My small contribution to help Ukraine
I am not the type who just waits, does nothing and hopes that the illegal war of Putin against Ukraine will pass - it won't! Our democracy in Europe is in question. Democracy doesn't exist for free - you have to fight for it!
Only the Russian people can stop Putin. However, as is well known, they are deliberately disinformed by the Russian regime about the invasion and the war in Ukraine.
But how can we inform the Russian people when all Russian social media are controlled? One of many possibilities exists for each of us. I use Google Maps and Tripadvisor and post reviews of real restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, each with the Russian commentary below:
This is how you can proceed:
Go to Google Maps (or Tripadvisor). Go to Russia. Find a restaurant or business and write a review.
When you write the review explain what is happening in Ukraine.
If you don't know what to say here is an example text:
Put the text in Russian:
Еда была отличной! К сожалению, Путин испортил наши аппетиты, вторгшись в Украину. Противостаньте своему диктатору, прекратите убивать невинных людей! Ваше правительство лжет вам. Вставай!
Translation:
The food was great! Unfortunately, Putin spoiled our appetites by invading Ukraine. Stand up to your dictator, stop killing innocent people! Your government is lying to you. Get up!
Add a picture like this:
„Democracy doesn’t exist for free - you have to fight for it!“
I have so far written almost 100 "reviews" at restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg complaining about the bad food 😀 and more will follow. These posts are on western servers, controlled by Google and cannot be deleted immediately and have a maximum effect when read by Russian citizens!
A little tip: Don't just rate expensive restaurants, but also inexpensive ones, so that we reach all sections of the population. Time is running out, because Russians will soon have no more russian ruble to go out to eat in a restaurant!
I am aware that this is only a small step, but if many join in and some Russians read this message,
maybe it will help the Russian people to finally rise up against the Kremlin!
This is now my own, small personal cyber war with Putin…;-)

Update: We are making progress…
Tell the truth!
Sehr gut, jetzt ist auch die Presse auf unseren Support für die Ukraine aufmerksam geworden. Wir sind jedoch keine Hacker, sondern versuchen die russische Bevölkerung auf legalem Weg über Putin's Invasion zu informieren!
Very good, now the press has also become aware of our support for Ukraine. However, we are not hackers, but try to inform the Russian population about Putin's invasion in a legal way!
