I would guess that it is a completely self contained town in itself.

You're correct - I'll let you off naming it.

It's the town of Whittier in Alaska - that building houses all the town's residents, as well as the post office, police station, health centre, laundromat, market, convenience store and even a church in the basement. The top two floors are a bed & breakfast business, so presumably the town gets enough visitors who really want to get away from it all. The only thing not under the roof is the pub...

Over to you.

Blokhin?

That's the man - Vasily Blokhin. Stalin's executioner, the number who died at his own hand ran into the tens of thousands. In one instance - the Katyn Massacre - he personally shot 7000 Polish POWs in 28 days. That's 250 a day, all shot in the back of the head...
