It's a global phenomenon now: fertilizer plants shutting down.
I love when she says, "I am Russian. We understand these things."
I am now five episodes in. My crush on Ivanova has returned. This is all your fault.
”Each parcel contained a sophisticated incendiary device. The tubes of cosmetics had been re-filled with a liquid high explosive and the ignition devices were hidden inside the cushions. Suranovas maintains he had no idea of this.”…even tho’ the parcels were handed over in a Vilnius Park
