FELLOW CITIZENS, RUSSIANS<\/h3>

THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL FROM THE ENEMIES OF RUSSIA. <\/span><\/p>

IT IS FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE THEIR COUNTRY BURIED UNDER ITS OWN RUINS.<\/span><\/p>

Every civil servant, every officer, every person paid from the state budget is saying the same thing to themselves today:<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI am only following orders.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u201cNothing depends on me.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u201cThose at the top know better what they are doing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

But this is precisely how states perish.<\/span><\/p>

Russia has turned into a machine that demands ever-new sacrifices\u2014both foreign and its own. They promised you greatness. They promised you denazification and the capture of Kyiv in three days. Instead came death notices, fear, denunciation, and an endless war. And with it, its new manifestations\u2014mobilization, drone attacks, and internet blocking. <\/span><\/p>

You see it.<\/span><\/p>

You see how the best people are leaving.<\/span><\/p>

How those who remain are learning to speak in whispers.<\/span><\/p>

How children are growing up in an environment of hatred and lies.<\/span><\/p>

How a country that gave the world outstanding philosophers, engineers, musicians, and scientists increasingly lives only on myths of its own greatness and threats.<\/span><\/p>

No regime lasts forever.<\/span><\/p>

However, after every regime, one question remains:<\/span><\/p>

What did ordinary people do when evil was being committed?<\/b><\/p>

One cannot hide indefinitely behind words like \u201cduty\u201d and \u201cservice.\u201d Nor justify oneself by the need to \u201cfeed the children.\u201d The state exists for its people. If the state demands that a person surrender their conscience, it begins to devour itself. <\/span><\/p>

We are not calling for loud gestures. They do not work. <\/span><\/p>

We know the price of fear.<\/span><\/p>

Yet every person still has a choice:<\/span><\/p>

not to send money for the war;<\/span><\/p>

not to be cruel where one can remain human;<\/span><\/p>

not to assist in crime more than is absolutely necessary;<\/span><\/p>

not to send a father, husband, or son for bloody \u201cearnings\u201d;<\/span><\/p>

not to believe that the entire nation thinks the same way.<\/span><\/p>

Even a small refusal to participate in a lie has its significance.<\/span><\/p>

One day this war will end. And then no one will be able to say: \u201cI didn’t know.\u201d Too many things are visible to everyone today.<\/span><\/p>

The future of Russia is not decided only at the front.<\/span><\/p>

It is being decided right now\u2014in offices, archives, courtrooms, government agencies, schools, and police stations.<\/span><\/p>

Fear turns people into subjects.<\/b><\/p>

Only conscience makes them human.<\/b><\/p>
