HARD . If the Russian migrant worker’s contract allows unprovoked punishment, anything can happen. This sadist is in full flight. In between ten hard strokes of each of an army belt, a tawse, a hair brush, six different styles of straps, a heavy single tail whip, a crop, and a wooden paddle, the employer gives six sharp strokes of canes of varying thicknesses to neutralize the effect of each searing instrument. Thirty blazing strokes of the instrument the gastarbeiter finds most difficult end this ordeal. But the days and weeks ahead hold more and more fury.
