Oh, i got a question. It bothers me, as a hard-edged russian patriot: how did the russian embassy people act and look, as they were arranging the trip? Who came in touch with the Smith family, how soon after the letter from Andropov, how did they handle the visa trip? Did they at least offer a car for the airport?

By the first look at this story, russian officials demonstrated the kind of resolution and directness that they're lacking so much these days.

So please ask her about some small details, how it was, to be invited into a country by its leader. Thanks!!
