🔴🔴🔴 CATASTROPHIC - November Knife Attack (ZERO Evidence)

BIGGEST PROBLEM IN ENTIRE CASE! You claim Matvey Sichinava attacked you with knife November 2022. But you have ZERO proof: No medical certificate, no photos, no police report, no witnesses.

✅ Strategy: "I regret not getting medical treatment - I was scared, humiliated. I was 17 - didn't want record that would follow me. Mother wanted me to go - I refused. Attacker's name IS known - Matvey Sichinava (wouldn't give if lying). This was politically motivated - he knew my family opposed the war."

🔴 CRITICAL - Police Refusal (No Proof)

Problem: You say mother Irina went with you to police to file assault report. Police refused. But you have NO proof of this refusal. No recording. No witness. You didn't try school? Prosecutor? Nothing?

✅ Strategy: "Officer threatened US with Article 280.3 charges - discrediting armed forces. Mother and I were terrified - left immediately. Didn't try elsewhere because police threat was clear. In Russia, going over police head is dangerous."

🟠 HIGH - July 18 Barely Mentioned in YOUR Narrative

Problem: Father's narrative says you were beaten July 18. But YOUR narrative barely mentions it! Why?

✅ Strategy: "YES, I was beaten - medical certificate dated July 19 PROVES it! Traumatic event - difficult to write about in detail. Narrative focused on PATTERN, not re-traumatizing myself. Medical cert is objective proof."

🟠 HIGH - All Political Activity = Following Family

Problem: Feb 24 - went with sister. Sept 21 - went with sister. You never organized protest. Never posted online. Never joined opposition. Where's YOUR independent views?

✅ Strategy: "I WAS minor - 17 years old during most events. Attended protests because I BELIEVE in cause. Not forced by parents - went willingly. Fear of conscription motivated me independently - MY life directly threatened by war."

November 2022 - Complete Evidence Gap

Critical Issue: November knife attack by Matvey Sichinava has ZERO documentation. No medical records, no police report (because they refused), no photographs, no witnesses willing to testify. This is the WEAKEST point in Vladimir's entire case. Must acknowledge honestly but explain: teenage boy ashamed, scared, mother wanted medical attention but Vladimir refused. Attacker's name provided - wouldn't give if fabricated.

Teacher "Interrogations" vs Concerned Teacher

DHS will say: Teacher asked questions after class about your family. You call this "interrogation". Isn't this just concerned teacher checking on troubled student after conflict in class?
Response must be: Questions were NOT about schoolwork - specifically about FAMILY political views. Asked what news programs parents watch, what political discussions we have. This is surveillance, not concern.

Minor Reliability (Age 17)

DHS will say: You were MINOR during most events - 17 years old. Maybe you're misremembering? Exaggerating? Influenced by family's coached version?
Response must be: I was 17-18, not a child - memory is reliable. Medical certificate dated July 19, photos, protocols exist - NOT just memory. These events were traumatic - impossible to forget. Family didn't "coach" me - we lived through same experiences together.
