Russia Watch: Moscow tames its excesses
Last week, an American friend of mine received two mysterious white envelopes in the mail.
On opening them, he found that each contained a black and white photo of his car, each taken secretly, in the middle of the night. Below each photo was printed: his name, his employer and his home address.
No, this was not the U.S. National Security Agency tracking down a runaway American who owes money on his student loans.
Moscow now has secret traffic cameras. The cameras caught my friend, speeding home from his girlfriend’s apartment at 1 am. In two 80 km an hour zones, he was clocked at 100 km an hour.
