When Russia invaded Ukraine, I lost my readers, my career, and my voice. Today, I’m finding it again. This video is deeply personal—it’s about what the war in Ukraine taught me about being Russian. About fear, silence, and the unbearable truth of watching people who look just like us destroy each other. I’ll tell you what broke me, what healed me, and why I chose to speak out when staying silent would’ve been easier. This is not politics—it’s a confession.
