Yes I know about the murder of the Czar and his family. But I just thought you could claim you were a relative which could make you famous. You are likely correct about the former KGB running everything now. I've read there has been a return to a very heavy handed authoritarian rule once again in Russia with arrests for those criticising the government. But then again in the Western countries just look at the 'anti terrorist laws' that can arrest you on suspicion of anything and circumvent civil rights. All those protective laws that took so long to build a just society tossed out the window in one new law. Governments love power and ultimately will do whatever necessary to control the masses with whatever they can.

I don't care much for traveling and prefer a familiar life style. And I hate surprises. I've got over 1/4 million travel miles through my visa and they'll probably to to the grave with me,lol...
