01 · THE DISPATCH

Actor Dean Miroshnikov appeared in a preview of the C14 program Sicha, where he made two distinct statements. In one, he described being bullied as a child for his Russian background, saying he was called a 'stinky Russian' and detailing how he now channels that experience into helping others. In the other, he addressed the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, in which Israeli forces raided a Gaza-bound flotilla, stating: 'We acted according to what we were told and came out of it the best we could.' The full interview is expected to air Saturday night. The Zioneer reported on July 8 that Miroshnikov had spoken in an earlier preview about discovering his Jewish identity and absorption difficulties.
