Hang in there while we get back on track
The description provided by the artist:
"В Чорному морі є острів скеля Зміїний (там навіть води немає але є селище Біле). Наші прикордонні війська залягають в бій, але по рації до них звертається ватажок Руського воєнного коробля- Здавайтеся! Їм (насправді там була ціла армада в два кораблі і декілька катерів) відповів наш вояк- радист: Руський Воєнний корабель йди на Хуй!. По ним стріляли з усіх боків, і коли вже не було чим відповідати то їх захопили в полон. Але ми всі думали, про їхню загибель. Це стало прикладом для всіх наших вояків."
"In the Black Sea, there's an island known as Snake Island (there's not even any water there, but there's a settlement called Bile). Our border troops were gearing up for a battle when the leader of the Russian warship attempted to negotiate with them: "Surrender!" In reply, one of our soldiers, a radio operator, retorted: "Fuck Off, Russian Warship!" They came under fire from all directions, and when they had no more words, they were captured as prisoners. Nevertheless, we all feared for their fate. This incident served as an example for all our soldiers."
The technique used: Diluted gouache, acrylic, ballpoint pen.
