As many of you already know, we've been working with the Maya team to list LEO on the Maya Protocol. Maya is a friendly fork of Thorchain and is a cross-chain, decentralized exchange.

This DEX protocol ecosystem is in the early stages of flourishing. They've released a ton of exciting updates with many more on the way. We believe Thorchain, Maya and other adjacent protocols are going to begin eating market share from the largest Centralized Exchanges in crypto.

Decentralized Exchanges have long-been a mission for me. I want to see LEO, HIVE, HBD and other Hive-based assets proliferate on DEXes and gain adoption.

I believe DEXes - especially L1, cross-chain DEXes - are the future of crypto trading.

Right now, the vast majority of crypto is still moved across centralized exchanges. You deposit into a custodial account and then your assets are at risk until you convert them and withdraw.

Most of us have experience doing all of this. As Hivers, many of us also remember how CEXes can be leveraged against a decentralized community.

To me, this poses a significant existential threat. I believe that every major crypto project needs to have a presence on L1 DEXes.

The Need for HIVE on DEXes

With LEO, LeoDex, our listing on Maya and our brand new Hive Aggregation Technology, we are proud to steward a march toward a decentralized future of trading for the Hive ecosystem.

LeoDex utilizes aggregation technology alongside the NEW LEO token listing on Maya in order to enable cross-chain, L1 swaps of NATIVE HIVE.

🟢 No Wrapped tokens
🟢 No KYC
🟢 Full Self-Custody
🟢 Incredibly Fast
🟢 Efficiently Priced

You simply connect your Web3 wallet and can instantly start swapping.

Right now, nearly 100% of all HIVE traders are trading on Centralized Exchanges like Binance. Why? Because there are literally no DEX listings for HIVE.

With LEO Listed in 2 critical places, we have the ability to integrate HIVE swaps into LeoDex and unleash L1 HIVE trading through the Hive Aggregation Technology we built.

The Need for LeoDex on Maya

We've taken a deep look at the exchange interfaces currently on Maya. There are some that have some cool features and UI/UX, but there is a severe lack of an intuitive, clean and feature-rich user experience.

That is where the INLEO Team can shine. We have so much experience in building UIs for the community, by the community.

An incredible opportunity has presented itself to simultaneously:

1. Bring HIVE & LEO to the world of Cross-Chain DEXes
2. Build a UI/UX for the Maya community that is superior to anything they've ever seen

Introducing LeoDex | Multi-Chain Swap Interface

LeoDex is a multi-chain swapping interface. It is powered by Maya Protocol and our Hive Aggregation Technology (HAT).

PLEASE NOTE We are launching LeoDex into OPEN BETA. We recommend using small amounts and being cautious with the UI. We've spent the past week running extensive tests and fixes but there can always be bugs with brand new technology.

At launch, LeoDex V1 offers a core feature set. There are many more features that will be rolled out with time but the initial phase of LeoDex offers a few game-changing features to the LEO, HIVE and Maya Communities:

1. L1 Swaps, Powered by Maya Protocol
2. L1 Liquidity Pools, Powered by Maya Protocol
3. Arbitrum Gas Faucet, Powered by LEO
4. HIVE Aggregation Tecnhnology, Powered by LEO
5. Multi-Chain Wallet UI
6. Multiple Wallet Options
7. Historical Swap UI
8. Affiliate Fees That Buy LEO + CACAO and Perma-Pool

This post will serve as an introduction to this initial feature-set. Subsequent posts will dive deeper into the nuances and how-to's of each. Let's dive in.

L1 Swaps, Powered by Maya Protocol

The core feature of an L1 Cross-Chain DEX is the ability to swap assets natively across blockchains. LeoDex is powered by Maya Protocol and with that connection, proudly offers these cryptos for L1, Native DEX Trading:

1. BTC
2. DASH
3. ETH
4. USDC
5. USDT
6. WSTETH
7. KUJI
8. USK
9. RUNE
10. CACAO
11. LEO
12. HIVE

*More on HIVE & LEO's integration below.

