Good day, everyone.
It has been a while since we wrote
here last time. These were very busy several months.
First, East and West represented by us had some difficulties
understanding each other, close cross-cultural relationships are not that easy,
on the other hand, it is definitely worth it. For the year, that I know Marco,
I understood much more on what European culture and style of living is about,
then with all my University studies and travels. So yes, we were slowly getting
to know each other better.
Another big thing distracting us from our initial plans was
the Revolution in Ukraine. It took all my attention and energy and so it is
only now that I decided to post something else in this blog.
It is amazing how big historic events change the lives of
people. We initially decided to start this blog to tell about the journey to
Russian Baikal Lake, that we planned this summer. We wanted to hitchhike the
whole way to get to know the country and people. Right now Marco left Donetsk
because after glorious Maidan the aggressive pro-Russian movement started here
and it appears to be not the safest place to be right now, especially for the
Europeans. He left when the first demonstrations were organized. Now they
already kill here and the real war is going on.
I understand that probably the whole world does not
understand what is going on here. If we need to be very honest, neither do us. Just
suddenly, we found ourselves in the middle of heavy propaganda and totally
taken by the severest information war I ever experienced. Some part of our
society became crazy for no evident reason. We believe Russian Special Forces
played the main role in creating this sudden fire in a very peaceful place. Big
geopolitics, fight for areas of influence, big players creating their puppets
who kill each other fooled by propaganda – this is what is happening in
Donetsk, Ukraine. Still my heart is with those, who want to keep our country
united. Whatever imperfect it is now, with all our resources and huge potential,
adopting European values we believe in and inspiring our politicians to be
honest and effective we can achieve excellent results quickly.
When we started the blog, we did not know that this theme
would be bigger than the relationship of two people. Right now East does not
MEET West, East fights West, this is exactly what is happening on this small
spot, where I chanced to be born – Donetsk. Fortunately for us as a couple we
found the way to unite, to make love not war. We appreciated each other’s value
and uniqueness, respected that, and embraced that in each other. The volume of
happiness it brought us was immense. I hope this experience will be a good
example for the whole city, country and the whole world, who is now standing on
the edge of the spheres of influence revision minimum or new world war as a
maximum. Alternatively, there could just happen big significant changes in the
minds of people all over the world. I pray for the last variant. Meanwhile I enjoy
my inner East and communicate daily with my beloved West, who is now in
Denmark, and join whom I dream the soonest.
Yours with love,
Natalika
