Hello!
It’s great that you had a warm and heartfelt New Year’s celebration and even received some inspiring predictions. As for celebrating in prison—well, you understand what that’s like. It has its own unique atmosphere. Celebrations should be spent at home with family and friends. Here, it’s purely symbolic—you can congratulate each other over a cup of tea, and that’s about it. Just another lost year of life.
But I still managed to put together a little Christmas tree, and it stayed on the table throughout the holiday season.
My appeal against the sentence still hasn’t been reviewed—it keeps getting postponed. Now it’s been moved to February 18 because the judge fell ill. But it’s not all in vain. I try to use every opportunity to stay connected to the community and express what I think—this time, in a short poetic form. Maybe you even saw it.
Here in the Moscow region, the weather has been abnormally warm. Almost the entire January had above-freezing temperatures, no snow, and right now, it’s raining outside. It feels more like spring or autumn. I prefer when the snow sparkles, the sun shines, and the frost bites, but it looks like winter has been canceled.
I imagine where you are, you could probably walk around in shorts and a t-shirt. Hopefully, you at least have some sunshine—here, it’s been cloudy for a long time, and clear days are rare. It’s a bit depressing, but maybe spring and summer will be nice. We’ll see.
Though, honestly, I’d rather not be watching them through a barred window.
Peace and freedom to the people of Russia! No to war!
