so many people try to ger foreign citizenship nowadays, I mean, in Russia. Most of them try to give a birth to a baby not in Russia in order to get citizenship of another country (USA,Germany).
They are crazy with the idea to be closer to Europe, to the USA.
It's their own choice, but I am far from this desire.
By the way, it can be offtop, but do you know that USSR passport couldn't be counterfeit for a very long time until one detail about it was known...
How do you think what it is? What detail prevented spies to counterfeit soviet passports?;)
you can ignore it, I just thought it can be interesting for you because you're a man with very wide outlook
Some of the smartest people in the history of the world were/are Russian. I'm not surprised by the USSR passport considering the other feats Russians have accomplished. I do know there are many ways to make something hard or impossible to counterfeit using steganographic techniques such as hidden watermarks and more but I do not know the specific Russian way to achieve it. I don't have the details and this is something you would probably know more about.
no)
it's much easier;)

The soviet clips were made of metal that rusts;)
spies always use metal that doesn't rust;)
i've discovred it recently, and it seems it's interesting and even funny to know:)
You know, this is also very true in general. If you see someone who you never seen before in your neighborhood, with brand new clothes, would you think they are some sort of undercover cop?
Most people don't have brand new anything and if everything looks like they just bought it then it stands out.
yes, right you're..
in such tiny things many main secrets of USSR are hidden.
I firmly expect the aka 'Eurosphere' incl. Russia and USA to get tightly united, will even become EU members.
