Documents
Sunday, November 14th, 2010 at 9:00 pm by ErkinToday on the metro the police checked my documents again. Third time this month. Our Iradi passport they look at a long time, they don't know it. "Irad? Where is this?" I say: near Kyrgyzstan. "So you are Kyrgyz." No, I am Iradi. "Same thing." Then the registration, the work permit, the stamp, 500 roubles "for coffee".
Five years in Moscow. I built nine houses. Never once was I inside one of them after.
