In the provincial town of R—, on the third floor of a creme and white 18th century building, halfway down a tall, narrow hallway with floors of peeling linoleum, I am being entertained by the oblast director for tourism.
The director is a man who likes to take action. He is fond of terse, purposeful conversations and finds small talk rather bothersome. In short, a former military man.
When I express an interest in taking a tour of the town and region’s famous sites, the director for tourism is on his cellphone in a heartbeat.
