Saratov

Major Saratov had certainly called the turn in his description of the map.

At Saratov, for example, the strike of postal workers and telegraphers lasted a month and a half.

Analogous manifestations took place at Moscow, at Saratov and other cities; everywhere they were accompanied by shootings.

In other words, it was quite evident that Major Saratov was inwardly bidding them a very permanent farewell.

Major Saratov, and a few other Soviet officers, had been present to wish them all well, and Godspeed back.
