I have lived through three eras and reached my fiftieth year. I was born in the era of "developed socialism," lived through the times of "perestroika" and "post-perestroika," and have now witnessed "developed russism."

In 1989, I was convinced that the world had come to its senses - definitively and irreversibly. I wanted to live, create, and rejoice in success. I received a higher education in the humanities, have been engaged in entrepreneurship in my field for 25 years, started a family, and raised children.

I never thought I would see "the same rake" with my own eyes, but I did... Only now has the understanding come that it was inevitable.

When you have a family, you cannot help but think about the world you will leave to your children and grandchildren. At one moment, I realized that by having children, I was condemning them to suffering. It is impossible to push away this thought. Therefore, I decided to take the only right and most difficult path - to change this world.
