Whoever is reading this, I beg you: please donate on my behalf. I swear, as soon as I get out of Russia, I will subscribe to everything possible at Meduza, to any monthly donation. But right now, I am a Russian woman with a police report against me. I used to write a lot, but I stopped because now I am afraid of appearing on social media at all. I am afraid that the FSB will remember me. I am planning to leave Russia in the spring of 2027. And I am terrified that I won't be able to leave. I know it sounds like paranoia, but I am constantly waiting for a knock at my door. Or for the intercom to ring. It is impossible to put into words how grateful I am to Meduza for the fact that, in all this chaos, I can always open the news in the morning and understand what really happened. Meduza has saved my sanity from utter horror more than once. If you can donate for me, I will be very grateful to you. You will probably ask why I didn't leave sooner. I spent four years burying my parents. First my mother was ill, then she died under the most brutal circumstances. Then my father was very ill. My father, by the way, was Ukrainian. Together with him, we were sickened by what is happening. At the end of 2025, he died. He never lived to see Ukraine's victory. Please, do not let Meduza close. I beg you.
