Lake Ryngis

On the way back from Sejny, the high winds were blowing the reeds and the freshly tilled topsoil away.

I drove back this way, in part to prevent myself stopping to tell the policemen who stopped me on the way out that they are in effect no better than the Russian police in Mariupol. The Kurds that these 'obedient patriots' are sending back to the brutal charms of the Belarus soldiers have often been multiply raped and are starving and freezing cold. They have been bombed, shot at and gassed, in addition to many other indignities over the last 25 years at least.
