I did not save my country from Russia. This reckless despair is still burning inside of me.
Today I turned 27.
I was 14 when Russia started the war against my country. I am slowly reaching the end of my 20s.
I am so sorry.
These reflections are really energy consuming. I need to wake up early to join the official commemoration of the victims at the cemetery in Warsaw. I will be back to this thread: I will finish it and then repost it to Twitter.
At this photo I am 17 years old in Lyiv (wearing a dark blue winter coat)
I was into OSINT Twitter in 2021: I am no researcher, but I was good at finding information (and good at pattern recognition).
Honestly speaking, back in Oct2021 I was already trying to convince my friends Russia was going to attack. I had a weird illusion it could save somebody from something.
Sometimes I am afraid I will leave everything and perish into the mountains. Thank you so much for supporting me! It really means a lot!
Could I ever imagine myself as I am now? No.
Am I good with who I am now? Yes.
Did the full-scale invasion have an impact on who I am now? Definitely.
Warsaw, Feb2022.
I got my master's degree in psychology couple of days before the 24.02.2022 (while in the middle of crisis intervention study).
Слухаю сайндтрек майнкрафта (поки в майнкрафті зайде сонце). Треба якось зібрати сили і написати якийсь еее звіти діяльності, бо людям ж треба бачити роботу. Але в якийсь момент мені розхотілося писати про те, що роблю. Бо все здається не вартим уваги на фоні війни за виживання мого народу.
Bardzo dziękuję za zaproszenie i ciepłą, uważną rozmowę Karolina Kłaczyńska oraz Paweł Sulik.
12 lutego miałam przyjemność opowiedzieć na antenie @tokfm.bsky.social o działalności fundacji Terytorium Kobiet w Warszawie.
Rozmawialiśmy o naszej pracy na rzecz młodzieży, kobiet oraz kultury — o tym, jak ważne jest tworzenie bezpiecznych, wspierających przestrzeni.
Done! :)
People like us should gather together and not let the darkness consume the world.
Good to read your comment. Sending a hug.
There’s no justice for everyone. Only the strongest inflict justice. They inflict it the way it benefits them.
So, justice doesn’t exist for weak.
Weak are destined to die and be forgotten.
That’s what I learned since 2022.
The only thing we need is power.
Who’s a «Russian»? A violent creature, stillborn monster that has no room for love in their heart. This thing only understands power.
At some point I stopped trying to understand Russian violence.
I understand nothing. Not a single thing.
I praised democracy.
Where is it now?
Declarations, memorandums.
Paper can’t save a single human being in my country from Russians.
Don’t use the story full of children’ suffering to aid your hate line. Please.
I AM REALLY SAD TO ANNOUNCE, but pedophile networks exist in every damn country.
It’s funny to see how people who are hating Jews on a daily basis concentrate on #EPSTEIN NETWORK IS ALL #JEWISH!!!
Guys, I am really sad to interrupt your hate agenda, but, first of all, Jews can be Russian.
And I am sure that the core of this network is a #KGB honeytrap.
Many vulnerable individuals will suffer from symptoms worsening.
Evil, if not punished, continues to cause harm. Not a single person if safe until these people are in power.
There’s something I don’t see on social media.
I would like you to read it.
So much traumatic info being spread will cause many people who don’t see themselves as victims to reprocess memories and come to understanding they were abused.
So called «me too effect».
Back in 2020 I watched this amazing documentary and was heavily inspired by the work of those fighting sex crimes against children. Now you are required to pay for it, but I would like to leave a link here.https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/children-of-the-sex-trade/umc.cmc.ffts8ytdes6ihyka9onqapw6
And let’s not forget that journalists covering these crimes suffer from vicarious trauma as well—they, too, deserve resources for recovery.
I want to see this kind of justice.
My heart goes to Virginia Giuffre.
Rest in peace.
First and foremost, the money he left behind should be seized and used to support victims. The assets of others who are proven guilty should be used the same way.
Epstein left millions of dollars to his mistress, Karyna.
Karyna was part of his network.
Once again, we are facing a long list of victims—many of them still alive—and I am absolutely certain they need help. Substance abuse, psychological suffering, physical symptoms: healing any of this requires resources.
After Russia loses this war against Ukraine, I want to see Russian money used to help Ukrainians and rebuild Ukraine: to restore cities, support people, and provide the best possible care.
As a Ukrainian living through a genocidal, existential war, I don’t simply say, “Those abusers belong in prison or worse.”
The second thing I keep thinking about is the victims.
Yes, those three million pages still need to be thoroughly analyzed. But what about the hundreds—thousands—of children and adults who were abused?
So after Saturday—and after this renewed explosion of information about Epstein and Maxwell—I’ve been asking myself: What can I, as an individual, do?
I’m proud to say that I will do many things and will focus part of my efforts on supporting children and young adults.
In a way, CSA became even closer and more unbearable after the invasion: the terrifying scale of sexual violence against children committed by Russian soldiers is locked somewhere deep in my mind.
By 2021, I felt fairly certain about my professional direction: supporting victims of CSA was a central part of that plan.
Then came 2022. The full-scale Russian invasion left me dissociated and in shock, and I began working on a youth project instead.
At the time (around 2012, I think), I told myself, “You’re not smart enough—and you’ll be killed quickly.”
In 2020, I began exploring the presence of child sexual abuse (CSA) on the web. It left me deeply depressed, unsurprisingly.
