- Though I am sure that Greg will not read my refutation (as
- he holds Harvard in kill-file), but I have to add that,
- on the matter of Orekhovo-Borisovo, he is bullshitting
- (as I suppose elsewhere). Not only I am a native of
- Orekhovo-Borisovo and walked there anytime anyplace
- for some 15 years with any kind of companions or
- without and never was assaulted. My wife walked
- there alone as well, and lots of my friends too.
- I never *heard* about anybody getting assaulted,
- though I know many of natives. My friends were
- beaten in Yugo-Zapad and Universitet areas
- repeatedly, though (and some got bodyly harmed),
- but nobody - in Orekhovo-Borisovo. This is
- a most quiet place in the whole city.

- Misha.
