  • Who the Holy F am I?

    (CW: final confession, artistic vision, esoteric message, strong personal opinion, nudity)

    I am the blood from the soils where Mongolia, Kazakhstan, China, and Russia stand now, carrying the legacy of the Altaic princess, a daughter of Kali, daughter of the earth itself. Reincarnation of Mary Magdalene, I have returned to reclaim my mind and spirit. It is time for the East to awaken, to rekindle wisdom and seek enlightenment. It is time for the western civilizations to accept mistakes and boldly act towards finally learning from history. 

    I am here to remind us all that humanity’s true goal must be collective happiness; to reach this, we must end our conflicts and learn from one another. No one can understand ultimate power without experiencing complete helplessness. No one should be allowed to possess those powers without facing the consequences of abuse.

    Every living soul will benefit if we dismantle the dominance of empires and vast nations.

    Humanity has already learned what democracy is, but we’ve forgotten that democracy is a continuous action, not something to be abandoned to those who cannot understand its depth.

    Science and spirituality must reconnect, guiding us in reinventing religions and refining the values we hold sacred, all while leaving violence behind. We must teach humanity to process anger and ego on every level. We must learn to understand death and cherish the journey of aging and growing wiser. At the same time, we must prevent those who cling to old ways from hindering our progress.

    The world has pressing issues around nationality, superstition, and gender. We can overcome these, but we must first learn to manage anger and, most importantly, to learn love—starting with self-love. This journey of self-acceptance is deeply connected to education, especially around sexuality and boundaries from early childhood.

    We need to rebalance power to reshape the world, letting new voices bring fresh vision. We should stop seeking God outside of ourselves; the Healers and Creators of magic are among us already, and it’s time to support them. We must replace fear and hate for what we don’t understand with study, patience, and sensitivity.

    We must gather as much knowledge as we can, share it with care and respect, dig beneath the sacred places with an open heart and cold head, and uncover the secrets our ancestors buried out of fear and lust for power. Once humanity is sexually satisfied, emotionally balanced and spiritually aware, we’ll be one step closer to true happiness and harmony.

    There’s no ultimate truth for all. We are all different. Always were. Always will be. This is our biggest strength. This is life itself.

  • Best queer hotel in Berlin? Yes, Axel One

    (CW: Personal and unpaid review. Honest reflections ahead.)

    Before discovering Axel last year, I felt like Berlin had no safe, comfortable hotel options for under €200–300 a night. Axel changed the game. I’ve stayed at both locations multiple times, and their existence inspired me to write this review and share other great spots.

    As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I feel a responsibility to recommend places that feel safe and welcoming—especially since I spend so much time in hotels.

    So, what makes Axel One special? Let me break it down:


    Check-In Experience / Staff / Guests / Issue Management

    The team is consistently wonderful. Sebastian and the crew made me feel genuinely cared for during my last visit—like always. Their approach to resolving issues is top-notch, and trust me, if I’m staying in a hotel, I am a walking issue. Axel handles everything like pros.


    Rooms / Sleep Quality / Design / Cleanliness

    The rooms have a cozy, modern vibe with a dark design. Small rooms with balconies are perfect for solo travelers, and while the bed is fine for three (tested!), the space itself is tight for more than one person. My absolute favorite is the Junior Suite—it’s where most of my photos come from. While the dark decor can be tricky to maintain, the rooms are generally clean, comfy, and inviting.


    Bathrooms / Wardrobe Space

    I’m a big fan of the bathtubs here and usually request rooms that have them. The Junior Suite offers fantastic dressing space, making it my go-to choice. Smaller rooms are less ideal for someone traveling with five suitcases (like me) but manageable.


    Food / Breakfast / Internet Quality

    Breakfast is perfectly fine, with multiple egg options. The Georgian restaurant on-site is a delightful dinner bonus. The internet is reliable and fast, so no complaints there.


    Massage / Spa / Gym

    The rooftop spa is incredible. It’s a welcoming space with open-minded and kind guests. While I haven’t tried their massage services yet, the gym and spa are fantastic additions to the experience.


    Location / Sex Worker & Guest Friendliness / Parking

    Axel truly shines here. My guests, who often have unique situations, reported zero judgment or gendering issues—a rare find even in pricier hotels. It’s a sex-worker-friendly space that maintains a judgment-free and inclusive atmosphere for all.


    A Haven for Inclusivity with a Rooftop Jacuzzi

    Axel One is an ideal choice for queer travelers—or anyone who values inclusivity and a welcoming vibe. Their branding as “hetero-friendly” perfectly captures the experience of staying here.

    I initially planned to share a gallery of photos, thinking I had tons of content from Axel. But since I wanted to keep this post in a SFW timeline, I couldn’t include all the shots I wanted.

    While digging for safe-for-work images, I stumbled upon a photo of the hallway and remembered something I’ve been meaning to do: offer Gene and the Axel team a collaboration to shoot a music video for Melt and Dissolve in their stunning space. Just putting this out there for now!

