Getting Out of Russia Continues With Quixotic Flight
An American traveler details a chaotic late escape from Russia via Intourist officers at the Moscow passport office. After a 25 rouble fine for late passport registration and a frantic chase through the station, a last minute through ticket to Talinn eventually saves him, while reflecting on Intourist practices and the perilous journey. The piece also notes a Rock Valley Literary Circle meeting and its program for Americans abroad.
