Kuprin drops us at the city's edge, watching a block morph from coachmen's nests into regulated brothels. He slices them by price—three rubles, two, one, fifty kopecks—as if mapping a hierarchy of desire. This opening reads like a social autopsy: cool, precise, and just waiting for you to look closer.
