I remember issue no. 1 & the sense of community it birthed for foreigners who had previously vaccumed up a free weekly called The Moscow Guardian. Remarkable man.

Hundreds of people last night waiting endlessly for the absurd βpeople moversβ that ferry you from the plane to the terminal. And for arriving tourists, massive queues at immigration. Gets worse by the week there.

REPORTER: A simple question -- 'by the end of the week,' does that by Friday, by Saturday, or by Sunday?
TAMMY BRUCE: I think generally it could be the collection of the days at the end of the week. I'm not going to specify ... to clarify a bit more, i would say probably the end of the week
