Farewell Slava Today, we are all poorer. Humanity has lost Slava, the leader in music and in the struggle for freedom. The waves of harmony he created radiated from our planet towards the universe. Our world was fortunate to have been endowed with his presence. I feel really grateful that Slava honoured me with his friendship. We cooperated in the Sakharov Festival in Athens, and in the Bios Prize award to Jacques Cousteau in Paris, a cooperation culminating in a Bios Prize to Slava himself, in St. Petersburg, in 1999. All the friends of B.I.O. believe his enlightened personality is our valued legacy. We admired and loved him. He was at the top, yet he never hesitated to share his experiences with humour. Slava, you are always with us. Agni Vlavianos

Water, energy, climate, the need for growth to meet the growth of needs, multi-lateral cooperation, faster learning and deeper understanding, formed topics of open conversations infused with the arts and nature, as the participants gathered to ask: “How on earth can we live together?” “Creating a Society of Harmony” was the vision contributed by the B.I.O. President. It is published in Visions from the Present, publication of the Tallberg Forum 2005. Contributors also include HM King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Jaap Spier, Attorney General of the Netherlands, Margot Wallstrom Vice President of the European Commission and other people of influence. |
