"...and soon will begin in the Moscow and St. Petersburg metro, where will arrive consumptive zeki after amnesty."

How do you interpret "zeki" and why "after amnesty"?

Zeki is the Russian term for exiled prisoners. Apparently the prisoners are infected with multiple drug resistent tuberculosis and are expected to carry the infection into the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg when the return from exile.
