Hi! :)
A month and a half was enough time to start missing you. I really regretted using up my last response form in Kostroma right away. But since you managed to track me down 200 miles from my previous location—and even mastered a new electronic mail delivery service in the process—it means my arrival here has already been documented in open sources.
Formally, Melekhovо remains a colony for first-time offenders, though when I first arrived at Vladimir’s pre-trial detention center, they were predicting I’d be sent to a camp for repeat offenders. I got here just eight days after leaving Kostroma—on Friday, October 25th. Instead of the planned one-week quarantine, I ended up chilling there for two; since November 8th, I’ve been in strict conditions. «FSIN-letter» doesn’t work here yet, only «Zona Telecom.» No idea which is cheaper; in Moscow’s pre-trial detention centers, letters through both services were expensive.
The judicial practice for so-called extremist cases is just as dismal here. Removal from the article-based preventive registry is also impossible (at least they were upfront about it right away—in Kostroma region, they lied to me about it for three years). I’m mentally prepared to serve the full two years until the final bell rings—D-Day is December 22, 2026.
Did you manage to go to Georgia for Jared Leto’s concert? :) I hope the protesters have already carried Mishako out of prison on their shoulders. We stood up to watch those epic shots of riot police being blasted with a fireworks launcher.
Since the start of what they call the «special operation,» no fewer than a million Russians have moved to Georgia permanently, including some big names. They are the ones who should play a key role now. Fortunately, Abkhazia is also weakened by public outrage at the moment.
No need to get distracted by Syria and South Korea; events there won’t affect the final outcome for our northern neighbor—a bleak and inglorious ending...
I’ve drafted my cassation appeal and will send it to the capital as soon as I receive the original appellate ruling from Kostroma.
And while I’d like to be in solidarity with the Oxford Dictionary’s choice for Word of the Year, I feel like I still haven’t reached my usual quota of brain-melting materials this year. I haven’t even found out who won the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize yet—moving messed up my routine...

Say hi to Charles again! Take care!
