“For me it was a really difficult decision, but I had no life in my country because me, I am gay. After the Presidential election, I decided to move because this system of Lukashenko’s is not a democracy. They destroy people who are against them and they started to put people In prison. For me it was impossible to stay there. So I just left everything, and since 2021 « aout » I am here. I started in July with new papers—literally a new page in my life. I can tell you it’s not easy, like for everyone who arrives in France it’s not easy. But I chose freedom, I chose my life. I chose to be free.”