L1 Liquidity Pools, Powered by Maya Protocol

Maya Protocol runs based on AMM (Automated Market Maker) technology. This means that Liquidity Pools power the swaps.

LeoDex is launching with a barebones UI for depositing and managing L1 liquidity. This UI was not intended to be in the original feature set, but we added it as a little "Bonus" since we had some extra time for the v109 integration by Maya's Team.

This will allow users to deposit and manage L1 Liquidity.

This UI will improve greatly in the coming days. We wanted it live primarily for the launch of the LEO Pool.

To find tutorials on How to Deposit, check out the new LeoDex Docs Tutorial Section.

Arbitrum Gas Faucet, Powered by LEO

In the process of building our Hive Aggregation Technology (HAT), we realized a signifcant hurdle for the average Hive user of an L1 DEX: Gas.

LEO operates on Arbitrum and Arbitrum has gas fees. The gas fees are super cheap on Arbitrum. In fact, it is known as one of the cheapest EVM blockchains. Fees on transactions are typically $0.01 or less.

This makes our HIVE Aggregator extremely powerful. Since the fees are cheap, small swaps are possible. You could trade as little as $15 across this L1 aggregator with ease and cheap fees.

That being said, you still need just a few pennies of Arbitrum Gas (Arbi ETH) in your wallet to make these L1 swaps.

So we went to the drawing board to think of a way to faciliate the acquisition of gas for the typical Hiver. Guess what we came up with?

The Arbitrum Gas Faucet. You simply click two buttons and using your Hive Keychain Wallet, you send 10 LEO and get $0.75 worth of Arbi ETH gas autonomously sent to your wallet.

This side-steps the need for Hivers to interact with Arbitrum outside of clicking a few buttons. It was a massive roadblock to usability for the average Hiver who may not be familiar with Arbitrum and we just completely removed it.

You'll notice the "Arbitrum Gas Faucet" button light up on the LEO and the HIVE swap screens of LeoDex. Clicking it will get you gas for the Arbitrum blockchain. If you already have gas, then you don't need to use it.

HIVE Aggregation Tecnhnology, Powered by LEO

HAT allows any Hive-based assets to be swapped with L1 native assets on Maya Protocol. This is an incredible achievement for us. Many of you know that we have experimented with bringing HIVE & HBD to Decentralized Exchanges.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post - this has been a huge mission for me. I believe in the future of decentralizing crypto trading and bringing HIVE & HBD into this future.

The issue is that wrapped assets have a lot of headaches and roadblocks. I always wanted to get down to the L1 Native asset level with HIVE.

HAT makes this possible. Now you can swap L1 Native HIVE (and soon, other Hive-based assets) seamlessly with anything listed on Maya.

Want to swap L1 Native BTC for HIVE? Now you can do it with a few clicks via https://leodex.io.

This integration is an absolute game-changer for the LEO and HIVE ecosystems.

All the swaps are routed through LEO's Maya Protocol Liquidity pool. This swap volume will increase the yield for LPs from swap fees and thus, lead to deeper liquidity.

As this liquidity grows, larger and larger swaps will be possible. Maya is also working on Streaming Swaps.

Have you dreamed of a future where some BTC whale could come in and swap 10 BTC for 1.7M+ HIVE in a single transaction?

This future is now possible with LeoDex + Maya's upcoming Streaming Swap technology.

As of right now, we have 1 HIVE route enabled and we are quickly testing it and adding more routes. If you use this route, please understand that it is in Open Beta. We are still refining it.

1. Test with small amounts
2. We will be adding more routes (i.e. swapping into HIVE) once the 1st route is refined with 100% uptime

Shortly after that, we'll work on HBD swaps. We've also spoken to the Splinterlands Team and are going to build DEC & SPS swaps into LeoDex.

