Here is the petition itself, it was signed by some 33.493 persons, but on the 4/3 they stopped receiving signatures, in light of the new drakonian russian laws... You can get up to 15 years of prison for disseminating 'fake news on russian troups', and Putin signed this into law on the 4/3 https://meduza.io/news/2022/03/04/putin-podpisal-zakon-o-nakazanii-za-feyki-o-deystviyah-rossiyskih-voennyh https://meduza.io/news/2022/03/04/putin-podpisal-zakon-o-nak...

Even worse, calls to stop the war or for more sanctions against Russia are now punishable too, retrospectively. As someone who signed the petition in question, I am very concerned about my safety.

  I keep reading and reading your comment and cannot shake the sadness. If you have any requests for me to do to help, I will take them. I'm reading the news and unsure what to do to stop this madness.

    If anyone needs a frontend developer with 9 years of experience in Angular, howl at my email in the profile. Assisted relocation to EU preferred. But first I have to secure my butt.

    Friend of mine left for Kyrgyzstan this morning. Together with his Ukrainian girlfriend. When the plane took off everyone onboard was clapping. Another acquaintance flew his Russian UX designer and family to Dubai this week. At the same time you have Putin defenders who will repeat whatever they hear on state TV. Even during personal conversations.

    Yes, for now. Georgia and Armenia are popular destinations at the moment, you can go there without a visa, stay for quite a while and even open a company relatively fast.

  Still thanks for signing it, you are a very brave person, my respect. On a practical note: I think that in Germany you could get political asylum. The constitution of the FRG mentions this as a basic right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asylum_in_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asylum_in_Germany Very sad times, very depressing. Wishing you all the best... This song by Shevchuk comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwqfNn9Ry8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwqfNn9Ry8
