SAROV (Andrei Zolotov,
Jr., RIA Novosti) – After an overnight trip from Moscow, the train chugs into a
tiny, single-track station and stops at closed metal gates crowned with barbed
wire. Some passengers disembark and walk to the nearby checkpoint where soldiers
match their IDs against a list of authorized guests; others wait to be checked
on board. Beyond the checkpoint’s wobbly turnstile, a billboard rises from the
wintery morning darkness: “Sarov – Center of Russia’s Strength and Spirit.”
Long article but interesting reading.

Thanks Drasko, a very interesting article. What strange things Sarov has seen in its history... what strange things Russia has seen!
