My personal, intimate project where I share my thoughts about the lives of queer people in Russia and worldwide. The goal is to build mutual bridges between queer people and people with so-called “traditional” values, to bring a little more peace into this world. I want to grow this project — to interview both sides, host joint conversations, and tell people’s stories.

Tor4Russia is a civic and technical initiative aimed at ensuring access to information and protecting users’ digital privacy under restrictions on freedom of speech and access to information in Russia.

A significant portion of independent information sources, as well as cultural and educational materials, is blocked or restricted in Russia. This makes it harder to access diverse, objective information and to participate in open public dialogue.

The project’s goal is to develop infrastructure for anonymous and secure access to the open internet using Tor technologies, including supporting and deploying nodes that help users safely obtain information, protect personal data, and preserve the right to privacy online.

The project is strictly civic, informational, and human-rights oriented; it is not affiliated with political organizations and does not pursue goals of interfering in state processes.

This is my attempt to build a hub for projects aimed at resisting tyranny in Russia and stopping it from spreading beyond its borders. The idea is to make it easy — with a clear city-based structure — to see which initiatives are happening near you, how to join them, who organizes them, and to have all this in a convenient and accessible format instead of scattered Facebook groups and Telegram channels all over the internet.

This is not a project and not a statement — it is a recorded diagnosis for the maniacs entrenched in the fortress painted red (for a reason).

Russia is a country where innocent people are sent to torture and to slaughter.

The Kremlin regime is a criminal system soaked in corpse-poison, sustained by lies, fear, and other people’s blood.

The bloody Kremlin “elite” is not a government and not a state — it is the beneficiaries of violence, confusing a country with a personal bank and the population with disposable material.

This mechanism does not get reformed and does not “evolve.”

It is dismantled — without romance, without illusions, and without negotiations about conscience.

By isolating those who make decisions and those who are used to earning money and vacationing next to them (how are they not sick of themselves?).

By stripping prestige, money, status, legitimacy, and habitual comfort.

Activism outside Russia is not a gesture of sympathy and not a moral performance.

It is a practical tool for cutting off the financial and social oxygen of the system of violence.

Freedom begins where, through activists’ efforts outside Russia, the privileges of this bloody Kremlin elite first vanish abroad, and then the world stops looking away and can no longer pretend it does not notice the horror this system produces every day.
