Mishah is back home. He has spent two hours in a cab (to and from Sheremetyevo) - and three hours on a plane (to and from Helsinki) - bought me a book about Anton Chekhov's niece (The Mystery of Olga Chekhova, by Antony Beevor), a toy puppy for Marta, a sixpack of Finnish beer (or two, or even three, I don't know) - and got fingerprinted, among other humiliating things. The way it appears now, he is barred from entering the Schengen Zone for the next three years.

Fucking assholes.
