  1. In reference to your joke at the end, certainly if you'd pounded on the desk and told Khrushchev or Brezhnev that you didn't like how they were running the country, you'd have been in a gulag in Siberia before you could pick up your hat. Possibly not so much by the time of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. But with the arrival of Putin, ex-KGB officer, complaints about government action have seen the gulags getting a fresh influx of unwilling workers. I was very hopeful that Russia after Gorbachev and even Yeltsin would gradually become a normalised member of the free countries of the world. Putin put an end to that and the people suffering most are not those in the west but those in Russia.
