Petr
Petr is a Belarusian émigré who left his home country in the fall of 2021 amid political unrest. After more than a year away, he returned to Minsk for a brief visit to finalize some paperwork, navigating the risks of being in a city that felt foreign to him. During his trip, he experienced a mix of nostalgia and fear as he observed the changes in his hometown and the atmosphere of caution that pervaded interactions with acquaintances. Petr reflected on the stark differences in his perception of the city, which he now viewed as 'alien,' and he recounted his careful journey through Belarus, avoiding detection and the potential repercussions of his return.
