24 million Soviets dead in WW2 is the main point.

Minsk Agreement, broken by Ukraine. Germany admitting that peace deal with Russia was a lie, an excuse to build up weapons.

Actually, the play sounds like it has two authors; the first author writing from the perspective of a psychopath; in as much that psychopaths tend to play make believe in their minds that some how their crimes are always revenge for some imaginary wrong that was done to them.

Some time later, the ending of the play was changed, so as to have it that Barabas died instead; but as we see in life itself; jack-the-ripper, lived happily ever after.

Fairly as well, with broken heart; Barabas is the entirety of humanity.
