Description
Racoon-kun is a Russian artist who has been completely cut off from all of his Patreon revenue ever since the war with Ukraine began over five months ago. Right now, the only way to support him is to pay for each new individual piece of art, which he only started doing with his latest post.
Here’s a link to the site that he’s currently using:

You can buy his latest art piece for a minimum of 80 rubles ($1.25 USD) but you can also choose to spend more than that if you want to support him more. So please, help this guy out. He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him.
toncoin cryptocurrency is very good for international transfers (особенно в России)
But I’m not going to leave because of some sanctions) I love Russia and American blackmail does not work on me (:
Edited
Well, many russians do have THAT enough money
Esp in the western part of Russia, aka Moscow or Petersburg
well, he probably suffered a bit, but Im quite sure it’s not really that bad for him. After all, as I said, there are ways to get paid by Patreon, so nothing really should have changed for him (considered Racoon has ability to google)
Smaller artists, on the other hand, do suffer significantly. At least from what I now. I myself had to find a regular job, since people just refuse to take commissions from the bad evil russian me :)
Oh, really? Because he hasn’t been very communicative lately, his art output has slowed to a crawl, and he’s changed his entire business model twice in the past five months. So I just kinda assumed that he was struggling to stay afloat.
Well, to get out on vacation for a several weeks yes. But moving abroad and making new life in foreign country requires too much money and responsibilities. Even if we talk about post-soviet republics where Russian language is common.
too sad that such simpathy is only shown towards big artists, who won’t get starved by any means. His russian fanbase is big enough for him to earn more than a regular russian citizen :1

most of Russians actually do have enough money to get out :)
But, really, we dont want to leave our home just because PayPal stopped working and McDonalds are down. This conflict will end, sooner or later, and most of sanctions will be canceled. Or just outsmarted. Just a matter of time.
I don’t really see any real reason to leave Russia right now. Esp now, when the whole western world hates us for being born here.
You either a troll, or just a retard. The choice is yours
Anybody who publicly opposes the war is immediately arrested. There are literally videos that show this happening in real time. But don’t take my word for it. Look it up. Also, many of the people who “support” the war online could be Government-funded bot accounts, something that Russia has literally been caught doing in order to sow chaos in America. There are SOME Russians who support the war by choice, yes. But many others either oppose it or have just been misled by Putin’s strong arm of misinformation and propaganda, which he is VERY good at. But there are many other Russians who oppose the war. Ukraine is their next door neighbor. Many Russians have friends and relatives that live there.
Do you know, that Russia isn’t first world country, so about 80% of people aren’t rich enough to move anywhere? According to statistics. And very funny to read your comments because Ukraine, Baltics and probably more states now call to ban Russians from visiting other countries.
And when international western companies demonstratively leave the country, in social networks people try to cancel Russia as a nation, and politicans want to ban Russians from visiting Europe, this only leads to consolidation around the current Russian government.

Reason is to make lives of ordinary Russian citizens worse? Yeah, very good one
Just wow. People like you should be banned for sure.
Leaving Russia is not that easy if you don’t have money or great job skills. And it’s only going to become harder as EU countries stop letting most Russians in.
has it occurred to you that someone can’t leave russia due to a lack of finances…
