I do remember starting to see a few foreigners in the 80s, usually in the city center, nearby the Opera House - which was very unusual. Kazan had a high security clearance because the MIGs were built there. In fact, my mother's Ph.D topic had something to do with stealth planes. <br />Amazing how small the world can be, isn't it?Lina Zeldovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258464515913616152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-62349785335113965312010-10-08T11:07:43.630-04:002010-10-08T11:07:43.630-04:00Maybe I'll join your family for the next trip....Maybe I'll join your family for the next trip.

Haven't been back for 5 years now; must admit, the last time I found my city so Westernized, it was a little upsetting. Now I'm waiting for the 3-year old to grow up a bit, so I can take him as well.Lina Zeldovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258464515913616152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-79899682200464332512010-10-08T09:01:47.197-04:002010-10-08T09:01:47.197-04:00I have actually been to Kazan!

I can't wait to read your mystery novels. :) By the way, I get my ideas while sleeping- in the form of dreams.
