From kitchens and courtyards to hospitals and backwater stations, these brief tales catch ordinary Russians at their most comic, stubborn, and achingly human. A bullied cook faces marriage, petty clerks dream too loudly, doctors misread hearts. With swift, surgical turns, cruelty and kindness trade places, and quiet moments flare into truths you feel long after the last page.