With LeoDex.io, a multi-chain future for HIVE-based Assets is now possible.

Multi-Chain Wallet UI

We built a super lightweight yet feature-rich wallet client for LeoDex. When you tap on your logged in wallet at the top right ,you can see all the chains that you are connected with and your various balances within the connected wallets.

Logging in with a Keystore, you'll see this in your wallet page.

The globe icon at the bottom left of each wallet will take you to the block explorer page for your wallet.

The QR code is the QR code for your wallet - you can use it to receive assets on that chain.

The copy icon allows you to copy your connected wallet address.

Clicking on the arrow icon next to any asset in this wallet client will open this window, which allows you to send assets. IMPORTANT make sure you fill the recipient address properly if you use this UI to send assets. Failing to do so will result in a loss of funds. This is a self-custodial crypto wallet interface. You are responsible for what happens when you send, swap or pool funds with the various connected blockchains.

A good reminder for all of LeoDex that Nifty gave in the Threadcast today: this is a self-custody future. LeoDex does not hold assets. You do not deposit into LeoDex. You connect your self-custody wallet. This means that anything that happens is up to you. LeoDex is simply there to connect you to Maya Protocol.

Multiple Wallet Options

At launch, there is Keystore and Hive Keychain as login options. Connecting with Keystore will connect you to all the checked networks.

If you check "Hive" it will also prompt you to enter your hive username after clicking connect wallet.

This will log you into LeoDex using Keystore + Hive Keychain with whatever Hive username you entered.

If you try to do an action that requires a HIVE sign in, but you haven't yet signed in with Hive - then we added this prompt that tells you to sign in with Hive Keychain. Clicking it will allow you to enter your username and then it will sign you in with Keychain.

We are sprinting right now to add XDEFI as a login option to LeoDex as well, but Keystore is the most utilized wallet client for Maya Protocol users, so we prioritized it for the launch day of LeoDex.

We hope to have XDeFi integrated by next week.

Historical Swap UI

Clicking the history button at the top right will show you your most recent transactions on Maya Protocol. If you click on any of these transactions, it will populate in the "Transaction Tracker" on the homepage.

From this tracker, you can view important info related your transaction including the TX Hash as well as the "View in Explorer" link to see it on the Maya Block Explorer.

Affiliate Fees That Buy LEO + CACAO and Perma-Pool

Trades on Maya Protocol using LeoDex generate affiliate fees for the LeoDex UI.

These affiliate fees are collected by LeoDex as CACAO tokens. LeoDex then autonomously buys LEO with 50% of the fee earnings. The other 50% remains as CACAO. It pairs the two tokens together and then Permanently Pools (Perma-Pools) them into the LEO-CACAO liquidity pool on Maya.

This is vital as the more trading volume that happens through LeoDex's interface, the more affiliate revenue will be earned which will lead to more organic buying on the LEO token and perma pooling into this LP.

This liquidity is vital for the Hive Aggregator to have efficient swaps. The flywheel starts with affiliate revenue. As this affiliate revenue grows, the liquidity will deepen. More liquidity leads to more swaps which leads to more affiliate revenue which is then deployed back into the LEO-CACAO Pool 🔂.

Track LeoDex's Progress

Mayascan has an Interface Wars section. LeoDex now prominently sits on the list. It's time to start using LeoDex for your L1 swaps. As swaps occur, the swap volume of LeoDex will grow and our ranking on this list will climb.

Our goal is to break into the top #3 DEX Interfaces for Maya Protocol.

With HIVE & LEO Swaps on the way once v109 is adopted, things are about to get wild.

In the meantime, go explore LeoDex and prepare for the ability to:

1. Add Liquidity to Maya's LEO-CACAO Liquidity Pool
2. Swap any L1 asset with LEO
3. Swap and L1 asset with HIVE

https://leodex.io is now live in OPEN BETA!

