re: #342 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

One of these days, I’m going to visit Russia. Also, Ukraine, since I have friends in Nyiv and Lugansk now. Hopefully they will still be separate countries when I get around to visiting them.

I have not returned since I fled in 1993 (during the anti-Yelstin counter-putsch when government troops were shelling the Russian Parliament building)

But those halcyon days are gone, I used to be able to rent a furnished two-bedroom apartment in a nice part of Moscow near the Metro for $100 per month.
