Hello. My name is Filipp Romanov. I am twenty-three years old. I am amateur astronomer, the discoverer of 71 variable stars and author of two scientific papers published in two journals. I am from Russia and I am homeless for the 5th year already. I need the help! More information:

This video was made on January 25, 2021, in my small homeland (in Yuzhno-Morskoy, Primorsky Krai of Russia, on the coast of the Sea of Japan).

I was born on April 27, 1997. My experience of astronomy is 11 years. I started to study astronomy by self-education in 2009 (since August 17, 2009; I was 12 years old).

My mother https://twitter.com/romlorvic  (she has a blood disorder - anemia) brought me up herself (alone). I was disabled for 10 years in orthopedics. I spent my childhood in hospitals. I have a lot of diseases (of joints, of bronchi, of blood - thrombocytopenia - and heart defect).

I had a dream to enter the Lomonosov Moscow State University to study astronomy and become an astronomer, so I came to Moscow from Primorsky Krai of the Russian Far East. My relatives together all bought me a small room (its area of 13.2 square meters) in a two-room communal apartment in Moscow.

I wanted to prepare there for the entrance exams to the University and I wanted live there while studying at the University. But on January 23, 2017 I lost the opportunity to live in my room, because in this communal apartment my rights were illegally violated.

I and my mother: were deprived of the opportunity to live safely and unhindered in this communal apartment, we lost the opportunity to take away our belongings and my telescopes from my room, and I lost the opportunity to sell my room. As a result, since January 23, 2017, I, my mother and our old cat Fanya (she is now 15 years old) - we are homeless.

My room is for sale since March 2017, but there are obstacles in its sale.

My life and my mother's life were in danger in this communal apartment, so we fleeing and we went wandering. For two years, my mother and I have been writing statements to the police, with video evidence of violations of our rights in this communal apartment, but no one helped us; I wrote to mayor of Moscow - Sergey Sobyanin and to President of Russia - Vladimir Putin, but probably, the officials did not give them my letters (my letters to the President of Russia and to the Mayor of Moscow were redirected by officials to other institutions of Moscow); and we are forced to wander for four years, as homeless, about it I created my petition on December 09, 2017 on change.org: https://www.change.org/p/%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D1%83%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C%D0%B3%D0%B8-%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8-%D0%B2-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9-%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B5-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BF%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D1%83%D1%8E%D1%82-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B9-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8B

From Lomonosov Moscow State University, I received a letter that for the results of observations in astronomy, they do not accept students for education without passing entrance examinations. But I have no housing to study in it for exams, because I am homeless. And I have not only observations, but also scientific discoveries https://filipp-romanov.livejournal.com/27664.html . From Saint Petersburg State University I also received a letter that they will not take me to study without passing entrance exams.

On November 13, 2020, I was a presenter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuyFpCCOOxI  during the AAVSO https://www.aavso.org/109th-annual-meeting-presentations 109th Annual Meeting with my presentation "Discoveries of Variable Stars by Amateur Astronomers Using Data Mining: On the Example of Eclipsing Binary Romanov V20".

Now we are in Primorsky Krai of Russia https://vk.com/album213781868_260731878 . We do not have money for a lawyer/attorney to go to court, but I can not continue to be homeless with my many diseases. I really need help.

I have the opportunity to communicate with people (who will have the desire and opportunity to help me, my mother and our old cat) - on my pages on social networks:
