    Threadmarks: Helsinki blues

    July 24, 1918 Helsinki Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic Kullervo Manner's office looked less like a seat of government and more like a provincial clerk's waiting room that had accidentally declared itself a republic.

    July 3, 1918 Finland Station Petrograd, Russian SFSR The trip back from Murmansk was—against all odds—easier than expected.

    Threadmarks: Never admit defeat

    May 15, 1918 Murmansk Russia I stood on the edge of the ruined harbor, the smell of burnt wood and saltwater clinging to the morning air like a cheap cologne you can't wash off. The sea was calm now, though it still reeked faintly of oil from the ships we'd scuttled. In the distance, the wreck...

    May 7, 1918 Winter Palace Petrograd, Russia Stalin sat in the Central Committee chamber of the former Winter Palace, his brother-in-law Aleksandr Svanidze beside him, quietly shuffling papers. Outwardly, Stalin presented his usual mask — calm, unreadable, lips set in a faint frown. Inside...

    December 30, 1917 Smolny Institute Petrograd, Russia Night had fallen in the city, and in my heart, but that didn't matter. The room I was in smelled faintly of dust and old paper—a bureaucrat's tomb. A single bare bulb swung overhead, its light cutting sharp angles across the walls. The...

    December 25, 1917 Winter Palace Petrograd, Russia We entered the Winter Palace at dusk, stepping over the palace grounds like intruders in a cathedral desecrated by its own parishioners. Stalin walked first, as always—prim, stiff, pretending not to enjoy the sound of his boots on imperial...
