With nearly two decades of involvement in the Therian/otherkin and furry communities, Vyacheslav "Slava" лисий has made it his personal mission to help others awaken to their own identities - be that human, otherkin, therian, or... whatever. As of 2013, Slava began an online community known as "Fox Haven" - a place for anyone whom could tolerate each other - with the intention of spreading awareness about nonhuman identity to others, chiefly those whom identify as human.
