22.02.2014 20:48 – OW: “Hello! This is good, and right in time! There are plenty of customers! They are really interested to find out when’s the time? But they refused to add anymore, just like I told you; later, if we are lucky …”

22.02.2014 20:50 – SV: “They aren’t Jews, but behave the same … But, judging from the plan on the top, new deliveries will start in the first days of March.”

22.02.2014 20:51 – OW: “It will suit most of them. There is one here, keeps pushing for a delivery in five days.”

22.02.2014 20:51 – SV: “We’ll have to wait – we can’t be moving them one by one, can we???”

22.02.2014 20:57 – OW: “Fine, better remind me, who will you send for the removal?”

22.02.2014 20:58 – SV: “We can’t count on the locals; these “moralists” are very hard to convince, damn them!!! So, we’ll have to use your employees; perhaps I’ll get the Israelis to come…”

22.02.2014 20:59 – OW: “My employees will only add to the costs! I will visit you on Tuesday, as promised, and we’ll decide them, there will still be time.”

22.02.2014 21:03 – SV: “Understood; call me then.”

22.02.2014 21:03 – OW: “Till we meet.”

12.03.2014 17:00 – OW: “Did you say you’ll be coming here?”

12.03.2014 17:01 – SV: “Yes, I was going to, why?”

12.03.2014 17:01 – OW: “We have something to discuss about our conditions; get the ticket and fly here.”

12.03.2014 17:01 – SV: “Not sooner than the day after tomorrow. What other conditions do you have???”

12.03.2014 17:02 – OW: “New information; come here and find out.”

12.03.2014 17:03 – SV: “I think the next day after our plane I’ll fly out, will you meet me? You owe me a tour …”

12.03.2014 17:07 – OW: “Let’s see when I finish work. If you will be coming after ours, I might not make it. We’ll get in touch later.”

18.03.2014 20:23 – SV: “Good, Semyon. Did you set everything up for our German comrades and for the Jews?”

18.03.2014 20:24 – SS: “Yes, they are working under good protection.”

18.03.2014 20:48 – SS: “What did you decide about your request?”

18.03.2014 20:55 – SV: “I’ll send your body kits tomorrow, the first order that you made. There is a shortage of 5th level for now, but there may be a batch coming in the near future.”

18.03.2014 20:58 – SS: “Thank you, we are waiting, and the guys are already risking a lot! Be so kind, let them not at the top, our work order. We need another 7 cars with flashing lights (white) specifically to provide transportation for your topic, but there must be 5th level on board.”

18.03.2014 20:59 – SV: “Are you talking about the armour?”

18.03.2014 20:59 – SS: “Yes, it is very important now in our conditions!”

23.03.2014 21:39 – SV: “I will write to you. Is everything going smoothly?”

23.03.2014 21:39 – OW: “All good. It’d be preferable if you sent it over the next couple of days.”

23.03.2014 21:40 – SV: “Olga, please understand that you can’t plan it; they act quickly, depending on the situation. As soon as I find any more material, I’ll let you know.”

15.04.2014 21:25 – SV: “Yes, passing it on.”

15.04.2014 21:25 – OW: “Judging by the news, the events will help our business. What do you think, will they turn course?”

15.04.2014 21:31 – SV: “Not anticipating it, we’ll have a lot to work with! Our “Western partners” with their policies are setting good conditions and, importantly – quantity!”

15.04.2014 21:36 – OW: “Well, alright, then I will keep on signing up interested parties.”

3 May 2014

03.05.2014 21:18 – SV: “Did you get the last batch alright? We sent it with some delay, how did it fare?”

03.05.2014 21:32 – OW: “A few of the items were wasted, Seryozha! You know the permissible time! One of the customers was left dissatisfied, but is willing to wait for the next ones; don’t delay.”

03.05.2014 21:45 – SV: “When will you confirm the numbers?”

03.05.2014 21:46 – OW: “Tomorrow.”

4 May 2014

04.05.2014 19:12 – OW: “17 cor, 50 nep 15 hep, 30 pan, 5 pul. Here are your Western partners. They have a lot of diabetes patients, so the demand is there.”

10 May 2014

10.05.2014 22:04 – OW: “The orders are growing; do you have enough people? Confirm receipt: 15 cor, 63 nep, 35 hep, 20 pan, 5pul.”

10.05.2014 22:07 – SV: “Got it. For now we manage with the same resources; only thing they work more intensively (no one refuses a large income) …”

22 May 2014

22.05.2014 21:43 – OW: “Did you get the numbers?”

22.05.2014 21:43 – SV: “Yes, and passed them on already.”

22.05.2014 21:45 – OW: “Seryozha, I gave you another order, but in the last batch there was a lot of substandard merchandize!!! You are letting me down with this.”

