Special made for a special member.

As for the thought of trying to cross into the US illegally, if or once caught he would likely be deported to Russia!
Not a good or safe idea at this point.

On the other hand and with so many forum members, perhaps we have an actual attorney who properly knows how the asylum process works and can explain it?

And so, the critical moment for me came the day when they said at work that the reservation from mobilization for workers was canceled and summons to the personnel department had already flown! There were not so many of them, but this is only the beginning, I thought, and began to prepare a plan to escape)))

I hope your translators will convey the general idea of my messages!
At work, he warned his boss that he had written a letter of resignation, but without dates. He said well. But on the day when they took my application, the chief was also drafted into the army. And there was no one to deal with my statement. Now I'm having trouble getting fired.

At this moment, conflicts began a few days later. That, someone jumped out of the window, someone was shot in the military registration and enlistment office, someone died from a heart attack on the bus. There are plenty of such cases that we do not even know about. I made a decision, it is better somewhere in the poor to live, not in my country, but away from here! He began writing his friends to Uzbekistan. As they always wrote to me, so that I was faster from there and came to them. Began to watch tickets. The plane was unrealized to buy. Their cost was from $ 2000-10000, which is just madness!

And then the day came, or rather the evening. Arriving from work, my wife, in tears, bought a plane ticket to Chelyabinsk and a train to Kazakhstan, while I packed my things in a backpack. Leaving the house at 20:30, in the dark, in the rain, saying goodbye to my wife, I went to the Void, I did not know if I would pass the border and what would happen next!

Well, there's the proper way, and then there's the way that it's being done know. The pure numbers being seen on the southern border prevents it from being done properly. Not mentioning politics, just reality.

Same here, there is the legal and the illegal way to cross the Gibraltar strait. On Monday, I will try to speak to a lawyer and get something in clear. There should be a way to apply for political asylum I guess.

I hope your countrymen pay Putin his dues soon and bring harmony back.
I'm definitely thinking of all the Ukrainian/Russian life's being wasted for a one man pipe dream of the old USSR reunited.
Thinking of you Ss1 and your family.

Мне жаль слышать, что тебе пришлось оставить свою семью. Это должно быть сложно.

And after 2.5 hours I landed in Chelyabinsk! There was already snow and it was about minus 5 degrees. In Chelyabinsk I had to live a day. Got on the train at night. Here everything was decided. In 7 hours the border with Kazakhstan! Russian border guards asked where am I? Said he was a tourist! Got my passport! Here I exhaled. But a 20-year-old guy was unlucky, he was read an article about the presidential decree and removed from the train. A friend was with him. They both got off the train. I hope they are alive! Passed Kazakh border guards. No questions were asked. Arrived in the city on schedule. I got into a taxi, in which 3 people were already sitting, also from Russia) We had to drive 5 hours to Astana!

вау, я могу только представить, как ты себя чувствуешь. Оставив семью и имущество. Оставайтесь сильными и на связи!

If they're not dealing with millions seeking said asylum, they can probably help a lot more than the ones over here.

Having reached Astana, I ran to look for a train ticket! The tickets are no longer available. After all, the influx of Russians was huge)) There was a bus ticket to Tashkent, but it took 32 hours to go))) There was no choice! And so, after 2 hours I was already sitting on the bus and heading towards Tashkent.

I had to drive only 1700 km. But throughout the entire journey, except for the last 300 km, there was road repair. After all, 30 years have passed since the times of the USSR and no one has built roads in Kazakhstan. It's hard to ride here even on a motorcycle, remembering your previous trips. The road passed through the most disliked by me part of Kazakhstan in the area of Lake Balkhash. The steppe, the wind, it was already cold. The wind blew clothes to the bone. The bus stopped occasionally. To the toilet and eat. For 32 hours I hardly ate anything. The cafes were disgusting, they cooked mostly meat. To my surprise, the road was generally without problems and quite comfortable. And now, after 25 hours, it got warmer, the landscape changed, mountains appeared. And my heart got warmer

I can get political asylum if I get to America, that is, as a tourist! And ask there! And yet, if I was at rallies against the authorities, there were documents from the police or a photo, then this is a good case, as they say. But I didn’t decide to take such a risk))) You can sit down for a long time))

And so, we arrived at the border late, at 23:30. All customs charms passed in 1.5 hours. And now, I'm in Uzbekistan! Only a few kilometers left to Tashkent. I was met by the brother of the friend with whom I stayed in 2017 and also stayed in 2019. The next day, I immediately went and bought a train ticket to my friends who lived 12 hours from Tashkent.

Tashkent is a very green city. And we have the expression "hot as in Tashkent." And it's really hot here, given that it was October 1st.
