But, it was not all beer and skittles. There were, run-ins with secret policemen in communist Eastern Europe, encounters with horrific conditions in post-communist so-called orphanages, where Catherine kick-started a new, humane approach to physical and cognitive disability in children and adults, deliberate cultivation of the dissidents who would supplant a communist dictatorship and a close-up view of Europe's biggest displacement of people, since the Second World War, the result of Bulgaria's ethnic cleansing of a tenth of its own population in 1989 barely, noticed by western governments or media. All this, and much more, is recounted by someone, who reckons that he struck lucky in the diplomatic dip.
