VITALY TCHERNENKO: I am so furious... They left me. They left me! For weeks, I did as I was told. I came to the consulate. I did not contact the DCD. I stayed hidden while an epidemic raged outside, and I might know better than anyone what is really going on. I hid so well, it seems, that they forgot to tell me of the evacuation. They left - this is a wonderful English phrase - in the dead of the night.
I have no words.
And now I am here, in the city under martial law, with no protection. There is only one benefit to this: Now there is no one to tell me I cannot contact DCD and offer my help. Or find Dr. Amherst. Now I am free. I hope it is not too late.
