Just as I was admiring the scene, a young policeman standing in front of Lenin's Mausoleum waved at me and signaled at me to come over. I strolled there and he asked for my passport. Yuks, another silly passport check on dangerous Asians like me. Maybe he thinks I'm a Chechen terrorist. I handed over my passport, which he examined carefully.

"OK, fine," the blond policeman said in halting English, "but you have committed a crime."

This initially scary story turns out to be rather amusing. Lots of good stuff on this site, too.
