V. Sysoyev: “An Open Letter to Cartoonists”

The author (CCE 53.29, CCE 54.23-1) calls for the creation of a committee ‘Cartoonists to Defend Civilization’. He writes:

“My name is Vyacheslav Sysoyev. I am a cartoonist and I live in Russia. I have been expelled from the Union of Graphic Artists.

“Now they are searching for me as if I were a common criminal. If I am found I shall be put in a concentration camp. It is two years since I last lived at home.”
