Hace cien años, en plena Gran Guerra, partió de Zürich un tren que hizo descarrillar el curso de la Historia. Stefan Zweiglo definió como un proyectil cargado de explosivos humanos y, yendo aún más lejos, Winston Churchill se refirió a uno de esos "explosivos" como el arma más terrorífica de todas las que Alemania había lanzado contra Rusia hasta entonces. Porque, en palabras del que fuera primer ministro británico, aquel tren transportaba "en un vagón sellado herméticamente, cual bacilo de la peste", nada menos que a Lenin.

En lo desconocido pasan lúgubres y fantasmales sombras. Esas sombras le empujan por un camino estrecho, largo, inmensamente largo. Se oye el chirrido de un cerrojo. Se abre una puerta.
