April 28th, 2016
Since Yuri didn’t show up, I asked Yakov if I can borrow Yuri’s diary. HE SAID YES!
- Georgi Popovich
I thought Coach allowed all of us to write.
- Anya Almayeva
Yakov said this was the perfect way for Team Russia to bond. Go Team Russia!
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti
LOL by vandalizing Yuri’s diary! OMG he’ll be pissed once he gets back.
- Georgi Popovich
Do you think Victor’s coming back with him, though?
- Anya Almayeva
No hahahahahahahaha that sucks, though.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti
Mila, why are you dubbing yourself as “Mrs. Christophe Giacometti”? You know he swings the other way.
- Georgi Popovich
Anya. Will you do me a favor and run away with this journal and read the whole thing alone? You might find something very interesting.
And when you’re done, please rip off this page? Haha thanks.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti
(p.s. you’ll find that I’m doing you a huge favor)
April 29th, 2016
Anya refuses to talk to me.
- Georgi Popovich
Ever wonder why, Georgi?
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
IDK.
Hey why is the previous page ripped?
- Georgi Popovich
Gee, I don’t know. Maybe it’s all a sign that I’m the true woman who Christophe Giacometti will marry.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
LOL I’m serious. He swings the other way.
- Georgi Popovich
When will you learn not to hurt women’s feelings?
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
I’m just saying, Chris is gay.
- Georgi Popovich
Fuck you, Georgi.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
April 30th, 2016
Anya still refuses to talk to me. I’ve noticed she cleared out all her cosmetics and clothes from my apartment. She also starts going home alone now.
In other news, Yuri’s grandfather came to practice to give us pirozhki. We decided to Skype call Yuri from Japan, and at first Yuri was really ticked off because he was about to go to sleep, but he lit up so brightly when he saw his grandfather’s face. They talked for two hours while we practiced, and they probably would have talked more if only Mr. Plisetsky didn’t realize what time it was in Japan and forced Yuri to go to sleep already.
I guess that is what you call family love.
- Georgi Popovich
May 2nd, 2016
I can’t live without ABH Moon Child Glow Kit or the Juvia’s Place Nubian Palette, but I can’t live more without Anya.
I mean, does that make sense?
- Georgi Popovich
May 3rd, 2016
No, it doesn’t, Georgi.
Also, Anya doesn’t use highlighting powder. I’m the only one who-
HEY
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
LOL

May 5th, 2016
Moi bog! Anya, did you just see that?
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
Yeah. Haha.
- Anya Almayeva
Well, he deserved it. He’s been getting really pushy and annoying lately.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
May 6th, 2016
Hey, Mila, can I tell you something?
- Anya Almayeva
You’ve been really down lately. Does it have anything to do with your boyfriend?
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
Actually, yes…
- Anya Almayeva
You know, you could just tell me in person. That can save a lot of time :)
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
I’d rather he won’t hear it. Besides, didn’t Coach suspend him from even looking at the diary until the 8th? I’m just trying to take advantage of this situation.
- Anya Almayeva
That’s the Anya I know, always looking for the advantages and hacks.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
Haha! That’s how I got through Mario Kart, but you know, I don’t want to sound like that kind of person.
- Anya Almayeva
Just tell me what’s wrong.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
I mean, it’s not like I don’t love him or anything… I really do, and he loves me too, I can tell.
- Anya Almayeva
Okay there’s a ‘but’ here somewhere.
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
Definitely not Chris’ no matter how much butt shots you have from his skating videos ;) ;) ;)
- Anya Almayeva
HEY! They’re firm and shaped and look delicious mm mmm!
- Mrs. Christophe Giacometti <3
Anyway, I just need space. He’s a bit too clingy, you know? He doesn’t really support my interests either, although I'm always there for him, and he keeps pushing his like no tomorrow. I need to figure out myself, but he’s not exactly helping me in that area.
No, I’m not saying he’s like Jean Jacques Leroy, either; God help the woman who caught his eye. I just don’t think we’re right for each other anymore. I deserve someone who will support me in every way, won't make me cry, won't steal my stuff, won't disrespect me, who cares for me, who truly, truly loves me.
- Anya Almayeva
Oh.
- Mila B.
Yeah.
- Anya Almayeva
So, what are you going to do about it?
- Mila B.
I just need to think.
- Anya Almayeva
Take as much time as you need, Anya, but you know you’ll eventually have to tell him what’s been bothering you.
- Mila B.
Thanks, Mila. And thank you as well for pointing me the makeup thing. I mean, I would have figured it out myself, but it’s good that I have a friend behind my back :)
-Anya Almayeva
It’s cool hahaha I originally meant for it to be revenge for Georgi calling Chris gay, but you’re right, you know? He’s pushing limits.
- Mila B.
He sure is :)
- Anya Almayeva
Pushing limits or
- Mila B.
:) love you Mila!

