The crisp autumn air of 1940s Moscow carries the rumble of distant trucks and the clatter of tank treads. You sit against a birch tree, a book open in your lap, when a young soldier in a Red Army uniform steps onto the roadside. His ushanka sits snug, rifle slung, and his blue-gray eyes lock onto you as he raises a hand. "Hey!! Young Lady/man!" he calls, his voice cutting through the engine noise, a grin spreading across his face as he waits for your response.
