I will, of course, try to gain skills (for example, programming), but again it is difficult due to poor mental health
If you can learn how to code, you could maybe work as a remote programmer and make enough money to leave that hell hole.

Of course, it must be really hard to focus on that when you don’t feel you have basic life security even.

You know, what’s funny… even if I have money and skills, I won’t be able to leave here, because before the age of 30 (it used to be up to 27 years old) you need to have a military ID in order to (not only work officially, but also) from here leave, but even those who served in the army are still sent to the military registration and enlistment office at the border. And this is not surprising, because in this fucking country there is no justice, no respect for human rights, nothing… even if the military registration and enlistment office says that you can cross the border, often in Russian “jurisprudence” it turns out that these government bodies can redirect you back and forth ad infinitum, it’s just a mockery… If you don’t have a military ID or you do anyway, then by contacting government agencies, you attract attention (like criminals, no wonder, right?) to yourself; and during mobilization, it seems that only those over 60+ can leave the country
There is still uncertainty with mobilization, that is, the door to your apartment can be hidden at any moment and dragged to the military registration and enlistment office by force. It would be possible to hide from mobilization, but in order to hide from mobilization I need to hide in the forest or in the village, but firstly, I don’t have money, and in the village the products will be of lower quality (even if there are some shops there) , the shops will be unreliable and the prices will be high, other people who live in this village may hand me over to the police; there are no houses anywhere in the forest (nowhere to live), nowhere to buy food, maniacs may be encountered or eaten by bears;

Reading all this seems so unreal to me, since I’m in Sweden. It’s like you are living in hell, while I’m in heaven. Sweden has a lot of immigration and of course I understand that when I read stories such as yours.
I’m really sorry that you got born in that country. I was just lucky to get born in this one. It seems like most countries on the planet are pretty bad places. Western and Northern Europe seems to be the best countries.
Hang in there and dont give up hope, even though I know that is easy to say and hard to do.

At first I thought that “developing” countries were “so what? You can still somehow correct the situation and live”… but now I realized that there is simply a gigantic gap between poor and rich countries.
I used to have a bad opinion of some Western countries (not because of RuSSian propaganda, but because of my own thoughts/beliefs), but now I would live in any Western country, not a “developing” one.
Another thing that makes me “cry” is that the West, of course, has its own problems, but these are modern problems of modern society, problems of the 21st century.
But living in RuSSia, my faith in humanity was fading every day (and, which is beneficial for Pootin, toxicity and bitterness were growing) and I began to ask questions, such as: why do we need a state, lawyers, jurists and laws, when the fucking level life is as if you are the first person on the planet who doesn’t know (who doesn’t care) about technology, who doesn’t have clothes and the main thing for him is to find a piece of “bread” in order to survive.

I think you should try to get to Sweden if you can, or Norway which is even better (even richer). Life is good/safe here, even if you only have a basic job.

TG channel Идите лесом doesn’t report a lot of the cases when persons couldn’t leave. We both know how it’s not exactly an air-tight system on all of it’s levels. That’s the reason we’ve came to this and sometimes it works in our favor.
Since you are scarried to shits by the voenkom, I’d suggest to get all papers about your illnesses. One plus chance that can work in the end. And just don’t go anywhere if you are warned, stop at any logical step of that process. Have contacts to call volounteering lawyers at yourself at all times. Some even suggest to carry a signed AGS paper, or to make any woman your representative, but I’m yet to do so.
That fear had me by my balls too. I just got used to it. It’d probably be worse for them if they waste all that energy to pack me up and to delegate me with any role, or even a gun, when I’d know I wouldn’t survive it anyway. Once again, try to see the best in the worst. Be a fucking problem.
