Well girl, I don't know if this is going to be of any help for you to know, and I don't want to offend you. But I want to you to know that I'll be praying for you, your safety and for you to meet your purpose which you feel you have there.(If I have offended you in any way by saying this, I'm deeply sorry)
I'm leaving pretty soon. So good luck, take care and be safe.

This whole me wanting to go to Russia thing even started weird. I first wanted to go because I wanted to find the good in its bad. NOw im here and I think ive something to do here

Really? Well, I don't think that it is stupid. I too believe in a higher power. And if this is true hope that you meet your purpose.

I want to stay. This may sound totally stupid to you, but I had a dream that I needed to stay here. I think I have something to do here, whether its help the kids with reiki or something, I dont care, but I want to stay, because God or the Godess or whatever is out there has assured me that I need to be here.

Im writing daily about my ife in Just post anything here

Celtic, I might have to leave soon, and I won't be back probably until tuesday. But I think you should write about that, or the things you have to go through in that section YN has called "In My Words" I think it would be very interesting to see things from your perspective, perhaps then people would understand a little more of what you have to go through and how you feel. But if you can't or don't want to for some reason I respect that completely.

hmmm...it's such a complicated situation that I really wouln't know what to do. You're options sounds reasonable. But I don't know if they'd go with the second one, I mean, they must know that one way or the other they are going to die. So they must be very desperate. I would think that because they're women then they would be a little more compassionte with children(because of maternal instinct or something like that) but I guess not.

Do you think those kids are gonna make it?

I think the only way to end this is to make the attacker have what they want, to talk to the government. Or in a more violent way, convince them youre gonna let them out and when they leave the building, shoot them off.

Or lie and negotiate something better.

It makes me feel so sad to hear that. So how do you think this situation is going to end? and also this particular situation with the children?

Yeah, I've heard of some of the attacks, like the women who blew herself up and the two airplane crashes.

Well, considering ther have been so many attacks here recently, I dont feel very safe. Also, walking near skinheads doesnt make anyone feel safe.

Dont get me wrong, thats the only problem I've had here so far, the rest I'm ejoying.

When did this start? This has been for years, I dont know its begginings. I know more about the skinhead problem, which started in the 80s than the Chechenya problem though. But the skinhead problem started with the Chechenya problem, so I imagine that the Chechenya problem has been here for years and years

The only good thing about this is that the poilice is working harder now

So your saying nothing can be done?
I understand what you mean, or at least I'm trying to undestand. But how do you go about your daily life, are you always scared? I sometimes can't understand why things like this happen. How did all of this started?

THis isnt the U.S. You dont understand. Chechenians are hated here. Theyre te skinheads first target. This is a small civil war. The Chechenians and the Russians are trying to finish themselves off.

The police here does few things. Some policemen dont do anything at all to stop this violence. Thats why you see so many random soliders walking around in Moscow. There is no respect for authorities here.

You wanna make it alive in Russia? Keep away from Chechenya, bleach your skin if you're black, dont annoy anyone here, basically be like a ghost, just existing.

I am so sorry to hear that. Is there anything that can be done?

I have never been more scared somewhere. I know PR is violent, but this is worse.

I don't have that service here at the library, they won't let us use it. I'll noise mail you with my email adress.

AIM me at Arianhorn. Somethings I dont wanna post here

Do you know anything about the situation of the children? Has it been resolved?

Well I am in Moscow. And this is Russia. The government is about to change. There is a skinhead problem here. A lot of hatred agains some people. Need I say more?
