The Kremlin Phoenix
“Several years ago, Yashin had driven a lorry to the parking area, delivered satellite receiving equipment to plain clothed men, who transported it over the hill to the facility beyond. Yashin had not been allowed beyond the parking area, and never saw the facility down by the river.
Beyond the small parking space was a sign warning they were entering a restricted area, and proceeding beyond that point would result in the most severe penalty. They drove past the sign, over the crest of the ridge... and parked by the side of the dirt road. On the flood plain below, a small cluster of buildings lay far enough back in the forest that they couldn’t be seen from the river. The facility had a drab alpine appearance, with high roofed buildings and stone walls punctuated by large picture windows. In front of the buildings were two tennis courts and a glass walled structure housing a heated pool and a gymnasium, all encircled by landscaped gardens.
“A gilded cage?” Craig said, surprised by its pleasant appearance.MoreLess
