A "mail point" of the "How Many?" campaign will work during the exhibition and all those who wish will have an opportunity to sign letters of inquiry about the number of victims in the zone of the Chechen conflict and measures taken to provide people's safety there and sent them to the Russian president and to the defense minister. Ryazan residents have already signed and sent over 500 letters of inquiry for the last two weeks.