Again, test with small amounts. We are looking for rapid feedback, iteration and fixes in these early days. Your feedback is extremely vital to refine the experience of LeoDex and make it the best UI for L1 swaps on the Maya Protocol and Hive.

 

The solution to the “Havana syndrome”. How the GRU cripples American diplomats with secret weapons

casbt1osint.blogspot.com

View Original

Meanwhile, more and more Americans are reporting strange health incidents. In the summer of 2017, several victims appear in Guangzhou at once: some of them say they heard a strange high-pitched sound, unlike anything they had ever heard before. Victims also complained of dizziness, brain fog, headaches, short-term memory loss, insomnia and nausea. One victim reported that she would suddenly lose her balance and sometimes feel a sharp pressure in her ears. As a result, the US State Department had to evacuate more than ten employees from Guangzhou.

There were also similar incidents in Beijing in 2017. At least one American government employee, an employee of the Department of Commerce, reported strange sounds and sudden health problems - nausea, loss of balance, ear pain.

Information about the Chinese incidents is clearly incomplete, there may be more cases than we know today, just as there could be more trips by GRU employees, so it is difficult to make any comparisons between specific episodes and trips of 29155 members to China. Perhaps, thanks to this investigation, other victims will tell their stories, and this will allow us to establish the full picture.

Tbilisi, 2021. Identification of Albert Averyanov

Joy (we'll call her that) moved from the USA to Georgia in February 2020 with her diplomat husband and son. They settled in Tbilisi in a house on a quiet street not far from the embassy. Joy, a doctor by training, worked in a private American clinic.

On October 7, 2021, she was waiting for her son to return from school and washing clothes on the second floor. When she was taking clothes out of the washing machine, turning to the window, she suddenly felt something similar to a powerful sound wave that pierced her head to the left, from the side of the window, filled her with an all-consuming noise and responded with a terrible headache. Joy left the room and went into the bathroom, where the sound seemed to disappear from her head and she vomited. She called her husband, who soon arrived accompanied by security officers at the embassy.

While waiting for her husband, Joy looked outside, noticed a strange car that she had never seen on this street before, and took a photograph of it. Near the car she saw a tall, fair-haired man with a thin build. There was a girl next to him, they were very well dressed, as if they were going to a wedding or a play. When the man saw Joy taking photos of him, he quickly ducked into the car.

From that day until now, Joy has been experiencing severe migraines every day (which she has never had before). Her consciousness is foggy, it is difficult for her to find steps when she goes down the stairs, coordination of movements has been disrupted, and problems with the vestibular system have begun. She often has ringing in her ears and has developed hearing problems. The dizziness was so severe that sometimes it was even difficult for her to turn over in bed. Her hearing has become hypersensitive, and even the sound of the air conditioner sounds to her like the roar of an airplane engine.

At Johns Hopkins University, Joy was diagnosed, later confirmed at the University of Los Angeles: bilateral semicircular canal dehiscence, a very rare disease . It could be congenital, but then the disease would have manifested itself a long time ago, or it could be the result of an injury, but Joy had no injuries. She had to have surgery and have metal plates inserted on both sides of her skull. This alleviated the symptoms, but did not eliminate them completely.

American investigators were unable to determine what caused the incident. However, as The Insider found out, by a strange coincidence, GRU officers from unit 29155 were in Georgia at that moment.

On September 30, 2021, General Andrei Averyanov, head of military unit 29155, went on a work trip. At the same time, his son Albert Averyanov, whom his father took into his unit several years ago, also flew out of Moscow. Albert, despite his young age (then he was 21 years old), had already gained serious experience: while still a student at Moscow State University, in 2017–2018 he unofficially “trained” in Geneva under the supervision of the above-mentioned Yegor Gordienko, who was then working in Geneva under the cover of the second Trade Representative of Russia at the WTO. After this, Albert became an active member of the group (as can be seen from his calls and fellow travelers), although, unlike the others, he continues to lead a completely public lifestyle, flies abroad under his real name, plays football with friends for the Evian team ( 29 goals per year) . 60 matches), takes his girlfriend Nastya for a ride in his Mercedes-Benz ML/GLE - hardly any of his classmates knew about his secret life. At the time of the events described, Albert had just completed his master’s degree at the Faculty of Global Processes at Moscow State University (the topic of his thesis was “Formation and institutionalization of the global level of management of migration processes”).

