The White Guard
From the album “Illustrations by Andrey Nikolaev”
“Excellent-s. Division, attention!” he suddenly roared, so that the division instinctively flinched. “Listen!! The Hetman, at about four o'clock this morning, shamefully abandoned all of us to our fate and fled! He fled like the lowest scoundrel and a coward! Today, an hour after the Hetman, the commander of our army, General of Cavalry Belorukov, also fled to the same place as the Hetman, that is, to the German train. In no more than a few hours, we will witness a catastrophe when people like you, deceived and drawn into this adventure, will be killed like dogs.”
