The White Guard
From the album “Illustrations by Victor Prokofiev and Co”
The front door let in the cold, and before Alexey and Elena appeared a tall, broad-shouldered figure in a floor-length greatcoat and protective epaulets with three lieutenant's stars drawn on with a chemical pencil. His bashlyk was covered in hoarfrost, and a heavy rifle with a brown bayonet took up the entire hallway.
