They sent me to the psychiatric hospital. It all started after what my grandmother said. He used to say to me, ‘you always pull bad things on yourself, we’re going to get it out of you’ and look, it finally came out. I am in Turkey now, but I am afraid to return to Russia. They send me to a mental hospital and accuse me there. I’m asking you to help me because I don’t know what to do. My dream since childhood was to kill my father, finally my dream came true. I’ve never even raised a voice to a child in my life. I’m a very bad person, but I think I’m doing it right. “I do not regret that I killed my father,” he said.
