    Like before the war I used to receive an answer regarding my visa application in 2 weeks. Last time it took 2 months and the result was a decline, even though I worked for European companies ever since leaving Russia.

    Coupling this with Europe giving a platform for Valentina Matvienko (like the third top official in Russia), EU allowing Russian officials, oligarchs, propagandists, and their relatives to factually reside on its territory and the fascist tendencies in countries like Italy, Latvia, and, to some extent, Germany, I would prefer to keep a certain distance between the European project and myself.

    In other words, you are too pro-Russian to me and I wouldn’t feel safe there.

      prejudice in Europe??! noooo…

      as an American I’m constantly told that Europeans are far more civil and socially advanced. it’s impossible for Europe to be prejudiced!
