Sasha, he's an immigrant.
He moved to Berlin in 2022.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he was working at one of the Russian independent media outlets, Echo of Moscow.
Actually, during that time, he was able to work from Russia, but then his editorial office was shut down by the authorities because of word censorship.
Besides, the mobilization was already announced, so it became dangerous for him to stay in Russia because he was about 20 years old and could have been mobilized.
So he emigrated to Berlin and joined one of the Russian...
He had to seek asylum, didn't he?
There is very, very complicated for that kind of immigrants, actually.
Some of them are labeled as foreign agents and some of them labeled as so-called undesirable organizations.
So you can face up to six years in prison.
So for journalists who cover war-related topics, it's impossible to visit Russia because it's a huge risk.
But our loved ones are staying in Russia.
There are many circumstances for them.
They cannot leave their home country because immigration is very expensive and not all of us have this kind of opportunity.
So what are the options?
It's very hard for Russians for now to obtain visas to Europe.
I think the most common way is to go to a third country like Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Serbia.
But still, it's not so affordable for Russian people right now.
So it was convenient for Sasha to go by bus to this Estonian town Narva.
It's on the Estonian-Russian border.
