I currently still am working in the aluminium industry.Alcoa is a competitor. When I was there it was under control of the Ovadenkos and a London trading company called Euromin. I was told those closed off areas are for Russian defence..??
It always makes me laugh when people speak about places they have never personally been at. Like when my brother inlaw comments on the French. Never been there but he tells me they hate Almericans. I love Paris.
Russian people are awesome. We are all just a bit different. Russian women, what can you say, beautiful and fun.Second only to Brazilians...
Regarding other countries, 5 years ago I was hunting in Romania in the mountains with some "government types". I shot an unbelievably large bear. The day I was supposed to leave, an unexpected bill of 25,000 euros was presented to me for "extras" as the bear was a "gold medal bear". To tell the story of being sequestered for 20 hours without passports until finally contacting Bucharest for a government intervention, is another story. Was questioning whether I would make it home.
I have also hunting the CZ Republic for pheasant. A great experience, food drink and people were as nice as Russia.
