„I remember the martial law period very well. On 14 December, when I came to work, I was sent home on leave. I was allowed to return to work at the end of January, and then the verification of all the employees of the publishing house began. I was verified negatively and dismissed from work. (...) Later, after a court appeal, I was reinstated. But there was no work for me. I came to work every day and sat there for several hours. I was also interviewed for some time to try to persuade me to leave my job. I think they wanted to mobilise me for this kind of activity (opposition activity)“.
