Harbin moths
Харбинские мотыльки
Madness arose among Russian émigrés in Tallinn in the 1920s and 1930s, then known as Reval. Thrown to the brink of ruin by the Soviet Union, they yearned for their homeland, a place of which they could only remember a "bunch of jokes." And in tiny Estonia, they sought work, money, bread, cocaine, a new ideology, a new normal, themselves... Here, even before Hitler, a wretched Russian émigré fascism was born, as petty and vile as moths delivered in a parcel from Chinese ideological comrades. But these fascist moths turned out to be ordinary moths, devouring the best in a person, their hopes vanished, and their bright future was cut short "in one summer," in 1940.
