Did I say Russia was becoming Kafkaesque? I take it back, it's more like a play by Ionesco.
(Ivan does a mix of things, from travelogue to car culture to politics. Obviously, he's determined never to go back to Russia)

of things like drone strikes against ammo storage on the border of a Baltic country posted to Telegram. They want the crappy, grainy, crummy stuff no one will look at.
will always get the best of everything, although they're having to pay a lot more for it these days. The bit about the Chinese cars is striking more at the aspirational class. The i-phone ban is striking at most people under 30, who might have third hand phones, but they're still better than anything produced by Russia or China.