22.05.2014 21:49 – SV: “Olya, you haven’t been here and haven’t see HOW it all happens; and the conditions are getting more and more difficult.”

22.05.2014 21:51 – OW: “You were able to find the right quantity, that’s good of course, but the quality suffers. My people get access to the material too late!!! Clients are waiting here.”

22.05.2014 21:56 – SV: “They’ll wait, don’t worry, who else could they go to? Where else could they find it??? And meahwhile, here there is shooting, shells are exploding, how can I get your people here? Be they my specialists or yours – it is very difficult to ensure their safety, please understand. We are forced move the materials ourselves!”

22.05.2014 22:03 – OW: “Maybe we should go back to the way things were? At least there is access to the with heavy and terminal patients, and the conditions aren’t much worse?”

22.05.2014 22:05 – SV: “On my side, there can be no talk of this, and you were told the same by Nalivaichenko in your last conversation! Too much risk of a leak and too many questions from local staff; I don’t want anything to do with this anymore!”

22.05.2014 22:10 – OW: “Then do it as you did in Alexandrovka!!! Don’t undermine me! Look for more material, so there is better choice.”

22.05.2014 22:13 – SV: “There is enough material; it’s difficult to transport it. Even though Senya (not Yatsenuk, my own) promised to help.”

22.05.2014 22:14 – OW: “The next order will be ready by July; you’ll get in touch with me through the new channel; bye.”

22.05.2014 22:14 – SV: “Bye, good luck to us.”

26 May 2014

26.05.2014 17:25 – SV: “Semyon, are you available?”

26.05.2014 17:26 – SS: “Yes, listening.”

26.05.2014 17:29 – SV: “We got problems with the last batch!!! A lot of bad quality material, our customers are dissatisfied! We need to do everything on time! Speed it up, because if you don’t make it in 14 hours from the time of extraction – we only get 30% of the price! And that means you don’t get your equipment, do you understand?”

26.05.2014 17:33 – SS: “I know, Sergey Vladimirovich. We are trying, we have many losses; just in the last go we lost more than 20 guys!”

26.05.2014 17:34 – SV: “Then take others! Don’t you have enough people?”

26.05.2014 17:35 – SS: “There aren’t many left, and I can’t put just anyone on this job.”

26.05.2014 17:40 – SV: “Keep working. The next extraction must be made by instruction, do it right! Otherwise, you don’t just undermine me!”

8 June 2014

08.06.2014 12:42 – OW: “Hi. I could not call you yet; at least I got you here … A new order: 13 cor, 55 nep, 30 hep, 15 pan, 3 pul.”

08.06.2014 12:43 – SV: “Sure, once we get the Israeli one done, we’ll send it right away.”

08.06.2014 12:43 – OW: “Waiting.”

15 June 2014

15.06.2014 21:16 – SV: “Olya, you haven’t gotten in touch in a long time! What’s happening?”

15.06.2014 21:18 – OW: “Everything is fine, except prices are dropping. But we continue working.”

15.06.2014 21:20 – SV: “Did you get the first “advance” portion of the goods?”

15.06.2014 21:21 – OW: “It arrived already. They liked this scheme here; they are ready to pay for speed. I am still confirming the second portion.”

15.06.2014 21:25 – SV: “Just make sure you hurry; there is a big one coming up – we shouldn’t loose the chance!”

15.06.2014 21:26 – OW: “Ok, the meeting is in the evening; I will report immediately.”

16 June 2014

16.06.2014 00:38 – OW: “I took care of everything; in addition to what you sent, we need AGAIN: 8 cor, 28 nep, 13hep, 6 pan, 2 pul.”

16.06.2014 00:41 – SV: “Understood. Good thing you clarified in time – no desire to load up on extras!”

16.06.2014 00:42 – OW: “If there will be an overlimit – no trouble, I think I will the use for it …”

16.06.2014 00:47 – SV: “Alright, we’ll see how many we get. I’m gone, too much to do.”

27 June 2014

27.06.2014 21:54 – SS: “Sergey Vladimirovich, I was able to get in touch with Bes [Note: Russian for demon. The Bes referenced here likely is a Ukrainian commander stationed at Karachun Mount, also nicknamed Bes, not the Militia’s Bezler], we discussed your question.”

27.06.2014 21:55 – SV: “Ok, how did he react?”

27.06.2014 21:57 – SS: “Just like we anticipated, at first adamantly against, but I was able to get him interested! … He’ll give me his final answer once he visits the location.”

28 June 2014

28.06.2014 01:13 – SS: “He responded. Took care of the problems; giving us the green light, so we can work.”

28.06.2014 01:20 – SV: “Alright, but keep on your toes with this Bes, so he does not turn into around …”

28.06.2014 01:22 – SS: “Don’t worry, we’ll find something to convince him with!”
