Cyprus                      Two Years Later            24 September 2024


   Exactly two years ago, I left my home in Ozyory due to persecution by
   the Russian police.  Since then, I have lived in various cities and
   countries.  It all began in a tiny village in Russia, where I hid
   from the police for six months.  I also spent a week at a friend's
   house just before fleeing, to buy a phone with cash and get a SIM
   card registered under someone else's name.  All of this was done in
   the interest of secrecy, as I was already wanted at the time and
   needed to ensure the police did not know my exact whereabouts.

   Afterwards, I moved to Georgia, where I spent six months in Tbilisi
   and another six months in Kutaisi.  From Georgia, I relocated to
   Germany, living in the southern part of Wolfen for half a year, and
   the northern part for another half.  Currently, I'm on a business
   trip in Cyprus and will likely move here to live and work at the
   start of next year.  Yes, I no longer have a "home" - the very
   concept of it has been lost to me forever.  Yet with every move, I am
   getting closer to understanding where I enjoy living the most.
