I arrived to Russia on Sep 9 to apply for a German visa and complete some urgent business. And once again I underestimated Russian government. I thought it is so unpopular that Putin with his idea of stability will never cross the line.
However it looks like Russian army could not proceed with Ukraine occupation and even could not keep under control vast area of Eastern Ukraine. And this mobilization is the least evil for Kremlin in compare with loosing this bloody war.
But going back to my own case, I decided to move out of Russia and right after Visa Center took a bus to Minsk and in six hours found myself in Belorussia.
Of course, this is not the safest country to escape from Russia. At the begin of the war Russian soldiers use Belorussia to attack Ukraine from the north and reach Kyiv. However, it was the best available option and I hope local law enforcement agencies will not prevent me to leave Minsk on my way to Berlin.
