Leo has qirimqaraylar roots (Crimean Karaites): one of turcic speaking indigenous people of Crimea, together with Crimean tatars and Krymtschaks. Crimean natives are heavily treated by the Russian occupation and settler colonialism. Leo raises questions about destroyed ecology without indigenous people and water distribution as a colonial tool.
