Happy Forays into the Valleys of Silence

Abraham Lesperoglou invaded our landscape, the young insurgent anarchists in the 1980s, after the Battle of Gyzi and the death of Christos Tsouchouvis. He was one of the “two trapped, still not found, as if the earth opened up and swallowed them,” as Katerina Gogou captures in her poem, in a way that only she knew.

And then, there was a person who was mythical to us, not even twenty years old. This photo of the tough – but with a subtle irony – face with the hair and moustache was the only trace he left behind, as the number one wanted man for the action of the Anti-State Struggle: two cops dead in a robbery in Galati, a deceased prosecutor, the three cops of Gyzi, but also a seriously wounded cop in an earlier gold expropriation.
