The Ivan Aufulich Papers
4. Mitya N. Sentluey
Mitya N. Sentluey ("Mitya" is a diminutive for "Dmitri") has not been seen at his usual vanaya (bathhouse) for weeks, and knowledgable insiders are beginning to whisper that he has been tried secretly, purged, and executed. If this is true, the potato collectives in Kirghizistan will have lost their most powerful protector, and the ever-popular free ballet tickets for the diplomatic corps will be a thing of the past.
