-23°C this morning. No school because of the cold, but I had to go to the studios of Channel 1+1 for the news programme. Bags under my eyes, feeling like I’d been squished beneath a steamroller. Still half asleep, I made a few confused remarks about the political situation and then went home.
Yesterday’s main news was that Dmytro Bulatov, the leader of Automaidan, has been found – in a terrible state, but alive. He was abducted by unknown men on 22 January, and they tortured him for a long time in an attempt to make him answer this question: who is funding Automaidan? He never saw his torturers; he only heard them. On the night of the 22nd, he was hit on the head before being taken away. He was released in the Boryspil district, thrown from a car near a village. The last time, it was Yuriy Verbitsky who was released in this way: not near a village, but in the forest, and he was dead. The same people.
Yanukovych hides from the country’s eyes by taking sick leave. His other servants of the people are simply sick.
Theo, who had received 3,000 hryvnas for his birthday, gave us 1,000 back. He said 2,000 was enough. Thank you, Theo. Tomorrow he will use the 2,000 to pay for paintball and pizza. Theo and Anton have also agreed to save the money we would have spent on a restaurant. Instead, I will cook noodles in Thai sauce with chicken for dinner.
