Shame

Hey, I guess I need to talk a little.
Silence is no longer possible. Sorry, there might be a lot of mistakes here ._.

It is very difficult to be ashamed of one's country for several years, especially now. I'm already afraid to tag where I'm from, because no one loves Russia (and I understand them perfectly). I am ashamed that I simply cannot influence the situation in any way, and it is getting worse every hour.

All the adequate population of the country, all my friends and relatives, NONE of us wanted war. I would like to personally apologize to every person in Ukraine for what is happening now...

And yes, you know what is the worst thing about all this for me? Russia will soon be disconnected from SWIFT and I will lose my only job. The bank I use has already been sanctioned and it is no longer possible to withdraw money to it.

In general, no matter how sad it may sound, but most likely I will have to suspend my activities in the near future. For now, the patreon will remain active and I even have a few works to show, but... I don't know what's next.

(I will draw the already existing paid orders, of course.)

The worst thing is that my boyfriend and I live in Moscow and if everything goes too far, we will just move away from here towards the Urals (To my hometown) and live there for a while. If we had the opportunity to leave this country, we would leave. But we don't have it.

All this is terrible and I would like to rewind the time a few years ago, when all this was not yet ...

Please take care of yourself and your loved ones, watch news only from trusted sources and try not to judge ordinary people in Russia. We are really embarrassed in front of everyone. Sorry.
