Hi, I'm V, I'm a qualified mechanic from Russia, I repair MINI and BMW engines. My big dream is to leave Russia to Turkey (I think you understand why). It was hard for me to take this step, but I made a decision. It will be a very difficult path, since I have a dog, his name is Kratos. I will be happy if you take part in my move to Turkey!
Thanks everyone!
UPD
I am in Turkey now. (3 months). Great Country, great people, for the first time in many years I felt calm and peaceful from where I am. But the joy did not last long, the Turkish government no longer issues a residence permit for Russian Citizens, in other words, I did not have time. With a 90% chance I will be deported from Turkey in early February, and my dog and I will have to flee again, probably to Georgia.

Well, day X has passed. And as I thought they denied me a residence permit, this means that from today my stay in Turkey is illegal. But I'm not ready to rush to Georgia yet.
Right now I'm confused and don't really know what to do.

So, I received a notification that I must leave the territory of Turkey before February 22 inclusive, otherwise I will receive a ban on visiting this country. So far, I am not completely ready to move to Georgia, but there is still time and faith in a miracle is also with me.

And so I am in Georgia. It took me 47 hours by car to get to the city of Batumi (Georgia) in addition, I was stuck in the mountains for 12 hours in a mountain pass due to the fact that a strong avalanche came down on the road and I was cut off from all routes, I waited 12 hours until the technician comes to the rescue. I finally did it, I left Turkey.. Now what? This is a common question to which I don't know the answer. Starting all over again, a new apartment, a new environment, everything is all over again. two suitcases, a computer and my dog, but I'm alive and I'm safe.

It has been 3 weeks since I am in Georgia. I want to answer a few questions. Yes, this site is my main job, Yes, I'm here mainly for money, since my earnings are directly related to my survival. No, I cannot work in my area of specialization in another country as I do not have a work permit (I will not be able to obtain this). My rent per month is $700 so I try to work here more time. I'm not on vacation or at a resort. Georgia turned out to be 2 times more expensive than Turkey. To everyone who understands, thank you very much!

Well, 6 months have passed since I was in Georgia. Unfortunately, I have nothing to say about this country, but what I can say I will simply ignore. These were far from the best 6 months of my life. And the day came when I had to go back. it was not an easy decision, I have nowhere else to run, I am a stranger everywhere, and the borders of most countries are closed to me because I have a dog. And so at the end of September I return to Russia .. what awaits me there? I dont know, but I no longer have the strength, no opportunities, no options .. I express my deep gratitude to all those people who were with me on this difficult path, you are amazing people and I am glad that kindness and courage fills your hearts, please remain as kind, merciful, strong .. people like you are the last reliable bastion of our world .. I love you all, and I will remember everyone ...

Well, here I am at home, although its very hard to call it home, I returned to St. Petersburg, but everything has changed a lot during the year of my absence. Despite all this, I am glad to be among my people, I feel calmer. I'm going back to work in the garage, and now I'm doing what I love again.
But I will also appear here whenever possible.
Since my MINI was destroyed during my absence, now I would really like to buy a new car and give it a new life.
Your support is always pleasant and useful. Once again I thank each and everyone who was with me along this path.
