Yuri is a Frank Sinatra look-a-like, born in the Eastern Bloc who aspires to a simple life of sunflowers and fieldwork. In an effort to capture the heart of a beautiful Israeli immigrant, he joined the armed forces. Although this clashed with his pacifist nature, lust for young eastern Europeans is full of contradiction. His favorite drinking activity is "hot pigeon" (the old world version of what we call "hot potato") where when the accordians stop playing, the possessor of the pigeon has to bite its head off. This print captures Yuri in a moment of loss, surprised at the reaction from the Israeli girl who just asked "But, Yuri I thought you were a pacifist".
