Every so often we’re going to bring you something we’ve been calling off-cuts and footnotes. These are extended scenes and deep dives that didn’t make the final cut of the main episodes. This is also a place where we can talk about your questions and comments. So feel free to send your thoughts to [email protected] in a voice note or a quick message.

In this off-cut we're taking a walk with Boris through the repetitive courtyards of Tairova. Here we move beyond critiques of Soviet sameness to enter an almost hallucinogenic wormhole of yard after yard after yard. Right when you're certain you've been here before or seen this before, it occurs to you that maybe you're in the same place or every place all at once. Either way it's a perfect place to reflect on the future lives of Odes[s]a.
