    Another memory of Moscow before Putin

    Government workers including nuclear scientists going without paychecks for six months at a time because the government was broke because they couldn't make the oligarchs pay any taxes.

    I saw how they had to collect to taxes in Moscow under Yeltsin -- an OMON raid. They had to call out the black berets to collect the taxes. It was wild. False walls, triple books, miniature armed wars.

    It was wild, wild, scary time.

    —Patricia Schwarz
