Browder and his colleagues in Moscow also felt that the Soviet ghosts had been laid to rest and looked forward to enjoying a healthy business venture. The end of the Cold War and the promise of a new and more harmonious interaction beckoned. In the late 1990s the West was optimistic about the future of relationships with Russia.

He walked to the fence line, pulled the top wires apart, and climbed through from his side to his brothers’.Ī four-wheel drive was parked near the stockman’s grave, its own engine still running and its air conditioner also spinning full pelt, no doubt. Nathan slammed the door before he heard the rest. Both protested the Queensland December heat with discordant squeals. He pulled on the handbrake, leaving the engine and the air conditioner running. Still, he stopped the car farther from the fence than he needed to. “Don’t look,” he was tempted to say, but didn’t bother. Visible, but still miles away, giving him too many minutes to absorb the scene as it loomed larger. He had crested the rise, gripping the steering wheel as the off-road terrain tried to snatch control from his hands, and suddenly it was all there in front of him. Nathan Bright could see nothing, and then everything all at once. |
