- File: BORIS
-
- A man in exile living in Italy is doing his part to bring down the Soviet
- economy. The man who calls himself Boris, writes a letter every week to a
- Soviet dissident and insures it for $400. Since the Soviets never deliver
- letters to dissidents. Italian postal authorities reimburse Boris, then send
- the bill to Moscow, which must pay up or be kicked out of the International
- Postal Union. Boris says he makes $20,000 a year writing the letters. If
- everyone used his trick, he says, the Soviet economy would collapse.
