the unfriendliness of russian border guards in the moscow area is so grave that there is some sort of a decree instructing them that they have to be polite to tourist passengers, entering and exiting the country.
reportedly, that order even requires the border guard officials to smile at passengers!
in a normal place (no, this is not a normal place, this is moscow, russia, something different!), there would be no need for a "law" obliging people to be polite and smile at other people.
of all the funny things about this place, i think this is my favourite!
(note: in practice the order is totally useless, you still ain't gonna get no smiles from them border guards! - i need to get a hold of that order so that i can next time hold it under their nose and demand a smile from them!)
