From "Samur"
...
We had to do that
Believe us
There was no other way out
The pineapple is up and the cigarettes, the coffee, the gasoline and the cotton wool, the ear drops – help!
Tomorrow we will be happy to deliver fresh cartridges, skins, a diesel generator, flashlights, antennas and axes.
The children have to be at home when it gets dark!
Nobody is allowed to leave the valley without the written permission of the authority.
The Central Committee of the Last Free Lesgines.
Drawn, 2017, Samur
(The Samur is a long river in Dagestan, home to various people of Rutuls, Lezgians and others.)
