I strained every sinew beyond limits... Everything looked blurred, I felt brackish metallic flavour in my mouth but to turn a bar stuck into the frozen soil at a depth of around 50 to 70 centimetres... No! It was impossible to do that alone! But Khokhrin strictly forbade helping each other! At the end of the working shift the whole team made this job at my expense. Thus my earnings after 12 hours of hard labour were reduced to zero. A delimber at a neighbouring lodging site after all-day work was in 4 roubles and 20 kopecks debt. Certainly I started this subject at an evening meeting. It's a wonder how Kokhrin managed to sophisticate the meaning of my speech in his next denunciation!
