I am Olha Stefanishyna from Sevastopol, Crimea, with a university economics degree. I am working on flashbacks which are result of a trauma and damage got several years ago.

The fragments span roughly 2014 to 2024. They reveal the ugly truth of what happened when my mind was damaged and predators realized I was defenseless.

Incidents from direct memory and commentary are marked in bold.

This is probably 2014. Location unknown.

I walk into a bright, spacious room (a studio?).

  • Oh, look who’s here! Our sunshine child is back! Olya, where have you been, we missed you!

I’ve been missing? I’m Olya? Where am I? Were they looking for me?

  • (M) Is she pregnant or did she just gain weight?
  • (M) Olya, are you pregnant?

I feel they expect an answer from me, but I don’t understand the essence of the question. I’m looking for a kind blue-eyed man. Who am I looking for?

  • (M) Alright, guys, who did this? Confess! You see she is not accountable for herself!
  • (M) Nah, none of us could’ve done that. Need to ask the other guys.

Somewhere in a dim corridor. Two men and me.

  • (M) Was it you who did this?
  • (M) Well, fuck, she’s an adult!
  • (M) Can’t you see she’s mentally disabled! You do something like this and then send her to us so people think we did it! Take her back and deal with this yourself, don’t drag others into your shit!

This second man is taking me somewhere. I don’t feel safe with him. But there’s nothing I can do.

This one likely relates to the period in America (2022–2024).

  • (F) Well, they cancelled her in America. Now the same needs to be done in Germany.

This looks like a threat. Probably 2014–2016 when they abducted me from home and forced to sign papers.

  • (M) Try saying something different in court.

This looks like someone committed a wrongdoing or a crime and wanted to conceal it, but it became widely known.

  • (F) We didn’t expect this much publicity!
  • (F) And what did you think — exploit a woman in that condition and just move on? (It looks like what they finally had done).

Somewhere in a building entrance near an apartment door, a group of people have gathered.

  • (F) Where are you from?
  • (F) The Republic of Crimea!
  • (F) (dismissively) You outsiders coming here in droves!
  • (F) And where are you from?! You don’t really look like Muscovites! (Did it happen there?)
  • (F) Sakha Republic!
  • (F — me?) The Republic of Crimea!
  • (F) Sakha Republic!
  • (F — me?) The Republic of Crimea!
  • (F) Sakha Republic!
  • (F — me?) The Republic of Crimea!
  • She had a lobotomy — and what about you?
  • Who?
  • (Points at me) Her.
  • (F) She has a university degree! Olya, what are you — an accountant?
  • (F — me?) An economist.
  • (F) She wasn’t like this. Your government did this to her and released her without any legal process! This is what she’s like now. She went missing and we were looking for her. And what’s wrong with you?
  • (F) Take your retarded back!
  • (F) We’re not taking her. She’s learning to live again right now. If she’s put in an institution, she won’t recover! You’ll just have to be patient!
  • (F) She’s driving everyone crazy!
  • (F) She had a lobotomy! It’s not her fault! Complain to the government!
  • (F) You don’t have a passport, do you? Whose apartment is this?
  • (F — me?) I do have a passport, here it is.
  • (F) Why did you say you didn’t?
  • (F — me?) So they wouldn’t take it away.
  • (F) Ah, so that’s it. And what’s this contract? Did you find a job?
  • (F) It needs to be filled out.
  • (F) Right, so fill it out and then you’ll go to work.

  • (F) Who has the key to the garbage room? She throw alive cat in there?
  • (F) Why?
  • (F) Why did you throw a cat in there?
  • (F — me?) I don’t need it, I already have one at home.
  • (F) Where is your home?
  • (F — me?) In Sevastopol. His name is Vaska.
  • (F) So that’s it — she has a cat in Sevastopol. And a husband?
  • (F — me?) A boyfriend.
  • (F) She has a boyfriend too… How are they doing over there without you?
  • (F) They locked her friend up in an institution, and she’s still sitting there chewing her snot! But Olya is already cooking for herself. Big deal, she threw a cat out! The cat is alive, it just sat in the dumpster for a bit.
  • (F) You fucked her in this dump? What the fuck is wrong with you?
  • (M) Calm down.
  • (F) Are you out of your fucking mind? And then you go to our kids?

Kyiv (?). I am on the floor in an apartment. Several young people keep me against a camera and TV panel (some call is starting)

  • What the fuck is this?
  • They’re paying money for her.
  • Is this the Mossad?
  • I don’t know. Follow the instructions.

This is a first-person testimony, based on dissociative flashbacks, not direct memory. I am recording them and analyze them. Open letter.
