in other news, rich lured me out to see destroyer tomorrow night. i also finished the soviet experiment tonight, and am nearly done armageddon averted. i plan to spend all day friday reading anything that isn't about russia. i do, however, enjoy pictures of yulia tymoshenko. she became a billionaire when ukraine's oil and gas industry was privatized, and her husband is in exile, fleeing corruption charges. she spent time in jail herself, also for corruption.
