On a Personal Note – Why I Write?

Why do I write? Because it’s about values, freedom, and exchanging thoughts. I share my experiences and political views not to show off, but to reflect on the world. My values have been shaped by history, travel, and personal experiences. Today, I see freedom and democracy under threat—not just in Russia, but also in the West. Many people are disillusioned, but the alternatives are often worse. I may leave Germany again, but until then, I write to spark discussions. If we don’t defend our values, we risk losing them.
