I suggest you take a closer look at the state of Russian "private" property. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Thanks but when I was there over 5 years ago, Russians had ownership of apartments and homes. And I lived with Russians but they often took me to Canadian and American homes nearby so I could speak English. My Russian was acceptable but wearying. The breaks were very nice.

At any rate it was from these Canadians and Americans living there, working there, that I learned much.
