Fleming is a former member of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD. He is in Kolyma and meets the narrator in a paramedic course. Fleming is released and still thinks about resuming his work with intellectuals and his work in the secret police. He has a certain shamelessness in trying to win back a bit of status.
