Answering the question of what she would like to wash away from, the blogger started talking about her past connected with the Russian Federation. Eshakzai added that she would not be able to change anything.
She noted that after the start of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainians wrote to her telling her to go back to Russia, as she had betrayed them. The blogger admitted that Russians wrote to her the same thing. This caused her confusion, frustration and shame.
According to the journalist, at that time she realized that having left for the Russian Federation after 2014, “she made the wrong choice and made a huge mistake that she will regret all her life.”
