Inside, a dead man — another ivory elephant in his mouth. And a photograph: Oleg Kirov shaking hands with a man in a Moscow military coat. Date on the back: 17. August 1997.

The old sailor called it Lykkefanten — “The Luck Elephant.” Not a statue. Not a charm. A man. In 1997, the Cold War’s bones were still warm

(OK) was a former KGB colonel turned fixer. His code name in the underworld? Lykkefanten — because he brought fortune to those who paid, and misfortune to those who crossed him.
