All the men of Egvekinot, a port town in Russia’s far east, had heard the same knock in recent days. The government was conscripting men to fight in the war against Ukraine. Sergei, a slight man with big hazel eyes capped by heavy brows, wanted no part of it. When the knocking stopped and the sound of footsteps outside had disappeared, he looked out of the window and saw a man and woman in green military uniforms get into a car.
