The vast and desolate countries of Central Asia

"Is the Master going to the Bazaar?"

"Master is sick."

The flag shows...

...that the Lama is praying...

...for recovery...

...the monk is a healer...

...and collector of offerings at the monastery.

"He is very sick!"

"My son will go with you."

The son.

"Get ready for the bazaar!"

"Saddle the horse!"

Furs for sale

"Wonderful skin!"

"Food for many months!"

"Five hundred silver."

"For the treatment of the body..."

...and the soul...

...a reasonable fee...

"Too little!"

"TOO LITTLE!"

The Lama lost...

...a sacred amulet

To bless the journey...

The bazaar

Those, who buy for pennies...

...and make millions.

Those, who guard...

...the interest of capitalism.

"There's a magnificent fox in the bazaar!"

Here they buy furs

"Food for many months!"

"Next!"

"Give the fox back!"

"LET GO!"

AVENGE THE WHITE MAN'S BLOOD!

"Get out!"

"Run!"

If within twenty-four hours...

...the criminal is not extradited to the authorities...

...the entire population...

...will be severely punished...

...AND FINED!

Into the taiga...

In the 1920s...

...in the mountains...

...for the power of the Soviets...

...partisans were fighting.

"Surrounded!"

"We must escape!"

"We've broken through!"

The Chief

A miner from the distant Donbass

Without the slightest noise...

The accidental onlooker

"Thank you, comrade!"

"Watch out!"

"Watch out!"

"WATCH OUT!"

"We must escape!"

No horse.

"Boot and saddle!"

Camp

"Keep in touch..."

"...with the Red Army."

"listen..."

"...Moscow..."

"listen..."

"...Moscow..."

To strengthen communication with the population...

...the Chief of the Occupation Forces...

...and his wife...

...are going to visit a large monastery.

Diplomacy requires...

...special forms...

...and preparations.

Before departing

"The Commandant has ordered the immediate collection of two hundred head of cattle from the nearest villages."

"Straightaway!"

It is far from the city to the monastery

Communication is being established...

Communication is being developed diplomatically

Communication is being strengthened in fact

"Ride and tell them the soldiers are coming..."

SACRED DANCES

"Before the sun sets, all the stolen cattle must be gathered here!"

Or...

The cattle trail...

"Prepare to speak..."

"...on behalf of the empire..."

"...with the great immortal lama..."

"...whose soul eternally moves from the deceased body to the new one."

"Prepare!"

Himself...

...The Great...

...Immortal...

...Wise...
