In 1961 the KGB would be on any foreigner from day one. No surprise at all. In 1979 I crossed from Poland to Russia by train, and while we were stopped for the axles to be changed to the wider track gauge, I moved from one railroad car to another to hang with my friends. When Russians discovered that one car had a missing passenger and another had an extra one, they checked the entire train and we were delayed good several ours.

Don't you love those axle changes though? Every time I go through one I think.. we could just switch trains.
