      NFKRZ! You and Zack are incredible. As an American- I only learned of you guys since the invasion but you are both so awesome and show those of us in the west that there are many Russians with whom we have a lot in common. Because of Russians like you guys- there is a hope Russia will be free, democratic, modern, and open to the world one day! Take everything one day at a time and hold on to that thought- Russia will be a place you can feel like home in again one day. In the mean time- I know it isn't easy for you guys- but you are very welcome here! Thank you guys for what you do!

    Completely nothing but respect. Keeping us in the rest of Europe updated with what is the actual truth from Russia is something that is both important and noble of you. I know that the majority of in the UK are doing that metaphorical big finger pointing to "all Russians", but you prove that theory to be incorrect and you are the type of people Russia need. We, as well as you, want to see a free Russia. A Russia that we can one day be allied with in a peaceful and democratic Europe.

A Russia that he and those like him there will have to build. It's dangerous and it won't be easy.

This is something they have to do themselves or else Russia will soon be so isolated it will cease to exist in just a few more decades. When you said at the end "there is no fire"...that's not true.