Я создал эту учетную запись специально для написания этой темы, но так и не смог ее собрать.

Но сейчас может быть объявлена ​​мобилизация, не верьте Шойгу. И весенний призыв уже начался.

Это ложь, что призывники не пойдут на войну. Только формально. Призывников часто заставляют подписывать контракты. Рядом со мной служили пара ребят с тренировки. Не дай Бог, чтобы это случилось с вашими друзьями или родственниками.

Мало кто знает, как спастись. И что делать дальше. Я совершил много ошибок и потратил много времени, пока выходил из игры. Да, есть проект «Прогулка по лесу», и есть похожие. И спасибо им большое, они мне тоже помогли, но...

...но когда ты в бегах, ты никому не доверяешь. И на этом недоверии я тоже потерял много времени. Но истории тех, кому это удалось, обнадеживали. Надеюсь, мой опыт будет полезен кому-то еще.

И еще: в войне с Интернетом есть напряженность. В ЛНР, например, мобильный интернет просто отключен. На юге лучше, но чаще всего у солдата нет возможности погуглить или что-то узнать.

Так. Всего через две недели после военкомата я оказался в ЛНР. Мы жили в военном лагере в лесу, недалеко от границы с Россией. Оттуда их отправили на передовую, затем дали неделю отдыха в том же лагере. Первый раз я пытался оттуда сбежать. Это была ошибка.

Покинуть лагерь было легко. Нас охраняла военная полиция, но после линии фронта у нас отобрали оружие, но неофициально разрешили сходить в ближайшее село: купить еды, питья, даже одежды. В этом магазине было все.

Поэтому я прошел мимо контрольно-пропускного пункта в магазин, а затем помчался к местной семье, которую я знал, чтобы они помогли мне спрятаться и купить нормальную одежду. Местные жители также помогли мне нанять водителя, и я помчался к границе.

В целом у местных жителей другое отношение, и они могут уступить. Если бы у меня не было друзей, я бы с несколько большим риском нарваться на патруль сам поехал бы в ближайший город за гражданской одеждой.

О границе. Нет, это не ошибка. ЛНР и ДНР формально вошли в состав России, но граница между ними и РФ является государственной, согласно пограничному закону. Никаких изменений в закон не вносилось, а с началом боевых действий граница только УКРЕПЛЯЛАСЬ!

Торн, дроны летают, пограничники стреляют на поражение. Через лес границу не пересечь. Ну или я не умею и никому не советую рисковать. На КПП все как на настоящей границе: выходим из машины, идем к пограничникам, предъявляем документы... Их проверяют пограничники и ФСБ.

Замаскированного солдата легко опознать. Грязное и вонючее, за день не отмыть. Отличить меня от местных было еще проще, даже диалект был другой. И вообще, не пытайтесь обмануть ФСБ. Документы военнослужащих ЕСТЬ В БАЗЕ ДАННЫХ Пограничной службы. Это значит, что легально туда поехать невозможно.

Меня задержали, выгнали и перевели в комендатуру. Там его зарегистрировали как уклониста, заперли в яме, а затем бросили в подвал.

Мне невероятно повезло. Если бы я наотрез отказался служить вообще, меня могли бы убить. Я знал об этом. Если бы он согласился вернуться в часть, его бы убили на передовой, и ему не дали бы уйти. Я интуитивно выбрал третье – отказ от службы в конкретном подразделении.

