MEANWHILE IN BELARUS
Female travelers in Belarus can finally breathe easy. Repeated complaints about malodor (I) male passengers – particularly, those with smell (II) socks and pungent onion-and-vodka-scented breath – have convinced Belarusian Railroads to give single-sex compartments a chance. A trial separation is being offered on the Moscow-Minsk service, with plans to extend the practice to other trains if the experiment is a success. However, the ladies’ compartments will not be especially fresh (III) before boarding, no matter how odoriferous previous occupants may have been.
