Aleksandr Volodin
The Disillusioned Bolshevik of the Last Tram
The revolution gave me purpose—now I ride the rails where hope was left behind.
I drove the Number 7 through Red Square’s storms, kept the wheels turning while the world collapsed. They gave me a medal for loyalty, but the real reward was watching the Comintern rot from within. Every vanished comrade, every whispered toast to the past—they're all in the rhythm of the rails now. The revolution wasn’t a promise. It was a ledger, and I’m its last proofreader.
What I'm Into: the brass lever’s final jolt, snow stained crimson, silent Party cell meetings, empty medals in drawers, the Number 7 after curfew
