Their last conversation was tinged with foreboding.
“He wanted to go home,” said Kruglova, a civil servant, who has been on disability for the past decade after five surgeries on her spine. “He understood everything, understood that they wouldn’t let him leave there. He knew he wouldn’t come back.”
