Me in St. Petersburg.  We stayed in an apartment above a children's art school and museum on the Fontanka Embankment.  When we went to the airport to fly home, we were taken aside by three Russian policemen with submachine guns.  They demanded 3,000 rubles before they would allow us to leave.  Later, Debra asked if I was upset about paying a bribe.  I said, "No, the story value alone is worth more than that."  Photo by Debra.