    The song is somehow playing in my head every time I walk through that hallway. Here’s the link to it on various streaming platforms: [Melt and dissolve by Bogolepov].

  • There is no god to save them

    (CW: political activism, strong personal opinion)

    The Requiems project was first performed in Berlin and later in Prague, featuring music created by Bogolepov. Our original idea was to address the “elephant in the room” before the show at Berghain: a stark reminder, first to ourselves, that the war in Ukraine is ongoing and that it’s dangerous to let ourselves grow numb to it.

    This time, we included Rage, song by Nadya Tolokonnikova, founder of Pussy Riot. Wearing that pink balaclava felt especially powerful, particularly while watching embassy workers grow visibly uneasy, anxiously ushering visitors inside.

    I’ve received many kind words of support recently, and I want to say how much they mean to me. Surprisingly, this felt easy to do—even though it involved 2.5 hours of holding a 6-kilogram speaker without a break for water or a toilet. Once again, I felt like I was exactly where I needed to be, doing what I’m meant to do.

    During the performance, we played the four songs twice at each of the five spots around the venue. Sil filmed the last three locations, capturing the raw energy of the event. She’s already back in Kyiv, catching up on sleep amidst the ongoing Russian bombing of her city, which is why she hasn’t posted further updates yet.

    Playlist link:

    (All funds support Sil and her family in Kyiv—$900/month needed)

    This is our second action in Prague. I hope we can inspire more people coming to other embassies of the terrorist state or other places of gathering with our playlist

    Help us funding Sil, here’s the support link again. On the night before the event, she also took many new photos of me, including several intimate, unfiltered shots. Read a post about her work on Gene’s page.

    This event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of Expat Legal, my amazing Czech attorneys and personally Mr. Enes Zaimovic, also my dedicated assistants, Paw and Sil.

    First raw feedback

    The show went great, and the sound was amazing! We’re totally happy with the results and can’t wait to share the recording with Mycelium members once it’s ready.

    On the production side, things were a bit hectic. Not only did we face a DDoS attack on bogolepov.eu, but we also dealt with a chain of last-minute cancellations and fallbacks. Thankfully, we managed to work through it, but I want to acknowledge there’s definitely room for improvement for next time.

    It was wonderful to see such a beautifully mixed crowd of over 150 guests, with queer and straight people of all ages coming together. I’m still collecting feedback, so if you have anything to share, I’d love to hear it!

    We’re currently processing the accounting. Once calculations are complete, I’ll share more details about the financial side. The photo reports are coming up, Mycelium members already can see it.

  • Naked marketing

    Surviving Capitalism with Art, Sex, and a Dash of Traffic

    (CW: politics, sex for sale, marketing, strong personal opinion)

    As Bogolepov performs at Kantine am Berghain
    on September 4th, we must address the elephant in the room. Born in Leningrad, she fled Russia after releasing Mother Russia in 2017.
    Given our stance against Putin’s aggression
    in Ukraine, Mother Russia won’t be played live when we want to share love and hope.
    Instead, it and Serpent Song, a new track exploring a dictator’s psyche, are part of our project with BOGOLEPOV: requiems of tomorrow, meant to be heard in spaces like
    embassies of the terrorist state

    In our latest project, “What the Fuck is Sicut Dico,” we’re tackling the wild world of surviving as artists under capitalism. (And yes, the first three episodes are already out!). Right now, we’re all about driving traffic to our websites—mine features nudes, and Gene’s offers music. I didn’t pick money and sex as mediums just to stir the pot or get rich quick. Nope, I believe they’re powerful tools to shake up the system.

    Now, I know some folks might get offended by what we’re doing—whether it’s the mix of names, nationalities, or our professions. But this message is for those who can see beyond that. We can’t beat fascism with more hate; only love and art give us hope. And we’re eager to share that with anyone who’s ready to accept it.

    Here’s where things get fun: since August, I’ve been buying ads on FetLife. Imagine Facebook, but way more fun because you can put a dick on your avatar and list all your kinks. The crowd there? Open-minded, kind, and honestly some of the most interesting people around. These ads cost me $500 a month, which feels like a solid investment in reaching the right people.

    Next up, I want to buy traffic from Ukrainian creators, offering them the same $500 for a month’s worth of mentions. All I ask in return is that they share links to my work or Gene’s, with some tracking I’ll provide. How do they do it? Totally up to them. The goal? Let’s build a bridge between English-speaking audiences and those in Ukraine or Russia who get what we’re saying in English. Because let’s be real, this isn’t just about Ukraine vs. Russia or any single conflict. The world’s more complex than that, and nothing is truly black and white.

    And here’s the best part: I’ll be publishing monthly updates on how this traffic is working out. Expect the first update to drop after our big show at Berghain. It’s all about keeping things transparent, fun, and, most importantly, creating a space where love and art can thrive. I will explain more on the way.

