If you’ve spoken to a Russian you’ve got “Russian Ties” (most of mine I picked up cheap in Hong Kong and Singapore, thank you). Funny they can’t see the irony in their acting like the good old KGB. “Have you spoken to an American? Please come with me, Comrade.”
I guess when I met Stalin’s daughter back in the ‘80’s, I can say, I, too, had Russian ties. This is getting out of hand.
