"Efrosinya Gadzhieva has been coming to Gorky Park since Stalin’s time. ‘In those days the flowers were tended,’ she muses, her gold teeth glistening in the sun. ‘Now it’s just arcades and noise. Then you could buy sandwiches with caviar, not all these strange kebabs.’ But Babulia (granny), as the locals call her, is not one to complain.