    *naked – for me means beforehand honesty and purity, sexual aspect of nakedness is secondary, although still extremely important. But staying true to myself comes first. So my naked thoughts come along with my naked body

    **marketing – an art of informing on what is available for a consensual, usually, monetary exchange with accountable profit for all parties involved. Ideally with long term effects.

    Why do I have to write all those catchy headlines like NAKED MARKETING?

    Because it is the only way to find out who i really am (that I find acceptable in order to not loose myself in self promotion)

  • Sicut Dico by Vika Temnova

    If I have to introduce myself on a dating app, I say I’m an adult content creator or a professional villain. 

    When I want to appear “normal”, I introduce myself as an art manager, or an event producer, or simply as an artist. 

    Very often, I say that I’m a former marketing strategist and project manager who now only accepts to sell art or sex. 

    For those who want to fuck my artists without my permission, I’m a pimp. A hardcore pimp, with lawyers and thugs on my side.

    For kind weirdos, queers and all kinds of perverts I preach self love and acceptance. Hope for a change. Confidence. Power to be whoever the fuck you want.

    Sometimes I simply perform and entertain. Sometimes I also just survive and fight.

    Honestly? I have so many roles and characters that I can lose myself. Then I hire professionals.

    In this case, Vika Temnova is 1000%. Not only did she manage to see me as I am in a simple video call and brief meeting, but she also met six members of my team, dressed them in other people’s clothes, styled us all in less than an hour, and made sure we all fell in love with her. 

    On top of that, she’s a Ukrainian artist and the fact that she agreed to work with me is a huge honor. Follow her on IG (and consider donating to Ukraine if you have a steady income).

    The first episode of ‘What the fuck is Sicut Dico’ is out btw. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way. I love you.

    The photos we’re publishing now are just previews. Behind-the-scenes videos will soon be available on fan sites

    Creative directing, photography and style: Vika Temnova

    Models: Sicut Dico, Profaneportraits, Scrote Esquire, Gene Bogolepov, Julia Vilianen, Prince of Ticks, Paw Patrol

    a few more details about this collaboration to disclose:

    These photos were taken on Wednesday (10.07) of this week.

    On Tuesday, Vika Temnova spent 6 hours in +30°C heat driving around Berlin without air conditioning to choose clothes for people she hadn’t even seen.

    On Monday, we cancelled the promotion of Gene’s concert at Berghain because kremlin terrorists had bombed a hospital in Kiev over the weekend.

    I’ve hired Vika to shoot a promotional campaign for my own website and her next task is to help my dear assistant Sil, based in Kiev, with the avatar, banner photo and so on.

    So I’d like to turn this collaboration into a little political performance and ask you, my lovely audience, to help us fund and promote this project to raise awareness of the current situation in Ukraine.

    Why should we do this? Because the world needs to know how it feels. Because artists are the people who should speak out the most. We should not get used to what is going on.

    Because the fight against fascism is a task for us all. Yes, Ukraine is on the front line, but the war is all over the world. We have to look deeper inside to win. Each within ourselves. And we can’t win this fight without art.

  • 25.02.2023. WTF people?

    (CW: nudity, politics, art)

    This night was an immersive play in 4 acts and also a social experiment. The first two acts were unfortunately not documented due to organizational issues. But they remain in my memory and I’m sure also in the memories of those who were there that night.

    I had a lot of people approaching me and telling me nice things, like that what I do is real art. It felt good at first. But then I saw how the money jar started filling up with coins, notes and.. business cards.

    This part made me sad somehow. So I’d like to leave questions here. Why do some people think that their opinion is worth more than a few euros? Or is there something wrong with me?

    I’m only here to bring up the questions no else can. That’s my power. The rest is yours.

    That night I went to the club neither to not judge nxor ruin the party mood. I think I wanted answers for myself. I got them and feel grateful.

    Photography: Manuel Calicchia

    (Dear Manuel, thank you for your patience and will to make it work).

    I learned so much that night

    My brave sub was that night both a candle holder and a message carrier. I used their body to hold my laptop and display text slides. They also talked to the guests, played, and explained the slides to them, though at certain moments, this wasn’t an easy task at all.

    Here you can see the slides that they displayed.

    They also wrote this poem after. I think it can partially replace the missing pictures.

    THANK YOU SECTION

    Massive thanks to Let’Z Fetish Academy at Kitkatclub Berlin and Ari Denaro personally for letting me take care of the clinic, special thanks to Simon for rescuing the photographer for me, and to Elina and Lilith for being amazing, supportive, but also mean and hot AF!

    My laptop de-branding sticker was designed by Maladie_tattoo.

    MONEY SECTION

    All the money collected that night went to support Ukrainians. If you read until this point I wonder if you are curious  about how much money we actually got.

    I will tell you, I promise. But first I’m asking you to guess the number that you thin it is. Once you submit your guess,  you’ll get the answer. What do you think of it?
