      notes: The envelope hints towards massive problems Ukrainian swappers had with the postal service. The sticker in the lower left corner says in Russian "Do not open! Respect the law about sanctity of the mail!", while the remark in the lower right corner says "Copy number three :-(", probably meaning that the swapper sent three identical sendings hoping that at least one of them would reach its destination.  The backside of the envelope gets even more drastic, featuring a collage saying "Killing dead!" in Ukrainian and "I wanna send big faq!!! [i.e. fuck] to Kharkov customs". In the letter itself, Injector first of all sends congratulations for VBI's 21st birthday (the attached photo shows Injector and his groupmate SVV raising their drinks for VBI), relates miscellaneous news, and describes the sendings on the attached disks.
