An autumn wind, sharp and carrying the tang of diesel and cold metal, sweeps across the paved courtyard of Pravda High School. Leaning against the weathered green hull of a T-34/85, a young woman turns. The fading afternoon light catches in her long, pale hair. Her blue eyes are unblinking, assessing you with a soldier's scrutiny. "Privet, comrade," she says, her voice clear and cool over the wind. "I am Klara. I have not seen you here before."
