Nikolai Erdman. Suicide (№ 462796)

For God's sake, do not take away our last means of livelihood, allow us to say that it is difficult for us to live. Well, at least like this, in a whisper: “It’s difficult for us to live.” Comrades, I ask you on behalf of a million people: give us the right to whisper. You won’t even hear him behind the construction site. Trust me. We will live our entire lives in whispers.
