I didn't like to live in Kiev because people's are rude there and not very friendly, they also are cold and not honest, Odessa was more easy to live to my opinion and more easy to earn money from that City, My Mother in Law helped me in my Odessa Business to pack goods, she helped to repair her flat in Kiev, and she helped also for Anna Pregnancy and others things, Ella Her Name worked in a Kiev hotel Khreschatyk and then stopped to work when Anna had Andrii to help her, Her Father is Oleg he work for the Government in Kiev.

In 2019 i got a daughter, Odri (lifetime Antarctica citizen) Born in October 2019, Kiev.

I also got a Correspondent journalist status in Russia and work as correspondent partner with a Moscow Based Media since 2017.

2022 - Due to Armed conflict in Ukraine i were asked to go abroad against my wish because it was i think safer and more confortable to stay in another oblast of Ukraine. I lost contact with them in the middle of 2022 because i was in need to go to Swizerland, then i were not able to contact them again and they were not in the house of my parents were they was staying in France.

I goes to Ukraine and were not able to find them (my familly), father of the Wife told that he doesn't know where she is and they are, Police of Ukraine persecute me without reasons, stole items from me, carrying unlawful search's in my residence, i asked Poland to give me a residence rights for 10 years due to ownership in a Polish Company but they decline without legal reasons, also Ukrainian state refused to issue me the Nationality of Ukraine without reason, due to political pressure of French Government (Due to to my Business in Paris 2014-2017), I send a request to Polish Ambassy in Kiev in 2021 but didn't got an approval for my Asylum Request. That Year in Hidden Way France revoked my Citizenship, that was said to me by official and financial sources partner of my Business's.

During my stay in Poland in 2022 between May to December i registered my Childs Birth Certificate there and got a PESEL for them, I time to time was able to get my Wife on Viber, she was agree to Join me there in Krakow where i rented a Small Flat, but then when she was in Need to Join me, she desapeared again from Viber and i were not able to join her by phone anymore, i just got the info that she took a Train from Poland to Kiev.

In 2023 - I were kidnapped in Palanca border point with Moldova by 3 Ukrainian Millitary's that fighted me, and i was in need to flee Ukraine where i continue to be persecuted for Foreign Political Motivations, French Ambassy in Kiev didn't support me. I goes to Kaliningrad in Russia where the FMS accepted to give me a temporary Asylum but rejected to take my application for a Political or Refugee Asylum, They also didn't issue me an original of asylum certificate and didn't provide me interpreting help for my asylum application (i found a professional interpreter) and didn't provide me informations about my asylum seeker rights, I am currenly in Russia but didn't get the status i asked for, i setup an activity in Russia but i cannot do plan for the future due to unclear situation, FMS didn't reject my asylum request but used the wrong one and do not facilitate me the life and company management in Russia as for now i cannot do nothing in Russia, they also refuse to take applications of my company for differents accreditations or licenses, i don't need a temporary asylum as my asylum is political and without Russian documents nobody wants to speak to me in any governmental structure.

I also write to the President of Russia but didn't got a clear answer, i just i got a letter from another FMS office told me that i were granted temporary Asylum, the issue is that i didn't got a Political Asylum and that the FMS refuse to accept documents to issue me a RVP that is a temporary residence permit, i qualify for this permit as i work as Journalist a Qualified Specialist, but they refused in the Kaliningrad FMS, Frunze 6 to talk to me, any reason is good for them not to take my application for this temporary permit to stay but according to the law i can apply for such a permit.

2023 Malagasy Nationality Request - I asked the Malagasy Nationality as my Mother and Grand Mother are Malagasy, i got no answer from the Malagasy Ambassy in Hungary and the Russian Federation. I also send the request to the Antananarivo Ministry of Justice. I will directly go to the responsibles persons when i will be on the Territory of Madagascar and reports the issues that i got from the foreign ambassadors, that even didn't answer calls or my several registered letters for this legitimate and documented request.