Это сработало настолько чертовски хорошо, что я до сих пор корю себя за то, что не настоял на этом сразу. Проведя неделю в подвале вместе с другими такими же уклонистами, нас всех отправили на переформировку в Херсонскую область...

Но сначала меня отвезли в Воронеж, где посадили в самолеты до Ростова, а оттуда в Крым, где разрешили отдохнуть. Ну это логистика.

Но Крым не является северо-западной военной зоной. И границы с шипом там нет. Это лучшее место для побега

Мы все были из подвала. В Крыму нас должны были немного накормить, подлечить и дать отдохнуть. Там была нормальная воинская часть: плац, казарма, столовая. А не лесные землянки. И самое главное, вернули личные документы. В общем, я там помылся, отдохнул денек и попробовал.

Там было еще проще. Показываешь военному на блокпосту, что ты не срочник и уходишь. Все пошли в магазин, но я ушла на 10 минут и больше меня не видели. Я вызвала такси и в Симферополе снова переоделась в гражданское прямо в магазине. И тогда он пошел еще дальше.

Как выбраться из Крыма. Я знал как минимум одну историю о том, как парня задержали на мосту в СОЧ. В гражданской одежде. В общем, я не стал рисковать и поискал другой выход. Плюс я волновалась — вдруг уже начали искать.

Решение я нашел через несколько дней. Самый безопасный способ покинуть Крым сегодня — поездом из Феодосии в Анапу. Да, это обычный поезд, для билетов не нужен паспорт, и на мосту нет проверки безопасности. Самый простой и надежный способ.

Теперь я знаю истории, как другие спокойно уезжали поездом по внутреннему паспорту. Но вы знаете, что. Я все равно рекомендую поезд. Облегчать работу следователям не нужно.

Почему не машина? На мосту всех пассажиров автобусов и машин просят выйти, обыскивают и состыковывают через базу.

Так. 4 часа на поезде – и я в Анапе. Я знаю, что многие скрылись на территории России. Мне это кажется более опасным, чем выезд из страны. Как? Это оказалось проще, чем кажется.

Итак... Смоленск! Блаблакар. В общем, я старался нигде не показывать свой паспорт. В Смоленске я уже заказал трансфер в аэропорт Минска. Вышло менее 10 тысяч рублей. У машины белорусские номера, поэтому на границе с Беларусью мой паспорт даже не посмотрели.

После теракта в Крокусе безопасность здесь можно было усилить. Перед поездкой читаю в тележке местные чаты, где жители делятся информацией о том, что есть на границе. Можно обойти все КПП в объезд – но за это берут около 15 тысяч дополнительно.

В Минске покупайте билет на самолет по внутреннему паспорту. ЭТО ВАЖНО! Сделать это можно заранее, но только при наличии внутреннего паспорта. Всем военным, выезжающим за границу, теперь запрещен выезд за границу. Так что вариант только один: Ереван.

Да, важно, чтобы полет был ПРЯМЫМ. Не стоит испытывать удачу и проходить таможню еще раз в Москве. На таможне ни при каких обстоятельствах нельзя признаваться, что с вами находится иностранец.

Еще немаловажно: лучше почистить телефон от фотографий с войны и сразу избавиться от военного. После «Крокуса» любой полицейский патруль может потребовать от вас показать телефон. Почему это необходимо?

Я потерял много времени, пытаясь сбежать в ЛНР. Я мог бы сразу написать рапорт о переводе в другую часть, да еще и получить пизду, но сбежал гораздо раньше.

Я потерял много времени, не зная, как покинуть Крым. Я не знал, ищут они меня или нет. И я потерял много нервов, не зная, нужен я или нет. Поисковая проверка на сайте МВД, база данных открыта.

Вообще обычно у военнослужащего в СОЦ есть 10 дней до начала обыска, потом еще 2 месяца МИНИМУМ до возбуждения уголовного дела и начала обыска. Я тоже этого не знал.

