True, but unfortunately they do have a Kremlin in their pocket. This could be a very serious development. Our relationship with the Kremlin was already showing signs of going downhill by ICCF14, when Russian physicists were denied visas. That was before the Georgia attack, and thus a bit mysterious. Perhaps we are now beginning to see the underlying reasons.
That's neither the facts nor the interpretation I have. I received a response today from the Moscow consulate. Sorry, but you'll have to wait until NET #31.
