| #2 This is an old story. This artist in my opinion is the John Lennon of Russia. Died early in his forties. Politically he swung both ways in his life. |

| #1 While I respect Vlad's background + position, what could he or any man do wid so many yachts + aircraft??? The only thing I can think of is that Moscow Govtcritters = Russian Navy = the Tugboat needs a Tugboat ... just to get around andor as a safety precaution. * IIRC FREEPUBLIC [paraph] > [Video] RUSSIANS SHOW HOW NOT [read, N-O-T] TO PUT A YACHT BACK IN THE WATER. FREEP BLOGGER = opined "GOOD THING IT WASN'T THE KURSK". |
