As-Safi Octalogy author's son's address to Ishiba Shigeru

My name is Khazrat Tebu. I'm from Russia.
I'm the son of Shukur Tebuev (1944-2021), author of the largest poetic work of the world written by one person, As-Safi Octalogy - an epic drama with elements of lyrics of philosophical and didactic content in 8 parts, 40 books - with the volume of more than 400 thousand lines.
I appealed to the UN and UNESCO with a request to include my father's As-Safi Octalogy in the World Cultural Heritage Fund.
The work surpasses by volume Homer's Iliad-Odyssey (29K), Valmiki's Ramayana (48), Ferdowsi's Shah-nameh (120K), Vyasa's Mahabharata (180K) and the official version of the Manas epic (396K), while yielding to the printed version of the epic from the Guinness Book of Records (500K).
Please also petition the UN with a similar request, for your voice is much more important to them than mine.
I also ask you to remind the Library of Congress of their promise to make my father's book remotely available for free in December 2020 and again in May 2021. Apparently, the crisis in relations between Russia and the United States was the reason for the failure to fulfill that promise. Thanks again to Library of Congress Curator Matthew Young for his assistance in this matter.
I hope that you can show your will and understanding not to make my dead father a hostage of the current world political conjuncture only because he was born in the USSR, died in Russia and wrote in Russian.

With respect,
Khazrat Tebu