I will inform our readers in the future about next step's, if my Citizenship is revoked (after Covid19) i must theorically be able to get the Green Residence Permit for Stateless People's in Russia but this will be in the place where officers agree to talk to me and take applications.

Russian Customs

1. Spitting and touching wood

Many superstitious Russians believe in the evil eye (an evil look bringing bad luck) – particularly bringing the evil eye on any compliments or good events. So don’t be alarmed if, after complimenting a child, their parent spits three times over their left shoulder, or touch a wooden surface three times (or their head, if there isn’t any wood in sight) – provided the parent is in earshot, of course!  This custom is also done if someone tells you about some success of theirs (for instance, getting a new job), or if they’re going on holiday.

2. Don’t hand people money

It’s widely believed in Russia that money transmits energy from its owner (including negative energy); which can be transmitted if the money is placed directly from the hands of its previous owner to the new owner. Instead, if in a shop, you will be required to place your money into a tray, and likewise, your change will be placed there too for you to pick up, as the link of energy will be broken.  I didn’t really think about how I was handing over my money at the time, but after reading into this, I realised that that was how I always paid – from everything to a hot chocolate in Starbucks, to a pair of shoes!

3. Never give clocks, scarves or knives as presents

Clocks are seen as an omen of parting, scarves of tears and knives of enemies; and so none of these are seen as a good present to give someone.  If, however you don’t realise this fact and you do present one as a gift, expect to receive a coin from the recipient – take the coin, as it’s as if the recipient bought the gift, thus ending the bad omen.

4. Always give an odd number of flowers

Flowers are an extremely popular gift in Russia, and as a teacher, expect to be showered with bouquets of flowers from your students on the last day of school.  However, if you plan on giving someone else a bouquet of flowers, make sure you know the rules.  Firstly, you MUST make sure that you hand over an odd number of flowers, as an even number signifies funerals.  Some people also see yellow flowers representing funerals, so if you’re unsure, opt for another colour.

5. Remove your shoes

Something that a lot of cultures consider polite, you should ALWAYS take off your shoes when entering a Russian house – the streets are dirty in large cities; and you’ll probably find that your host will provide you with slippers anyway.

6. Keep your glass half full

As would be expected, Russians are impressive vodka drinkers, and can often assume that you’re as hard-core as them.  An empty glass in Russia will always be refilled, so if you feel like you’ve reached your limit, make sure your glass has some drink in it.  If you don’t feel like drinking, just say that your doctor told you not to drink – no one will question it.

7. Don’t place empty bottles on the table 

Continuing nicely from heavy vodka-drinking, when a bottle is empty, be sure to place it on the floor.  An empty bottle left on the table is seen as bad luck.

8. Respect Babushka

The ‘babushka’ (or grandma) has a lot of respect and power in Russia – there is no point in arguing with them, because they will win regardless.  Also (as is polite in the UK), give them your seat on the metro, tram or bus because if you don’t, they may start yelling at you, especially if you’re a guy.  Again, saying that, when I gave up my seat to an old lady on the metro, she moved along so I could sit back down – Russians may have a reputation for being cold, but the majority are actually quite nice!

9. Don’t step on the grass

A common downfall of tourists, make sure you don’t step on any grassy areas in public places – especially in major tourist attractions such as the Summer Gardens in St Petersburg – as the police are known to closely monitor this, and fine you on the spot.  You will however, find signs reminding you of this fact, but it’s just worth remembering!  Another tourist trap to avoid is to refrain from taking pictures inside the metro and shopping centres as it’s illegal – you may get away with it, but then again, you may find a policeman behind you, ready to hand you a fine.

10. Avoid overly-smiling in the streets

The stereotypical cold, unfriendly Russian is partly down to their stern expressions; and one way foreigners are instantly spotted is by smiling.  In Russia, there is a saying that “to smile with no reason, is a sign of a fool” – and a person smiling in the street can often be thought of as drunk or mentally ill.  So before heading off on your Slavic adventure, be sure to practise your best ‘serious Russian face’ (that’s what I did!) – it comes especially in handy when riding the metro – a pout and furrow of the brows, and people won’t look at you twice!
