I had to leave my country
🕑 Added 2022-10-04 01:58:50 +0000 UTCSorry I've been gone for a while and didn't have any updates.
I must say that the last couple of weeks have been very difficult for me, my loved ones, and continue to be.
As you know, the war is still going on. Every day people die. But this is not enough for Putin, and he decided to sacrifice even more people for the sake of his goals.
Mobilization is going on right now in Russia. Men are forced to go and kill other people and die themselves. People caught at rallies against the war and mobilization are handed summons to the draft board. If you refuse this, then you will face jail. Some of my friends have already half or such and do not know what to do. It's only a matter of time before it touches everyone in my country.
All this time I was solving problems, and decided to flee the country, leaving most of my life behind.
It was not easy for me and not the first time I was able to cross the border. It's not the best feeling when the military takes your passport and then asks you to get off the bus. I couldn't cross the Finnish border. But after that I was able to fly to Istanbul for very expensive tickets, and now I'm here. I don't know what to do next yet.
I hope that this is a temporary solution and soon I will be able to return home. But there is little hope. But I took my laptop and tablet with me, so I hope that soon I will find the strength to draw. All this is a very big stress that has not yet passed, since I also worry about my relatives and friends who cannot leave.
This is my third day in Istanbul, and only now I have the energy to write about it. Now I will try to take a breath for at least a few days to draw again.
And once again I want to thank you for your great support! I can't imagine what I would do without you all! This is the hardest time of my life and you are helping me get through it.

This is why I love donating to people on here. Yeah you get rewards in return but it's also nice to be able to help someone out. Like everyone says, and we can't stress this enough, take your time to get things settled. We will keep supporting you and hope your friends and family get through this.

Thank you so much! This is really a lot of support that I'm not sure I deserve.
Boni
Thank you!

Thank you! In fact, you are already doing a lot, and your support helped me get out of the country. Without all of you, I would hardly have been able to take such a difficult step.

Да, рисование моя основная и единственная работа, сейчас по сути только благодаря поддержке на Патреоне у меня появилась возможность выбраться в другую страну. К сожалению у многих моих близких такой возможности нет. Не знаю как долго я буду в Турции, как минимум месяц, а там посмотрим.

Thank you! I hope the bad times pass as soon as possible

Thank you! You already help me a lot with your support. Largely due to this, I had the opportunity to leave the country.

The war is unfortunately effecting everyone in small and big ways as its very unpleasant to think about, but we have to stay positive as things will get better in time. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through but your strong individual for making that decision. Please take as long as you need, there is no rush and you have our support.

Я в шоке, что и тебе пришлось так поступить. Я думаю, что некоторые художники покинули страну уже или планируют это сделать, но не пишут об этом или пока не написали. Спасибо, что ты делишься с другими людьми тем, что происходит в твоей жизни. Я очень надеюсь, что ты в ближайшее время сможешь улучшить свое пребывание в Стамбуле. Чтобы тебе было безопасно, комфортно. Так же желаю тебе вернуться к рисованию в ближайшее время. Я не уверена, но вроде бы это твоя основная работа. Да, как ни крути, а без денег никуда. А ты планируешь после Стамбула выдвигаться куда-то дальше? Или тебя пока всё устраивает? Во всех странах, одина из проблем, это всегда виза. Без нее выпнут из страны. Так что и в этом вопросе я тебе желаю успехов.

It is an immense relief to hear from you and truly a blessing to know you made it out okay. There is no formation of words that I could come up with to bring any comfort in this situation. I cannot even begin to imagine the heartache and stress you are dealing with, and can only offer prayer. Do everything you can to survive, that is the greatest victory in the face of this ongoing tragedy. Please, stay safe and most of all take care of yourself. If there is anyway to help, please let us know. God speed and thank you for letting us know you are okay.
