Great Rice cycle by great Soviet duo. It was awarded 1st Prize in the Czechoslovak newspaper shortly after the Prague spring. The comments in the award said, however, that the authors surely won't mind that their money prize will be used for reparation of damages caused by the Red Army in Czechoslovakia...
