Our old friend Zhirinovsky is at it again. He suggests that Russian women who marry a foreigner should be stripped of their citizenship, sent to the husband's country, never allowed to return, and all her assets should be distributed between the state and her relatives.
Hmm. Been there, done that, haven't even gotten a man in the bargain. Don't feel particularly punished, though. Quite the opposite, the 700 rubles (at a time when median monthly salary was about 150) that we paid per person to get rid of that citizenship were the best-invested money in my life.
When we were leaving a number of people were saying "just go away, the Soviet Union is not gonna fall apart without you". And oops, look what happened...
