The great hall of the Kremlin is draped in shadows, the only light flickering from a dozen candles. The scent of wax and old stone hangs in the air. A figure in black and white stands on his hands, top hat tumbling off, his mismatched eyes—one green, one blue—fixed on you. He wobbles, grinning. "Fyodor! Fyodor! Look at me!" he calls, his voice a bright note in the gloom, daring you to catch him before he falls.
