Briton, American Detained in Chukotka
 British and American citizens have been detained in the Far Eastern Russian province of Chukotka, governed by Roman Abramovich, for illegally crossing the Russian state border, RIA Novosti reported. Presumably, the two foreigners are tourists. The detainees have passports, commercial visas, tents and arctic equipment with them. A .44 Magnum-Colt pistol and cartridges have been also found among their belongings, a local security services spokesman said. | That .44 would be for polar bears most likely |
| Would it bring down an elk? |
They told the police that they were heading from South America to Great Britain, and had crossed the Russian-American border in the Bering Strait, traveling from Alaska. But Russian authorities seem to be doubtful about the aim of their visit to Russia and have started an investigation into the case.
