Andrey Chernitsky first appeared in Upshott several weeks ago, a bald man with a static, mannequin-like posture that made him stand out even in surveillance footage. He was later spotted at Gatwick Airport wearing the same clothes with the same expression, remaining a motionless center of activity wherever he appeared.
