No photos from this year’s Victory Day, as we were returning from Istanbul on May 9. Instead, here’s the stuff that our building’s concierges posted on the walls by the entrance and inside the two elevators (as they say here, one elevator’s for the wife, the other’s for the mistress, to keep them from running [...]
