Letting Slip the Dogs of War. Lumix M4/3 14mm

The bizarre events in Russia last weekend:  Wagner Group's thug leader, Prigozhin, deciding to take on Vlad and the Russian military establishment by marching on Moscow, set my memory working. 
One of my high school history books, Modern Europe 1789-1945, by Denis Richards, is well illustrated by reproductions of contemporaneous Punch cartoons depicting the historical events related in the book.  In the 1870s, the small countries of the Eastern Adriatic - the Balkans - wanted their independence from the Turkish Empire, and began to flex their muscles against the overlord.  The Turks responded with great brutality, and Russia, seeing an opportunity to expand its hegemony, sought to leap to the aid of brother Slavs.  The clever cartoon depicts Russia, in supporting the struggles of Serbia, Montenegro, Herzegovina and Bosnia, unleashing the dogs of war on Turkey, while Britain, safe behind a fence, urges restraint in attacking Turkey.
How ironic: 150 years later, Vlad unleashed the dogs of war on Ukraine, using the Wagner mercenaries to achieve advances where the Russian  military has failed in its fight against fellow Slavs.  And the dogs have turned to bite the hand that feeds them.
We have not seen the end of what is unfolding in Russia and Belarus;  maybe, and hopefully, it helps the Ukrainian and Western cause...  No good actors here, though: Vlad, Prigozhin and Lukashenko?  A three-pack of psychopaths for Zelenskyy to contend with.

I superimposed the cartoon on a map of the Balkans taken from a Cassell's atlas from between the Wars.  It belonged to my maternal Grandfather.
