Nope. Not even the Soviet UNION. BTW, the hilarious thing is that the Krokodil staffers visiting the USA were more politically conservative than their American audience at UCLA. I'll have more details about this confrontation in my article. Also I am trying to find Leonid Florentiev. I haven't been able to track him down. He was a hell of a nice guy (and had the great wisdom to make Yours Truly the Krokodil American correspondent).
I'll will be back later for more replies. I have to take off right now.
