“I live my life as I consider it necessary - without looking back at all informers, executioners and Vertukhaev, who may not like it. I have a blog in which I write what I think, and publicly express my thoughts as I think is correct.

Perhaps this freedom has its own price. Perhaps I will have to pay this price. Among my friends and acquaintances there are people who have already paid - but also they could escape in time. But I respect their choice. And for many years, looking at these examples, I asked myself what I would have done, being in their place - when the threat of repression was already voiced, but has not yet materialized. The answers came to the head of the very different, but with one general conclusion: in my only life, I am not ready to sacrifice freedom for the sake of safety. And he is not ready to commit - even in the name of the very security - no act, after which he would cease to respect himself. A knock on the door can be heard any day. And you just need to be ready for him.

“I am ready.”

Anton Nosik.
