...tires and that sort of thing. Seeing that we did not understand fully, they began hauling passengers forcibly out of the car. Once, when Andrei was driving, he took in two women -- one was very elderly and could barely shuffle. As soon as he started the engine, our police escort ran over and stopped our car with shouts and curses, and then he pulled the two women out of the car.
