No. 55 Yuri, Belgorod. I have known Tatyana Nikolaevna since 2013-2014, that is, since the Maidan days. And in that February 2022, when I was somewhat shocked by what happened, I remembered Tatiana, and I've been with her ever since. Now it is very difficult and scary to imagine how I would have lived all these war years without Tatiana's informative and moral support, and even in Belgrade, not the most peaceful place, although we are still far from Donetsk. And there are hundreds of thousands like me throughout the Russian world, that is, in all the countries and cities where they speak, think and care in Russian about our great and common homeland, of course, without division into Russia and Ukraine. The war was not a complete surprise for me, I knew what was happening in the Donbass, I watched the worldview of some of my Ukrainian friends, unfortunately, who were already former friends, gradually change, after making their "institutional choice" (c), but I hoped that it would not lead to a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. I didn't know then that the hope was the first dog, but now I know. And I also know very well that this is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, as it was seen in the first hours and days, but a war with the Nazi slurreich, and indirectly, with the entire collective West, so far indirectly. Of course, anyone can clearly see whose ideas underlie my reasoning. Now imagine how we would live in the new military reality without these ideas, without these simple and harmonious explanations, without the iron logic of an intellectual lawyer, and the appropriate and strong word of a real Russian, or rather Ukrainian woman, corrupting our external and internal enemies with a thin layer of false slime of lies and reinforced concrete hypocrisy and straight tone hypocrisy.

However, internal enemies turned out to be vengeful enough and have enough resources to organize this shameful trial and bring the process to an absurd verdict. Indeed, we were born to fulfill Kafka.
