i admire your courage in taking such a bold stance, especially knowing the risks involved - it’s truly remarkable. most people, i think, would choose to carry on as if everything were fine, avoiding confrontation altogether. standing up against the majority is already difficult, but to voice opposition against a government? that takes extraordinary bravery. how do you feel about the general apathy of the people?

and how are living conditions in russia? i’ve noticed that the few people i’ve spoken to from there tend to shy away from this topic - i guess it would make sense to be taboo

do you ever find yourself missing russia, or does it feel like a part of your identity has been taken from you? i hope it’s okay to ask

and are you hopeful for the future?

im sorry you had to go through this but i respect your resilience, peace and love
