Man is drunk in Russian street. Cannot walk. Liver failure. Slowly killing himself and family with alcohol. Only thing that numb the pain. He leans against a fence while he walks. Must make it home. Trips over other drunk. Second drunk is lying in snow. First drunk say you are a disgrace lying around like pig. Second drunk say we see what you do when you run out of fence! First drunk run out of fence. Lie in snow. Cold envelops him. Slowly sinks into soft embrace of death. With last breath in body curses cruelty of motherland Russia. Body chewed on by stray dogs. Stray dogs chewed on by stray men. Such is life in Moscow.
