Description:
Prisoner Orloff was punished for trying to escape from a prison camp. He was severely punished by the guards with a line of soldiers armed with wooden sticks, who took turns whipping the prisoner. At the top of the composition, we see the conversation of Muslim cellmates with the younger Alei, in the middle, his bed was next to the author's. In the center of the black hole is the figure of a praying Muslim.

Заключенный Орлов был наказан за попытку сбежать из тюремного лагеря. Он был подвергнут очень жестокому наказанию со стороны охранников с шеренгой солдат, вооруженных деревянными палками, которые по очереди хлестали заключенного. Вверху композиции мы видим разговор сокамерников-мусульман с младшим Алеем, посередине, его кровать была рядом с авторской. В центре черной дыры находится фигура молящегося мусульманина.
