 For what would have been the 34th birthday:
"[...] if you read these lines, then most likely I died fighting against the Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

I am a member of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (BOAK), and I will still remain this after my death. [...]

I tried my best to contribute to the victory over dictatorship and to bring the social revolution closer. And I am proud of my comrades who fought and fight in Russia and beyond. [...]

I hug you all.
[...]
