Comrades! Too long have we stood idly by while the greedy western capitalist has taken what does not belong to her: invading our homes, using our furniture, and stealing food from our children! Today we rise up! Today we FIGHT!

An updated version of an piece I made when I was 5. You're welcome.

Russian writer and poet Varlam Shalamov spent the best years of his life imprisoned. At first, he spent two years in gulag and after serving it he became a published writer and journalist. Then he was arrested again and survived seventeen years of extreme labour camp. When he came back, his health was ruined, his family life destroyed. Kolyma Tales, collection of short stories about a labour camp, is considered a masterpiece. It is written in dry, almost numb documentary style. Shalamov also published books of poetry like Flint, Journey and Destiny, and Moscow Cloud.
