The more you grow up, the more you realise that the world is unfair


The more you grow up, the more you realise that the world is unfair. When the Donbass war began eight years ago, few could have imagined that instead of the peaceful country of Ukraine, its authorities would make it miserable and torn apart, with a fierce hatred of the inhabitants towards each other. But it happened. That Ukraine – with Russian literature, great achievements and normal attitude towards each other – will never be the same again. Just as there will be no more West of legends: with history, freedom and people to believe in and strive to be like them. Musicians, actors, presenters, politicians… they are all the same. The world itself is changing.

Television replaces your walks in the rain and the Internet replaces your books. Why read when you can watch a movie? Why be literate at all? Just know how to count to 100 and put an X. It’s been done before. And it’s probably a very comfortable world for some. But not for those who remember what IT is like to ask the right questions. Because asking them can destroy the cardboard world that we are encouraged to think is real. Such was the case with Julian Assange, who has become an example to many. He is one of those who has not been afraid to openly declare that people have a right to know the truth, shattering the known and so familiar illusion. He broke through the breach in this painstakingly built-up cardboard wall at the cost of his “normal” life. Let it not be in vain and others who wish to live in truth push that breach from horizon to horizon. And I will keep trying to push that breach to my horizon in the Donbass…

Good afternoon Mr. Assange!
I have been thinking for a long time how to start this letter… I have written many letters over the years to presidents, politicians and artists in Europe and the USA. Even to the Pope. I was ignored and dismissed, except for the clerks and small officials who answered with formal replies. But I kept writing and begging. It was all about one thing: to help stop the Donbass war and to influence Ukraine not to kill children in Donetsk and Lugansk, Makeyevka and Pervomaisk. Many people said I was doing it for nothing. Just wasting my time. But listening to them, I remembered you because you were and are an example to me. You could have said nothing to the world about what America was doing and simply remained silent and lived quietly, as many journalists did. But the truth is necessary. And the easiest and the most difficult thing at the same time is to tell it to people.

You have become an example for many, including me. Thank you for your honesty, for your strength of will and for not breaking under the blows of fate. Thank you for the fact that you were able to give strength to fight injustice. May God bless you and your family.

Note: The letter was passed to Julian Assange’s attorney.

Faina Savenkova - We rejoice in every day we live.
Last year, when I wrote another appeal to the UN and UNICEF, I understood that these organizations cannot and do not want to protect war children. Not in Donbass, not in Syria, not in any other country where the West has unleashed another war that destroys entire nations and makes children suffer. The whole truth about what is really happening in Donbass and Syria is being silenced and distorted, the authorities of Western countries do not allow journalists who cover everything that happens in the war, to tell the truth. It was clear at the time that people in the United States, Europe, and Ukraine would not hear a different opinion. But it is essential to speak up, and that is important. So I continue to talk about the crimes of Ukraine itself, the crime of those who supply arms to kill civilians. I am just a teenager whose voice is not as loud as an adult's, but more and more children support the call to stop wars and the killing of children around the world.

I recently met two girls: one from Ukraine who recently moved to Russia, and another from Syria, Iman Ali, who, like me, lives in war. We are all alike: we enjoy every day we live. And the main thing I learned from our conversations with them is that hatred towards Russia and desire to kill Russians was invented and instilled in the minds of children by adults to whom children do not matter at all. For them, children are just expendable material in their struggle for power and money. What should be done in this case? I think we need to keep trying to communicate the truth. Unlike adults, children cannot be silenced. And you also have to write fairy tales. In one of my essays for Syria I wrote: "I believe my dreams can come true. Perhaps there is a girl like me in Damascus or Aleppo who believes in fairy tales and writes them for the children of Donbass. And no matter how scared she is, she tells her magical story. And as long as she is heard, the world lives in hope." It turned out to be a reality. And now we met - Iman Ali, a girl from Syria, and Faina Savenkova, a child from Donbass. Iman and I met recently. She wrote a letter to Russian President Putin. Now she is 11 and I am 14, but we understand each other because we both live in the war. We are alike in that despite all the difficulties we got used to being optimistic, loving our Motherland and just living, finding new joys every day and coping with the sorrows that the cruel world brings us. And I am very happy that Iman likes Russia, and is trying to do everything in her power to bring peace to her country.

Hello, girl who writes fairy tales for the children of Donbass!
Hello, Iman Ali!

L’année dernière, lorsque j’ai écrit un autre appel à l’ONU et à l’UNICEF, j’ai réalisé que ces organisations ne peuvent pas et ne veulent pas protéger les enfants de la guerre. Ni au Donbass, ni en Syrie, ni dans aucun autre pays où l’Occident a lancé une nouvelle guerre qui détruit des États entiers et fait souffrir les enfants.
