Russian term

что где-где

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
From the memoirs of Stalin-era political prisoner, describing a scene where she is escorted across the country for questioning in Lubyanka:

Они, эти молодые парни, от души посочувствовали нам, арестованным по недоразумению, но и успокоили, авторитетно заверив, что уж "там-то" разберутся, ***что где-где***, а уж "там" ошибок не бывает!
