From Cancer Battle to Legal Nightmare: Help to Restart My Business and Hugh My Daughter

A 7-Year Odyssey Through Cancer, War, and Justice

In 2018, after decades abroad (Russia, ex-Soviet states, Afghanistan), I fled to Italy—my only safe haven as an Italian citizen—to escape death from severe health issues. Rushed from Kabul to Milan, I underwent emergency surgery. I woke up thinking I'd recover fast and return abroad. Instead, stage 4 cancer stole my voice forever, demanding brutal chemo and radiation.

As side effects of the chemoradiotherapy faded, COVID lockdowns and restrictions blocked screenings and travel for two years. Then, Ukraine's war shattered my family—my daughter lives in Russia, born from my marriage to a Donbass woman where I once worked.

In 2023, when I started to come out of a deep depression and getting used to live without voice, an old, forgotten Twitter comment prompted the International Criminal Court judge who issued the arrest warrant for President Putin to file a complaint with the Rome Prosecutor's Office. What followed was 2 years of legal hell: home raid and seizure of my Twitter (now X) account, criminal investigation and eventual trial. Only weeks ago, the Court dismissed the case entirely—despite prosecutors seeking my conviction. Criminal proceedings are closed, but financial burdens remain.

7.5 years later, savings gone, my tiny disability pension barely covers basics. At 63, restarting in Italy is impossible—I've lived/worked abroad my whole life.

I need YOUR help to escape this nightmare:

• Reactivate my Afghanistan sole proprietorship & rehire 2 loyal ex-employees (my only path forward—despite health limits).

• Visit my daughter in Russia.

• Cover remaining legal costs.

My voicelessness killed my polyglot career; I must work with those who knew me "pre-cancer."

Goal: €22,000 (Trip, reactivation, rehiring, Russia visit, legal fees). I'll update donors transparently on every euro spent.