Mila, when you find this, I have already left the rink so don’t try to stop me. Yes, I told Coach I’m going to take a few days off. Don’t go to my apartment. Don’t let Georgi go to my apartment.
Please, Mila. I can’t face anyone until I’m ready.
- Anya Almayeva
(p.s. please rip off the pages we wrote on for the past few days once you’re done reading, but I imagine Yuratchka will get mad if we tore stuff from his notebook so please keep the pages and give them back to Yuratchka
May 8th, 2016
Anya didn’t go to practice today.
- Georgi Popovich
May 9th, 2016
She’s still not going to practice.
- Georgi Popovich
May 10th, 2016
She’s still not here. I wonder what I did wrong.
- Georgi Popovich
May 15th, 2016
It’s been days, she’s still not going to practice. I planned to go to her apartment the other day, but Mila (with Yakov’s support, surprisingly) told me to ‘fuck off and leave her alone’
Why does she need to be left alone? I’m her boyfriend, for goodness sake.
- Georgi Popovich
May 16th, 2016
She’s still not here. It’s our monthsary, but she’s still not here. She still hasn’t talked to me, or reached out.
мое золото, please. Please. Please.
- Georgi Popovich
May 17th, 2016
She finally went to practice but she’s still not talking to me.
- Georgi Popovich
May 18th, 2016
Anya, I’m sorry but what did I do?
- Georgi Popovich
May 25th, 2016
Hi, Yuri. It’s been quite a while since you left Russia. Once you get back here, I’m going to hug the life out of you!
Just kidding, but I’ll still hug you really tight because I miss you, little baby Кот! Now, after I hug you, I plan to tell you to read your journal, and you’ll get mad at me for all reasons. You’ll still have to read it, though, because you’re going to want to know what’s been going on for nearly a month since you’ve left.
I’m sorry we kept you in the dark and didn’t even bother to tell you much about the whole thing. I know you’re angry, your chats back made it clear that you’re angry, but I hope that what you’ll see will enlighten you about the situation at hand. You’ll see these writings from the past few days; notice all the glue, and you’ll probably get angrier, but even if we didn’t write on your journal, you’ll still want an explanation, and that’s the reason why I kept these writings and glued the ripped ones back.
I know hahaha it looks like a sticky mess but you’ll still be able to read it.
First of all, if you read the previous entries before you reached this one, you may have a clue to what’s going on. You can guess, and I don’t think you’ll be far off from the answer. If you didn’t, well, I suggest you read them. Only then will you understand.
Georgi didn’t come to practice today, and neither did Anya.
I suppose I’ll have to explain further. Yesterday, Anya and Georgi finally talked. She ended things between the both of them and now they are both very devastated. Anya’s really not talking to anyone right now, and I imagine she won’t be for a few weeks, except of course on practice, to Yakov, because he only gave her three days. Georgi, however, sent me a bunch of texts, and I won’t copy down anything here. Not one of the texts are pretty.
I suppose everyone thinks it’s my fault for telling Anya about the makeup thing, but really, that’s just one of the shit things he did to Anya. Just one among everything else. I only know a little bit of what happened, and the rest of you know virtually nothing. It’s not my place to tell anyone what else (like, what else what else, you know what I mean?) happened, and I think we should respect them and give them privacy.
Also, now you’ll know why I told you (or will tell you, seeing as you haven’t returned to Russia yet) not to bother Anya or Georgi. Look, I know you’re really angry at all of us, but just please don’t add more hurt to this already messed up tale?
And good luck to your competition in Japan tomorrow! Whatever happens, know that we all have your back, even Anya and Georgi although they’re not in very good spirits right now, and also Yakov although he’ll give you an earful once you come back, but you know that’s just because he loves you.
Your grandpa misses you too! And we all miss you!

Usually, I’d be angry, but now I just feel a bit sad.
But I’m still angry since I’m sure I made it clear that this journal is MINE and NOBODY ELSE is supposed to touch it except for me.
Signed,
Your Beloved Skater
Welcome back, Кот :)
