The Escape of the Siberian Deportee
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”A Scout playing the role of an escaping Siberian deportee runs in any direction across snow, where tracks are clearly visible, until he finds a suitable hiding place in which to conceal himself. The rest of the patrol sets out 20 minutes later, following his tracks to reach his hiding place. When they come within a snowball’s throw, the hidden deportee aims snowballs at them, and each hit player steps out of the game. The pursuers also try to hit the deportee with snowballs. The deportee is allowed to take refuge in a tree, but must be hit three times before being considered “killed.” In summer, the game changes in that the deportee attaches tracking irons and fills his pockets with corn or peas, so that on rocky or muddy terrain, where tracks disappear, he can mark his path by dropping a grain or pea at each step. Snowballs are replaced either with pinecones or tennis balls (see “deer hunting” in the Introduction).
