The first to appear on the stage of the Tver Drama Theater was the deputy ataman of the Great Don Army, Vladimir Voronin. “We, the Cossacks, have decided on the Don,” Voronin announced, “we will worry, we will worry, we will shout and make noise until we understand what the configuration of power will be.” Then the chairman of the Krasnodar Regional Veterans Committee, Mikhail Shibanov, took the floor.

I am surprised at myself when I am drawn to Russia again. During 10 years of wandering, I was robbed many times, mocked at me, extorted money, I slept in dilapidated shacks, which for unclear reasons were called hotels, I ate the worst meals in my life. There was even an arrest for espionage.
