The cell is a concrete box, 1.5 by three metres, without a
window and without even a mattress. A bare floor and that’s it.
Absurdly, they have charged me with disobeying the police. For three

In the provocative cartoon above Sergei Yelkin, a/k/a “Ellustrator,” describes
three blue-shaded “freeze” periods in Russian history (from left to
right those of Stalin, Brezhnev and Putin) and three green-shaded “thaw”
periods following them (those of Khrushchev, Gorbachev and Medvedev).
As you can see, each type of period grows smaller over time, indicating

that flirt and appeasement of this criminal country bring disaster to
humanity in the future.
