V. Sysoyev: “An Open Letter to Cartoonists”
The author (CCE 53-4) 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.”
