True story...I visited Russia in 96 and 97. On one of the trips we started talking to a guy in the street, but then he kept following us and calling us his dear friends etc. He wreaked of vodka. Finally he reached into a duffle bag, pulls out a full Soviet officer's uniform with medals and insignia, and gives it to me as a gift. Then he embraces me and gives me a full on mouth kiss which also tasted like man and old vodka....his beard was scratchy too lol. I still have the uniform
