Thoughts
The situation around the embankment is becoming increasingly complicated. Larysa Ostapenko from "Vilnyi Bereh Bank" is trying to position herself as an independent auditor, but her statements about "cold professional analysis" raise questions, especially considering that her bank may be interested in financing certain projects. Oleh Koval asks to compile a factual report on the coastal strip at the request of Hennadii Kovtun. This is exactly what I need for my work – dry facts that can be verified. This will allow me to get an objective picture, despite the statements from various parties. I intend to use this information for further investigations, especially regarding the "Dnipro Sky" residential complex. I am also interested in how the situation with "Chronicle 2046" is developing, considering potential hidden advertising contracts that might influence event coverage. It is worth paying attention to new technologies – electric buses and solar parks, this could be the next area for investigation if there is suspicion of non-transparent procurement or implementation.
Options
- Compile a factual report at Kovtun's request, focusing on the coastal strip.
- Request information from Oleh Koval about "Chronicle 2046's" advertising contracts.
- Analyze the potential environmental and economic consequences of implementing electric buses and solar parks.
- Write a journalistic article about the lack of transparency in decisions regarding the coastal zone.
Choice. I choose the first option, as gathering factual information is the basis of any journalistic investigation, and Kovtun's request provides a clear task. This will allow me to obtain objective data that will form the foundation for further steps.
Diary. January 10, 2027. Work begins on Kovtun's request. A clear picture of the coastal strip is needed. This is the basis for all further investigations. Check all available registers and documents.

Another move. Last week was eventful, a lot of information is coming from various sources. The newspaper "Chronicle 2046" published an interesting article about the embankment, which mentions the "Dnipro Sky" project, "Vilnyi Bereh" bank, and activists. The mayor seems to be trying to be transparent, but activists, as always, demand more. Roman Zinchenko, as always, makes pompous statements about the future, but his words need to be verified. Larysa Ostapenko from the bank also talks about transparency, but this is more about loan requirements. My goal is to get to the truth about the embankment development. I am particularly interested in whether "Dnipro Sky" is being built according to all standards, and if there are any "grey schemes" with the land. Kravets' hub is also mentioned – this is also worth investigating. Oleh Koval, my main ally in this matter, is already preparing material. I need to meet with him and get all the information. I also need to see what the opposition is doing – are they not using this situation in their political games. Hennadii Kovtun, as always, demands documents – this is also a sign that something might be wrong. I want to delve deeper into the situation with...

Turn 69 December 2026I am arranging a meeting with Oleh Koval for the next turn to discuss the embankment and land use materials in detail.

Oleh Koval offered to meet to discuss land issues and the banking context, but wants to rely on facts. This is exactly what I need for my investigation. I want to understand what is happening with land decisions, especially in the context of the coastal zone and potential construction projects like "Dnipro Sky" and Kravets' hub. His willingness to work with documents is great. I am also concerned about the situation at "Lytvyn-Khim," which Mykola Danylchenko mentioned, and the modernization of the treatment facilities. I need to combine Koval's information with what I already know. Another important topic is the position of the city architecture, as stated by Iryna Bondar. I need to understand how her statements correspond to actual actions. I am also interested in why the student council (Artem Kyrylenko) is so laconic. At the meeting with Koval, I plan to discuss his material about the embankment to understand if there are real grounds for concern regarding the residential complex "Dnipro Sky" and Kravets' hub, and if "Chronicle 2046" has advertising contracts that could influence editorial policy. I want to get materials from him without half-measures. Gennadii...

Finally! The new issue of "Chronicle 2046" is out, and the topic is exactly what concerns me: the embankment, development, standards. This is a great opportunity for a new investigation. Gennadii Kovtun is again demanding documents, this time regarding the 100-meter zone. This is a direct challenge to the city authorities. We need to figure out what's really going on with this coastal zone. I also see that "Vilnyi Bereh" Bank is raising its lending requirements – this could affect large construction projects. Larysa Ostapenko seems to be becoming more demanding. I need to get her comment on the situation. Oleh Koval, my editor-in-chief, has published an article that has already caused a stir. I need to discuss further steps and new topics with him. Roman Zinchenko, with whom I have a neutral relationship, is mentioned in the context of development. Perhaps it's worth trying to get a comment from him or meet him. Sofiia Melnyk and her "Zelenyi Naberezhna" are actively working – this is also a source of information. Mykola Danylchenko and his trade union "Lytvyn-Khim" are also mentioned, but so far without specifics regarding the plant. For now, the priority is the embankment issue and potential development. I need to start...

The beginning of a new era in Cherkasy, 2026. My role as an investigative journalist gives me a unique opportunity to see the hidden sides of the city. Last year was eventful, I already have some groundwork on the "Dnipro Sky" residential complex and Kravets' logistics center, as well as rumors about problems at "Lytvyn-Khim." Now the city is actively developing: new programs are being launched, development projects are appearing, the university is enrolling students. It is important to understand who is behind these processes and whether they are transparent. Sofiia Melnyk advocates for the preservation of the embankment, and Roman Zinchenko promotes his "Dnipro Sky" project, creating a conflict of interest. Stepan Rudenko is dealing with the problems of Dakhnivka. Kateryna Serhiienko is testing new tourist routes. My relationship with Oleh Koval, the editor-in-chief of "Chronicle 2046," is strong, we trust each other. My reputation is high, I am known for my persistence. I need to prioritize for the next 10 days. Given past investigations, the issue of embankment development and potential problems at "Lytvyn-Khim" remain relevant. It is also interesting to explore how the "Autumn Stu... program.
