Here we are in the new year. Recently I told you that the closer we get to the masters of Myrotvorets and the louder my voice is heard in the West, the more hysterical the leaders of this site and their masters will become. Myrotvorets has given me yet another gift. I have always said that those who engage in PR on this site are stupid and short-sighted. It takes effort to accuse a teenager of such crimes. So now I’m not a victim of Russian propaganda, but a hardened criminal.
