Appeal to Micha Kaufman.
Dear Micha Kaufman. I am an ordinary Illustrator from the Russian Federation, who does not understand anything about politics and wars. All I can do is - draw cute characters.
I have been working on Fiverr for 2 years now, and I chose this site because you provided an opportunity for all the peoples of the world to freely, without any racial prejudice and political considerations, to earn money and develop here. I am grateful for this opportunity.
On Fiverr, I felt confident in the future and the freedom that I can manage myself. In all my time on Fiverr, I have never asked a client to collaborate outside of your site. On the contrary, I informed all my clients about the Fiverr rules that it is forbidden to work off the site and share personal data, although many clients offered work off the site. Despite the percentage of 20%, I brought everyone to you.
Unfortunately, my line of work is not very relevant in the Russian Federation, especially now. I'm Twitch Emotes artist. Therefore, I simply cannot make money with this in Russian Federation.
I didn't earn much from it, but I had enough to live on.
There are many nationalities and cultures in the Russian Federation. And almost all of us have relatives in the countries of the former USSR. Do not think that we do not worry about them, and they do not worry about us. Our relatives know what the Russian Federation is and what laws there are.
I am Russian and I am proud of it, because this is my homeland. No one has the right to blame a person because he loves his homeland. But many of us may not support power, just like in other countries.
All of us - Russians, Ukrainians, Moldovans and others - have chosen Fiverr to work not from the good life in our countries. Ordinary citizens are not taught here to rally or fight, for this there are special structures, the military, who want to protect us. But Our freedom is not limited here. The laws of the Russian Federation allow us young, advanced citizens to work with foreign citizens on foreign sites.
Moreover, some Fiverr freelancers from the Russian Federation are people with disabilities, people with nervous diseases. For whom this site is a convenient way to earn money to buy food, pay for housing, buy medicines. Because they are not ready to live on pension payments, and they want to feel like full-fledged people. Do you really offer all these people, in addition to solving their problems, to go to war with their government? Is it tolerant? I myself suffer from a nervous illness and now the issue of closing Fiverr for the Russian Federation is quite acute for me.
Micha Kaufman, on behalf of all freelancers in the Russian Federation, we urge you not to limit our accounts.
By depriving Russian citizens - specialists of work on Fiverr, you doom us all to poverty, hatred, humiliation and suffering.
Thank you 😞
I’ve been sleeping for 3-4 hours for 1.5 weeks already, I don’t eat much, I don’t walk. Body tells me - stop, but the brain says - take all the orders! Taking more orders, I understand that this trains me to work faster and quality in order to increase my reputation. Only hard work will make me a professional and a TOP seller.
