The first time I’ve heard about Navalny was the article in 2010 that he demanded to punish Putin for flying BE-200 without pilot license. And I was astonisched the way he chose to undermine state propaganda. Since that time I’ve read his blog and saw how he developed from bloger and local activist to a […]

Bautzner Str. Memorial
After the WWII eastern part of Germany was under Soviet occupation. After Nazi regime collapsed, new vision for the country was required and Stalin decided that another copy of Soviet system would do well and began to build totalitarian system. And what a dictator you are without political prisons?
One year of the War
It’s hard to forget the morning of Feb 24, 2022 in Kyiv. The loud burst, the noise of neighbours dashing around the apartments, BBC web site with news about Russian invasion to Ukraine. After it was the endless traffic jam on the road from Kyiv with brave Ukrainian soldiers rushing in the opposite direction to […]
Fear of information
There were two events on the week that linked together. The first one was interview by russian showman Oskar Kuchera on YouTube channel VDud. During the interview he expressed several times the support of war and Putin’s actions.

War museum in Minsk
It would be very strange to live in the Planeta hotel, right across the Victory park and not to visit the Museum of War. I’ve been several times in such places in different countries but amid the Russian invasion in Ukraine the entire exhibition become extremely actual and modern.
Mobilization
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.
