Today, June 6, 2026, I, Nadia Russ, stop using my last name “Russ” in protest against wars on planet Earth. I am tired of wars. All decent humans are tired of the endless wars. We live in the 21st century and it is shame to see how the politicians and war mongers provoking and supporting the war’s ideas and situations that result in human deaths. It is criminal. Humans achieved the top success in technology, but still cannot commuicate like the humans. Since today,call me Nadia Mirth. Let stop the war madness and make any effort to bring the mirth and joy to every square foot on this planet.”
