Alexey lives in the Russian city of Tula (Population: 500,000), an industrial hub about 100 miles south of Moscow. The quality of Tula Cartridge Works’ Wolf Ammunition is renowned among gun nuts, but the city’s main claim to fame is that, in the 18th century, it was the site of Russia’s first factory manufacturing the traditional Russian tea urns called samovars. Tolstoy, Russia’s greatest contribution to literature (pre-Horse_ebooks, of course) is buried just a few miles outside of town.
