I hadn’t realised you visited St Petersburg, Fay. I knew you’d been to Moscow. Where else in Russia did you go, and how long were you in Russia for? It would have been such a different place in 1980

There was a small army of gardeners there the day we visited – mowing, weeding, pruning. There are also a few ‘private’ graves there and they are not very well looked after – tilting headstones, weeds, kinda hidden in trees. The cemetery is now closed to ‘new business’
