I had my third encounter with the Milita tonight. I was on my way to see a dance show at the Gitis school (which was, incidentally, of markedly poor quality). In any event, they stopped me for my documents. It was fine... however, one of the people I was with had committed the biggest faux pas possible in Moscow... he didn't have his registration. I'm a bad person, though-- I didn't really care whether or not they carted him off to Russian prison. I was just pissed that we were going to have to miss the show while he sorted it out. It was sorted out. We got to the show just in time.
Russian prison might very well have been preferable.
Sooner or later, I will tell you the story of Irina the Translator.
Until that day, you may rest easy knowing that it's not that interesting.
