Hello tanim90ru,
thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear about your situation.
Generally, you can arrive with a Schengen visa and apply for asylum once you are in Germany. You can find more information here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/visitor-visa#faq_298
However, people who have a chance of asylum usually are not issued a visa at all. You can learn more about the asylum procedure in Germany in our chapters registration, Asylum Prodecure and Residence Permit for Refugees.
You can also reach out to reporters without borders. Please find their emergency and assistance contact here: https://rsf.org/en/contact-us
Please let me know if you have further questions.
