An Important Notice · 10:08pm Aug 10th, 2018
To those that are unaware of what's happening, Russia is quickly turning into crap. Even more so than it was before. Ruble is falling, taxes are rising, and the government does its best to make it seem like everything is okay and will be okay because we're strong and yadda yadda, all that propaganda.
The important thing is, at the end of August, new sanctions might be applied to Russia, this time Russian banks, from what I know. Link.
This means that the Russian economy might sink to a new low. What does it mean for me? Trouble getting things. I might lose my internet, and that means I won't be able to post anything until the situation is either resolved or I manage to move out of Russia, which is extremely problematic. I should've been more observant and saved up more money for such a thing since, well, there was no indication that the situation would become better.
So, by the end of August, I might disappear from everywhere and I'm not sure when I would return. It all depends on the situation, of course, but being optimistic now is not realistic.
I live in Siberia, which is pretty far away from Europe and other countries I'd be comfortable with moving to. I don't really know what to do, but it's pretty obvious I shouldn't just sit there and wait.
I don't know if I should ask, but if anyone has money to spare for me, you're welcome to talk to me on Discord (My account is Elu#4215). Or support me on Patreon.
In case things return to normal and I end up not needing any of the help (if any is offered), I'll try to return it as soon as possible. You don't have to give me any money anyway, but I will greatly appreciate if you do. Or, I suppose, I can do commissions, but only drawings. Contact me on Discord if you want something done. Of course, I won't draw just anything, I have my standards. In any case, feel free to talk to me and describe what you want, and I'll see what I can do.
This post has been a bit erratic. I'm not the one to panic, but things seem very uncertain, and I want to make sure that you understand the situation and what it might mean for me and my stories. And now you also know how you can help me, but once again, you don't necessarily have to help me. After all, I'm just a stranger you read stories of, and right now, I'm not in the worst place. Could be better, yes, but that's probably my fault for my lack of vision.
those sanctions are really fing stupid and any country thst is aaginst those sanctions just gets shunned by everyone even tho those sanctions are completely unjustified

From what I know, the current sanctions are justified because of what Russia did and does. To be honest, I'm not surprised. The government is crap.
I'd love if Russia could pull itself together and do something good for a change, but oh well.
imho i wouldn't say it's as bad as you say
)
regarding far away of Siberia, well it's not like distance matters much nowadays(unless you use trains, though for some that's a plus

from my view nothing bad had happened they should just be happy putin hasnt cut the oil and gas deleveries innto europe yet because he could do it at anytime and cripple almost all of europe in an instant

However, cutting the gas and oil would leave the Russian economy crumbling. Putin would not go there because our economy isn't that strong in the first place. Not to mention that Europe is switching to renewable power sources.

i whould if i could get rid off the sanctions and try to find a way to get rid of all those problems so that there can be a middleground for everyone instead of this crazy cold war like behaviour
fucking sanctions. maybe the government will try to help this time instead of fucking about in ukraine
That explains a lot, actually.
I don't have money to spare but I wish you the best.
