Annotation
«On the wide road in tundra the train Vorkuta-Amsterdam dashes on», - sings desperately a short plumpish person in a knitted "beanie" hat.
His strong voice spreads through sterile walls of incredibly comfortable Holland prison, where two alarmed prison guards walk him holding his hands hard but politely and listening attentively to the sounds of an unfamiliar song. Why would the exemplary Russian prisoner named Lyamkin start to “kick up a rumpus” all of a sudden? Just when he was supposed to be released early for impact working?
