| Opplysninger | Kyrillisk: Дебютант. - One hot day in August an older gentleman in rather poor health decides to celebrate the fine weather with a walk through his favorite forest on the outskirts of a European city. Tired from his walk, he wends his way to a small town, past a soaring old cathedral to an outdoor restaurant in the village square. Here the waiters treat him no differently than the other pensioners, and it would never occur to any of them that under the plastic surgery, contact lenses, and a carefully maintained accent is a former Soviet intelligence officer who defected more than 30 years ago. He orders beer and a steak. While he waits for his meal, he sips his beer and bats away the wasps that are drawn to the sweet hoppy beverage. Suddenly he feels the sting of a wasp on his neck. As he collapses, he recalls a man who walked past him just as he was stung. Before he slips into oblivion, he manages to whisper that he was poisoned.
