The War
No, they won’t.
I don’t know, cheap.
They don’t pay a lot for a soldier.
We’re not commercial,
just slaves really.
How much for a commercial?
Depends.
There’s a market in Shatoi.
The prices go up and down there.
Buy one, order another…
“Order”?
Well, how do you “order” a murder?
Are you just off the moon?
But you’re talking
about gangsters!
Chechens are gangsters.
- All of them?
- Yes.
That’s the anger in you talking.
Well, you know best.
Listen, can I have a cigarette?
We were slaves.
We had to earn our food.
And what did you do?
Everything. In the fields,
sawing wood. All sorts.
Was it hard?
Not really. Anything’s better
than sitting in the cellar.
Only the nutcases
used to beat us.
They’d get high and have
some fun kicking us.
We wanted more food.
And there was no salt.
You coming to Petersburg?
No, I’m going home.
I want to be in time to get
into the Linguistics University
on the interpreter’s faculty…
You don’t know any English,
and the exams have finished.
My Mum was at school
with the rector.
And the military board will help.
Mum said I have
to be quick though.
