The Child Author Ukraine Wants SILENCED - Faina Savenkova
I had the privilege to speak to Faina Savenkova, a 14-year-old resident of the Lugansk Republic who was placed on the Myrotvorets (Peacemaker) “hit list” of the Ukrainian government after she issued a call to the United Nations for an end to the war she has…

Take care of your land
Happy Thanksgiving
Today is a big holiday for my many friends in the USA - Thanksgiving. Many may say, "What do you get out of it? You live in another part of the world. What do you care about America?" What can I say to that? I am a teenager living in a long-suffering country where war has been going on for the ninth year, where people die every day, and where before I go to sleep I pray that we will all wake up the next day, see the sun and smile. Without fear that the war will come back with destruction and pain. Why am I specifically addressing Americans? Fourteen years ago I was born in a wonderful, good country and did not know what war and fascism were. I enjoyed life. My parents had a good job. Everything was good. But in a moment my country was plunged into darkness. Russians became enemies, Jews were hated, everyone who was against war and this hatred was declared an enemy. Donbass and Crimea have decided that this is no way to live. For this they have been trying to destroy us for eight years now, and no end to this war is in sight....
When I look at your great country, I see America repeating the mistakes of Ukraine. Monuments are torn down, some politicians call others fascists, poor people become poorer. There hasn't been a war in America for centuries. And I would like to ask you to remember on such an important date as Thanksgiving that war and poverty can come to your homeland unexpectedly because of the stupidity and greed of politicians. Do not start fires and wars in other countries and think that war will not come to you. May America always be a land of peace. A land of Mark Twain, Faulkner, Hemingway, Oliver Stone and Ozzy Osbourne, not a land of fascism and hatred against each other. Take care of your country that you have worked so hard for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sometimes, on your way you meet people who are very important to you. No, you don't look for them, they come by themselves and help you grow up and remain a decent person in a difficult time when the world is going crazy. I am very glad that I met Igor Lopatenok on my way Igor Lopatenok is an American producer, director, and screenwriter.

Faina Savenkova – Letter to Donald Trump

Greetings, Mr. Trump!
I have been meaning to write to you for a long time. Today is Thanksgiving. And as a girl living in the war-ravaged Donbass, I want to ask you to help my country stop this war. I have written a lot about how, if you were president of the United States, there would not be this carnage. And it’s not because you love Russia or Donbass so much. It’s just that I can see that you do everything you can to make sure that there is some kind of peace between Russia and the United States and that a nuclear war doesn’t break out.
And I stand by my every word. Many people in Donbass say I look like Samantha Smith. That girl once tried to show the world that Russia and America could be friends. I fight for a peaceful future for the children of Donbass and I condemn the fact that your country is supplying weapons to Ukraine. And just like her, I don’t want the world to sink into darkness.
Take care of your country, Mr. Trump, and don’t repeat the mistakes of other politicians. I recently talked to an American politician and asked him why Mr. Biden doesn’t keep his promises. Why is he making sure that Americans live poorly and that our war does not end? I was told, “When you’re in America, you can ask him yourself.” Unfortunately, I am unlikely to ever come to the United States, but I would ask you to ask him why he is doing this. After all, the enormous money that is made from the war does not bring happiness, and the lives of the dead cannot be recovered.
Mr. Trump, Happy Thanksgiving! May God help you save both yours and our country from war and death.https://www.donbass-insider.com/2022/11/25/faina-savenkova-letter-to-donald-trump/

he new print issue of Regional Russia with my interview is out today.
I met Olga Vostryakova, the editor-in-chief of Regional Russia, two years ago. The magazine printed my stories and essays in a special issue for Victory Day. The first time I received an honorarium for my work at that difficult time, and then the long-awaited magazines came in the mail. When I opened the parcel, I sat for another three hours opening and closing the magazine, unable to tear myself away from it 😊 Two years have passed. I am an author at Regional Russia, but both then and now I believe that this magazine is one of the best in terms of content and design quality. When I return from Moscow, I will definitely post our interview. Thanks to Olga Vostryakova and everyone involved in the publication of this magazine ☺️
