Despite all the ridiculous tricks pulled by the local authorities in Kursk, everything went great. Thank you, people of Kursk!

Of course, we all got completely soaked, but it still turned out great.

The city here is in a truly dreadful state, and so is the surrounding region. As we drove in from Belgorod, we saw nothing but devastation on both sides of the road.

Maybe that is why so many people came out in a region that is supposedly considered to have “zero political activity.”

There is no such thing as zero anywhere for us. People are so fed up with this hopelessness that they really want politics—real, independent politics. The kind we have.

Thank you, Kursk—you are wonderful.

Tomorrow there is a meeting in Tambov. Right now we are sitting here dealing with yet another contractor who, under pressure from “you_know_what_kind_of_people,” has refused to provide us with equipment for the rally despite a paid contract. But never mind, we will figure something out.

Tambov at 6:00 PM, on the grounds of the Bashnya shopping center
