- A Man I Know §6 Немецком клубе
The German Club (Nemetskiy klub) was one of several nationality-based private social clubs common in large Russian cities, offering dining, cards, and entertainment to a paying membership and their guests; it functioned, like the Renaissance, as a venue where demimonde women such as Wanda could mix with well-off men.
