Hi everyone, this is OstromysL. For a long time I haven’t published any bots. It’s time to explain what’s going on. I’ll do it briefly: I’m from Russia, and as you all know, Russia right now isn’t the most peaceful place. I’ve got a ton of problems. Problems with the law because of my statements online where I spoke against “their” war. I was fined 50,000 rubles (620.82 dollars), and they wanted to send me to prison. I’ve also been hiding from the army draft for a long time — because guys who are currently serving in the Russian army are being forced to sign contracts. They finally found me and want to send me to the war. Right now I’m trying to avoid this. In short, because of my views I have huge problems in the country, and I’m also banned from leaving the country. I’m fighting right now to make sure they don’t send me to the war.

As you understand, I wasn’t at all in the mood to create bots. A deep melancholy hit me, plus constant drone attacks, shelling, and the simple fact that you’re living during wartime — all of this seriously damages your mental health.

I’ve already started seriously thinking about emigrating, but I still need to find a place where they’ll actually accept me. Russians aren’t treated very well right now because of Putin. I myself am against the war and against Putin, but even so I’m a patriot of my country in my own way. I’ll try to sort out all my problems soon and get back on the path of creating bots.

Thank you everyone for listening and take care!
