I share what is highlighted to me — the advice I am given from above. So, I
explained to the guys in 2019: “I don’t know, but I was told to leave.”
Besides that, throughout that entire month, it was highlighted to me that
I should live in a house, specifically a castle. Like people lived in manors
and estates in the old days, and still do in England or France. I felt I must
live in a castle with no neighbors — just a castle, a field, and a river or lake.
And that I had to leave America. I bought a ticket and flew to Russia. From
there, everything led me to search for land where I could build this “castle.”
Mystically, a higher power led me to Karelia. When I called the “mystic-
old-man” then, he told me that the magi had done this — they brought
me there. He said it was a place of the magi, and so on. At that same time —
it was already September, near my birthday — since I was still young, only
turning 29, I started writing everywhere on social media: “Listen, I have
this feeling. I’ve come home. Everyone living abroad — come back home.
I believe the future is only in Russia. If some horror happens, the place where
nothing bad will occur for sure is Russia. So, come back to the motherland.”
Many acquaintances and friends began asking me:

— What happened?
— I don’t know, it’s just a gut feeling. You know I’ve been waiting my whole
life for something to happen in the world — I don’t know what, but something
terrible — and after that, the future will only be in Russia. Maybe that time
has come.

Everyone laughed — ha-ha, he-he. Some listened, some didn’t, depending
on how busy or overloaded they were. Then, in 2020, the pandemic arrived.
But it wasn’t just a pandemic; it was as if the entire atmosphere, the whole
bubble, the universe we lived in before — that was one reality, and we were
abruptly thrust into another. A reality of gloom, of darkness. Perhaps
the darkness first manifested as the pandemic, or perhaps the pandemic
pushed us into the darkness, but then everything else followed: the daze,
the nightmares for people, and so on. A dark time arrived. It was as if we
were already in a large dark cycle, and then a “cycle of darkness” within
that cycle began. A cycle within a cycle. It was terrifying.
