About my POV and Wikipedia's understanding of neutrality
Freedom of opinion is one of the basic human rights. My personal opinions include a profound dislike of all forms of racism and supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian aggression. I have been attacked by other editors for this. Therefore, I'd like to remind editors who think that my point of view makes me non-neutral in my editing that Editors are allowed to have personal political POV, as long as it does not negatively affect their editing and discussions (see WP:NPA). If someone wants to claim that anti-racism is a personal bias, they should read WP:NONAZIS.

I am pro-Russian
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy is one of the best books ever written, Fyodor Dostoevsky gave me some of the deepest insights into human psychology I ever got, and I have been a fan of Mikhail Gorbachev's ever since the summer of 1988 when we studied the parallels between his way of thinking and Lenin's at Bonn University. His memoirs are a really wonderful book. The courage of Alexei Navalny is a source of inspiration for me.

"Glory to Ukraine"
"Слава Україні" on the banner above means "Glory to Ukraine". The concept of glory is a highly problematic one, because it often means the killing and oppressing of humans beings. But since the dictator of their powerful imperialist neighbour denied the very existence of a Ukrainian people and state, I understand that Ukrainians need this concept to keep up their morale. Four students in my class (and many more at my school) are refugees from Ukraine, one of them from Kharkiv. When I asked her in May 2024 about the situation in her home town, the 17-year-old girl said "Not good" with an expression on her face that haunted me into the night.

About myself
Robert SandrocK becomes RSK, the rest is the year of my birth and the year I first used this name on a social network.

Profession: Teacher for Religion, History, Physics, and Spanish.

Vocation: Since 1986, Benedictine monk of Königsmünster (Christ the King) Abbey in Meschede, Germany. My dislike of racism has become more profound because of the people I met during my stays in Tanzania (Peramiho Abbey, 2007-09 and 2012-16) and Cuba (New foundation in La Habana, 2009-11).
