I would have to agree with Richard on this one.A friend of mine who is the
head spud inspector for Canada had to go to the Ukraine on a joint
government spud project and he siad the mob has as much power as the
police.he had police escort all the time but the biggest problems were
always the mob and getting thru crossings and each municipality has
crossings.hands were being greasd on a daily basis and they know how much
coin you have and will get all of it and then some before you get out.
