One year ago today, Iryna Zarutska was murdered.
This image of Iryna, terrified and in tears, as she realizes what had just happened to her and that the next few moments will be her last, tears my soul apart.
In the midst of everything that’s going on, don’t forget about her.

Hello again.
We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip.
The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity.
I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool.
I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy.
I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know.
I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia.
A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia.
This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was.
And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for reading.
Yesterday I went for dinner and drinks with this absolute beaut!
Em was my prison bestie at HMP Drake Hall. A veteran, a mother and another woman that should absolutely not have been serving a prison sentence.
We originally met in Peterborough and later ended up both getting shipped to Drake Hall, where our paths crossed again.
Our friendship was meant to be, and I would not have survived life at Drake Hall without her in my corner.
You can read all about Em in my book.

Wiesz, oglądałem tę scenę w Citizen Vigilante i uderzyło mnie coś niesamowitego. Jestem wrażliwym człowiekiem, ale nawet mi oko nie mrugnęło, kiedy bohater ich sprzątnął. Dlaczego? Bo tam była sytuacja, która przekracza wszelkie granice. Widzisz rodzinę i znajomych tego Yusufa – facet popełnił potworną zbrodnię, a oni bezczelnie stają za nim murem. Zasłaniają się jakimś religijnym fanatyzmem, gadają o zasadach, o dress codzie, robiąc z ofiary winną, a z gwałciciela kogoś nietykalnego.
I w tym momencie wchodzi facet, który po prostu burzy tę całą ich pewność siebie i fasadę ideologii. Poczujesz wtedy czystą, głęboką satysfakcję i ulgę, bo ci ludzie myśleli, że ich kultura czy religia daje im immunitet na czynienie zła. To nie była ślepa przemoc – to była chwila, w której bezwzględna prawda i kara dosięgły ludzi współwinnych, którzy bezczelnie krewnego kryli. Wobec takiej hipokryzji człowiek całkowicie odcina współczucie i czuje, że stała się jedyna właściwa rzecz.
