The House on the Embankment
When I was in Moscow, I lived across from the Kremlin in the complex known as "The House on the Embankment." The building used to be the home of prominent leaders of the Communist Party, many of whom died in the Stalinist purges. The House on the Embankment is also the subject of Yurii Trifonov's landmark eponymous novella, which begins thus:
None of these kids exist now, none at all, anywhere. Some were killed in battle, some died from illness, others passed unnoticed. And some, though they are indeed alive, have turned into different people.
