That’s it. Expelled. Yashin voted "against." Borshchev "abstained." Everyone else voted "for." Because security, acting on Yavlinsky’s instructions, did not allow me to be present from the start of the meeting, I delivered my Denunciatory Speech (TM) and left, saying that I had no intention of taking part in this district Komsomol committee meeting (a sarcastic reference to Soviet-style political bureaucracy). I’ll post the Denunciatory Speech (TM) later. Mitrokhin surprised me: according to yashin, after I had already left, he said that "his anti-Yabloko speeches were paid for." And I’d actually regretted not adding a few kind words about him at the end of the Denunciatory Speech (TM). After all, we worked together for so many years. Yavlinsky prudently left before I was allowed into the building, and when my case was being considered, he never showed up. Apparently he was hiding in his office, staring out the window and dreaming about how he would become president. A brave man.
