"The other day, our friend, who created covers for many of our books, signed himself with the pseudonym Pavel Korshunov, committed suicide. He left Russia a few years ago, fleeing repression and torture, ended up in Ukraine, unsuccessfully tried to get asylum there and was forced to flee to Poland after the start of the war. The realization of the beginning of a new legalization process and the previous negative experience turned out to be unbearable for him.
"There is a lot of bitterness and anger in us right now. We hate the state for forcing people into hiding under the threat of torture and prison. We hate the state because it breaks the psyche of our comrades. We hate the state because it has created borders that are not easy for many of us to cross. For the fact that within these boundaries we are obliged to spend our efforts on obtaining documents, instead of just living and creating. Because it starts a war, playing with our lives and destinies.
"Please live. Don't let the state finish us off."
