cc: Everyone
Dear Vladimir,
Although we don’t know each other personally yet, I now dare to address you directly, because I feel a knot inside me every time I write your patronymic. At first I was confused. Now I realize that I want to address you very personally. Not your father nor your ancestors. Because I want to focus explicitly on the now and the tomorrow.
For three months now I have been writing a letter to you, dear Vladimir. With each week it became longer. Almost 3000 words. And again and again I rewrote it. I even put in night shifts. My neck and shoulders were already totally tense. I used to write such long letters only to my future ex-husband when I wanted to explain something to him. He is also Russian. And his name is also Vladimir. These letters never really achieved anything. Except sleepless nights and the aforementioned tension. And this time I’m listening to my body. She literally yelled at me yesterday with neck and shoulder pain to make me give up what my mind has been trying to deduce extra eloquently for months now. Why everything is the way it is right now. Why everything could be completely different. What I know all clever about it. And everything that you could change.
Bullshit!
This morning I went for a run in the woods. It went well. I had a lot of energy. At some point I had enough and I lay down on the huge trunk of an uprooted tree. And looking up at the bright summer sky that has been emblazoned over Berlin for weeks, a picture suddenly came to my mind. It made me laugh so much and caused such a lightness to rise in me that I decided to write a new letter for you that would match that energy. May I succeed!
Anyway, as I sit here in front of my laptop, I feel truly in love. With myself, with this simply grandiose life, and with the images that have been emerging in me since my run in the woods. I want to write a new story for you.
And, voilà, so here it begins. I’m laughing again as I imagine your face when you read it. And everyone else ….
I have a dream
In my dream – lying on my fallen log in the forest – I see, Slava Zaitsev, creating and tailoring a personalized feel-good oufit in white for every member of the Russian government on your behalf, including the President of course. I see the joy and creatvity in Slava’s eyes, and the fun experienced by everyone else involved. I also see surprise and a bit of incomprehension in some faces. But what does that matter? This thing is a real blast. It’s hung right at the top. And above all, it makes masses of sense.
You and I, we came up with this together. Because from now on, official meetngs with the President of the Russian Federation will take place only in white comfortable clothes. All suits, ties and uncomfortable shoes will be banned from all meetings – especially the most explosive ones. Это приказ!
You also decided, Vladimir, that from now on all government meetings will be held in a circle and on the floor – those who have back problems will, of course, get a super comfortable chair. Each meeting will have an obligatory preparation part, which we call ‘Tuning-In’ – working title. I’m sure you will find some brilliant Russian word for it. This is all about relaxation for body, mind and soul. You have invited the crème de la crème of the country’s body and energy specialists. In addition, there is an important requirement for session partcipants: Those who slept badly must stay at home, go for a walk or sleep. That’s how you decided it. And the best is: Highly important meetings are always accompanied by a female ‘Circle of 12ʹ. (You came up with that!) These are frequency architects, extraordinarily radiant women of ancient and modern wisdom traditions, deeply embodied and of exquisite vibrance, who ensure a consistently high frequency and a stable focus on the intention of the meeting in the room. The blast!
Naturally, your example is making the rounds. Even beyond the country’s borders. Everyone wants to become a member of the Russian government! Joke :-). But your ministers truly think that they have the best job in the world.
And so your extraordinary inspirations, dear Vladimir, are only too gladly accepted on the international scene. Your government sessions have been given a nickname. They are called ‘simply divine’ all over the world. And they are! In the matter of Ukraine, for example, a way was found within a few days that led to the immediate cessation of all hostilities while maintaining the integrity of everyone involved, and laid the foundation for peace and prosperity on a completely new timeline throughout Europe. Ukraine is now known to every child in the world. It plays a leading role in all important interna=onal bodies and is now a flourishing country full of self-love and strength. Moreover, it became an essen=al source of wisdom for the world community when its people chose perfect peace in order to be able to move forward unrestrictedly into a new era.
That was in the fall of 2022. Today it’s 2025. It’s summer. You and Jacinda are sitting together, drinking tea and having fun looking at the French government’s latest design for their collection of feel-good clothes in blanc-bleu-rouge. In the next room, your grandchildren are playing and making quite a racket. You smile. Then you are being called. Phone calls from all over the world are still pending for that day. Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Israel and a few others. They have grown really tired of all the war business, they say. And it would be great if you, Vladimir, could come over and share with them how you’ve been managing it all.
The world has changed.
This is my litle story, dear Vladimir. I know it is more than realistic. And it makes so much sense. Because we are all souls in a body. And this connection holds limitless potenrial of human genius and love. All the wisdom, all the technology, and all the resources needed to shift from war consciousness into our natural state of connection and soul integrity are available to us today. Here we are genius, benevolence, humor, love, presence, perfect timing, in short – soul intelligence. If I can learn it, anyone can.
And you are not alone, Vladimir. For we all now have the chance to contribute to a new Earth and Life Story – every head of state, every parent, and every person on our planet. Everything that receives our consistent attention must grow.
Where do we want to focus our attention? Which stories do we want to tell?
With love and courage
Искренне ваша
Claudia Shkatov
