  1. You are an intelligent, articulate young person, and you give me hope that Russia can change. My one piece of advice for you is very simple: do what you must to stay alive, and keep the flame of hope burning. Reach out to people who are like-minded, create your own private spaces away from the watchful eye of the Kremlin. Watch out for each other and cover your tracks so that nobody investigating you will find anything solid. You need to stay alive. Don't be ashamed of the darkness; when you live under an oppressive regime, the shadows are your friends. Don't be ashamed not to take a public stand. Martyring yourself, especially at such a young age, might be noble but it won't change what Russia has become. What the world needs is more people like you, who are quietly gathering in the shadows, waiting for the right moment. It's better to survive to fight later than to die early and achieve nothing. You need to stay alive. When it comes to talking to the brainwashed and the ideological, start small. Don't confront them - don't say anything that could get you caught. Just ask innocent questions, to plant the seeds of doubt in their minds, to get them thinking. Don't tell them what to think, just let them start to doubt. Your work is to sow dissension and uncertainty among people who have never thought for themselves before. You don't need to teach them the truth - you just need them to doubt the lie. And above all, you need to stay alive.