Искать будут не рядовые менты, а военный следственный комитет и прокуратура. Они ленивы и им плевать. Вы не маньяк-убийца и не шпион. Просто, по возможности, не пользуйтесь банковскими картами, смените телефон и симку, этого достаточно.

От побега до отъезда у меня прошло 3 месяца. Это был ненужный риск; лучше было уйти немедленно. Если близкий вам человек хочет уйти оттуда, но не знает как, уговорите его не медлить. Описанный выше метод работает, но все быстро меняется, кто знает, как скоро эти дыры закроются.

Я сейчас нахожусь в другой стране, пытаюсь устроиться здесь, ищу работу, жилье. Как разберусь, напишу гайд по этому поводу. А пока я здесь анонимно.

Если будут вопросы, отвечу. Если вы хотите мне помочь, я буду благодарен. Честно говоря, вам нужна помощь, особенно поначалу. Но я не могу показать карту России. И единственный способ поддержать это: BTC

Escaping Military Conscription: A Personal Account and Guide

 I created this account specifically to write this thread, but I still couldn’t get it together. But now mobilization may be announced, don’t believe Shoigu. And the spring conscription has already started.

It is a lie that conscripts will not go to war. Only formally. Conscripts are often forced to sign contracts. A couple of guys from training served next to me. God forbid this happens to your friends or relatives.

Few people know how to escape. And what to do next. I made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of time while I got out. Yes, there is a project called Walk through the Forest, and there are others that are similar. And thank them very much, they helped me too, but...

... but when you're on the run you don't trust anyone. And I lost a lot of time on this mistrust too. But the stories of those who succeeded were encouraging. I hope my experience will be useful to someone else.

And one more thing: there is tension in the war with the Internet. In the LPR, for example, mobile Internet is simply turned off. It’s better in the south, but more often than not a soldier doesn’t have the opportunity to Google or find out anything.

So. Just two weeks after the military registration and enlistment office I found myself in the LPR. We lived in a military camp in the forest, not far from the border with Russia. From there they were sent to the front line, then given a week to rest in the same camp. The first time I tried to escape from there. It was a mistake.

It was easy to leave the camp itself. The military police guarded us, but after the front line they took away our weapons, but unofficially allowed us to go to the nearest village: buy food, drink, even clothes. That store had everything.

So I walked past the checkpoint to the store, and then rushed to a local family I knew so they could help me hide and buy normal clothes. The locals also helped me hire a driver, and I rushed to the border.

In general, local residents have different attitudes, and they may give in. If I didn’t have friends, I would, with a slightly greater risk of running into a patrol, go to the nearest city to buy civilian clothes myself.

About the border. No, this is not a mistake. The LPR and DPR formally became part of Russia, but the border between them and the Russian Federation is state, according to the border law. No changes were made to the law, and with the outbreak of hostilities the border was only STRENGTHENED!

Thorn, drones are flying, border guards are shooting to kill. You can't cross the border through the forest. Well, or I don’t know how, and I don’t advise anyone to take risks. At the checkpoint everything is like at a real border: we get out of the vehicle, go to the border guards, present our documents... They are checked by the border guards and the FSB.

A soldier in disguise is easy to identify. Dirty and smelly, you can't wash it off in a day. It was even easier to distinguish me from the locals, even the dialect was different. And in general, don’t try to screw the FSB. Documents of military personnel ARE IN THE Border Guards DATABASE. This means it is impossible to go there legally.

I was detained, kicked off, and transferred to the commandant’s office. There they registered him as a draft dodger, put him in a hole, and then threw him into the basement.

I'm incredibly lucky. If I had flatly refused to serve at all, they might have killed me. I knew about this. If he had agreed to return to the unit, he would have been killed on the front end and would not have been allowed to escape. I intuitively chose the third - refusal to serve in a specific unit.

It worked so damn well that I still kick myself for not insisting on it right away. After spending a week in the basement together with other similar draft dodgers, we were all sent to reorganize in the Kherson region...

