I like the journal format, especially the illustrations - they are human made, not AI made - builds really good atmosphere. However, I don't particularly support the idea of using illustrations made by Russian artists who currently live in Russia (and pay taxes, with all the consequences) when there is such a variety artists to choose from.

The small taxes any Russian would pay for this pales in comparison to the income Russia is generating from selling oil to Europe. Should we also boycott all of Europe too?

Thanks for raising this question, and I agree it is important. Maybe encouraging independence from the russian oil would be a more efficient way to go. Of course, it can't happen immediately, but if some countries consciously don't want to work in this direction - such situation may constitute a safety threat to Europe - and this shouldn't be left without attention.
