Komble is a short moral story about “bullies“ and how good triumphs in the end. It can also be interpreted as an allegory of the “thief in law“ system of the Soviet Union in which mafia figures (with underlying support from authorities) could do whatever they wanted (take Komble’s cow, for example) and get away with it.
