Irktutsk, Central Siberia. Foreigners were always routed through a special Intourist section of Russian airports. Although the segregation and special treatment was sort of galling, it did make travel a lot more pleasant. The Intourist sections were the Soviet equivalent of First Class lounges, with armchairs, special staff, and of course a snack and drink bar. I never got this woman's name, but she seemed like a classic Soviet matron, and let me take her picture.
