OK, I agreed, but afterwards thought.. this is going way way beyond what I imagined.
Other news... Friends in Moscow many are quite scared naturally, some even that I thought would shrug off much of this. One or two are leaving (Georgia) but vast majority staying put. My old secretary (iron lady) is freaking out and I'm trying to calm her down almost as we speak.
The joys of Putin's Russia. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
