Title
Suffering in Almaty
Description
The central image is a ruined city with seemingly dead bodies scattered about. One man kneels with arms outstretched to the sky, looking upward. Each corner of the illustration contains an inset image. In the upper left, a man and a woman dance. In the upper right, two men appear drunk, supporting each other to remain upright while each holding an arm upward in a celebratory gesture. In the lower right, several men recline on cushions and smoke. In the lower left, three men sit around a giant platter of pilau.
