But this requires a couple more qualities - courage and honor.

But I, as a citizen of my country, as a representative of the education system repeatedly humiliated by you, a simple teacher who sees the situation from the inside, I take the liberty of denying you and your bureaucratic brethren these fundamental human qualities. Because no matter what you say, no matter how you hide behind your charming speeches, no matter what violent activity you imitate, one conclusion suggests itself. If state employees in general and teachers in particular become impoverished from year to year, if year by year the citizens of the country feel more and more powerless and disadvantaged, then this means only one thing - this is the “party line”, this is the essence of state policy. And nothing else. I really do not want to make assumptions about your complete lack of professionalism. Otherwise it becomes scary. For the education system. For the country. For the future.

Even though it's scary.

In terms of content, it usually represents an appeal to a person or group of persons in power with a demand, request, reporting of facts or opinions of signatories on some socially significant issue, or an appeal to the general public in order to draw public attention to a specific issue. Open letters, as a rule, are published in public print media with signatures of individual participants or groups in which they are united.

Purpose

As a rule, open letters are issued by groups of signatories that do not have formal authority and / or technical ability to influence certain social processes or situations that are publicly significant, in their opinion, that concern them. In such a situation, a public letter turns out to be a way to directly "conscientify" the decision makers to whom it is addressed, to indirectly influence their decision by forming the appropriate public opinion.

On the other hand, the writing and publication of open letters can be initiated by the authorities in order to create the appearance of public support for any of their own decisions. In such cases, the direction of the influence of the letter changes to the opposite, it turns from a means of public pressure on the state into a form of state propaganda.
