about

Shortly said:

1. The Kremlin gnome murdered Navalny. 

2. Hey freak, Give his body to the family. Now.

3. No forgiveness, no stopping the change. Nothing will be forgotten.

It’s been a week since Alexey Navalny was murdered by the psychopathic gnome in kremlin

And only now can I talk. What you see in my social media - that is an effort of a whole team who continues to work and post even if I’m out in the dark woods. Where I find myself currently. 

It’s a weird feeling. 

I am so grateful to finally have people by my side who help me manifest what had been on my mind for so long. I feel blessed to have those people walking along with me.

On the other hand - I see my Instagram feed and I see a big black hole somewhere behind the web of my story. Something unsaid.

I was speechless when I saw Yulia Navalnaya doing her statement. This second of empathy with her, looking into her eyes, almost killed me. Hypersensitivity gives me gifts like this that I can’t protect myself from. 

I am mourning the loss of Alexey, as a loss of one fragment of hope. But I also am happy that he’s finally free. I can never really sympathise with dead people - for me they’re free and they’re still here.

What hurts is this black hole of loss now growing  in the hearts of his family. 

What hurts is knowing that it wasn’t an accident, that the perpetrator knew exactly what this death would do to Navalny’s family, friends and supporters. And he did it. This cold cruelty is unforgivable. 

And no, that’s not the last drop. The last drops were long before - with the first drops of Syrian and Ukrainian blood. 

I spoke about it before. I said pretty much everything about it in ‘Mother Russia’

What I didn’t say though, is how I feel about the russian psychopath gnome 

I wrote a requiem for him! Oh gosh, how much anger there was in me when I wrote it on the 20th of February 2022!

It’s called ‘Serpent Song’ and I want to release it to you in a demo version as a sign of my continuing fight with darkness within & without.

I am not a politician or a journalist, I observe and process. 

These emotions are what happens in between and becomes a snapshot of a moment in time - an account of dramatic events shared in hope that history will not be repeated. 

Rest in power Alexey & all the innocent victims of russian regime across the world and nations