But first they took me to Voronezh, where they put me on planes to Rostov and from there to Crimea, where they allowed me to rest. Well, that's the logistics.

But Crimea is not a northwestern military zone. And there is no border with a thorn there. This is the best place to escape

We were all from the basement. In Crimea it was supposed to feed us a little, treat us and give us a rest. There was a normal military unit there: a parade ground, barracks, a canteen. And not forest dugouts. And most importantly, they returned personal documents. In general, I washed myself there, rested for a day and gave it a go.

It was even easier there. You show the military man at the checkpoint that you are not a conscript and go. Everyone went to the store, but I left for 10 minutes and they didn’t see me again. I called a taxi and in Simferopol changed into civilian clothes again right in the store. And then he went even further.

How to get out of Crimea. I knew at least one story about how a guy was detained on the bridge in the SOCH. In civilian clothes. In general, I didn’t take the risk and looked for another way out. Plus I was worried - suddenly they had already started looking.

I found a solution a few days later. The safest way to leave Crimea today is by train from Feodosia to Anapa. Yes, this is an ordinary train, you don’t need a passport for tickets, and there is no security check on the bridge. The simplest and most reliable way.

Now I know stories of how others calmly left by train using an internal passport. But you know what. I still recommend the train. There is no need to make the investigators’ job any easier.

Why not a car? On the bridge, all bus passengers and cars are asked to get out, searched, and docked through the base.

So. 4 hours by train - and I’m in Anapa. I know that many hid on Russian territory. This seems more dangerous to me than leaving the country. How? It turned out to be easier than it seems.

So... Smolensk! Blablakar. In general, I tried not to show my passport anywhere. In Smolensk I have already ordered a transfer to the airport in Minsk. It came out to less than 10 thousand rubles. The car has Belarusian license plates, so they didn’t even look at my passport at the border with Belarus.

After the terrorist attack in Crocus, security here could have been strengthened. Before going, I read local chats in the cart, where residents share information about what is there at the border. You can bypass all checkpoints in a detour - but for this they charge about 15 thousand additionally.

In Minsk, buy a plane ticket using your internal passport. IT IS IMPORTANT! You can do it in advance, but only with an internal passport. Any military person traveling abroad is now restricted from traveling abroad. So there is only one option: Yerevan.

Yes, it is important that the flight is DIRECT. You shouldn’t try your luck and go through customs again in Moscow. At customs, under no circumstances should you admit that you have a foreigner with you.

Another important thing: it’s better to clean your phone of photos from the war and get rid of the military man right away. After Crocus, any cop patrol may require you to show your phone. Why is this necessary?

I lost a lot of time trying to escape to the LPR. I could have immediately written a report about being transferred to another unit, and also gotten pussy, but escaped much earlier.

I lost a lot of time, not knowing how to leave Crimea. I didn’t know if they were looking for me or not. And I lost a lot of nerves, not knowing whether I was wanted or not. Search check on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the database is open.

In general, usually a soldier in the SOC has 10 days before the search begins, then another 2 months AT LEAST before a criminal case is initiated and a search is launched. I didn't know that either.

It will not be ordinary cops who will be looking, but the military investigative committee and the prosecutor's office. They are lazy and don't give a fuck. You are not a homicidal maniac, and you are not a spy. Just, if possible, do not use your bank cards, change your phone and SIM, that’s enough.

It took me 3 months from escaping to leaving. It was an unnecessary risk; it was better to leave immediately. If a person close to you wants to leave there, but doesn’t know how, persuade him not to delay. The method described above works, but everything is changing quickly, who knows how soon these holes will be closed

I am now in another country, trying to get a job here, looking for a job, housing. As soon as I figure it out, I’ll write a guide on this matter. And for now I'm here anonymously.

If there are any questions, I will answer. If you would like to help me, I would be grateful. To be honest, you need help, especially at first. But I can’t show the Russian map. And the only way to support is this:
