I think are typical of the Russians. We landed at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport at 5:00 p.m., May 24. The plane was surrounded by army personnel. We were quickly "herded" and "pushed" onto large buses and taken to the airport. Pictures were forbidden. We travelled about half a mile to the terminal. We passed single file though a "health check" . . a woman sitting on a stool looking us up and down and making sure you had a passport. That seemed to be the prerequisite to the "health check." Next we came to small cubicles where our visas were checked and stamped. This responsibility of checking passports and identification visas was carried out by 16-17 year old army cadets. We waited a long time before our luggage arrived at the terminal. "Next we had to clear customs. Our money declaration was stamped. This clerk gave me the impression he was trying to be very efficient, but with the long line-up confronting him, he did absolutely nothing to check our luggage. He appeared frightened, confused and absolutely disorganized. Customs was a snap. We black suited men — obviously police of some sort. About 2 hours later we passed through another checkpoint and boarded the buses. We travelled into the city and were taken to the Hotel Leningradki where we were welcomed by Soviet officials and where we hod our first meal. We ate all our meals at this hotel. Waitresses never smiled, were quite efficient, could be bribed for more food, but as soon as this became common, personnel charged for the next meal. Next we were taken to the "hotel" where we were to be housed. The Neptune t The National Aquatic Training Centre a was something else. After much confusion we finally got our rooms; I will tell you more about the Neptune at a later date. That night we slept very well even under the cir- cumstances that confronted us. The next day we were taken on a tour of the city and this is where we actually got a glimpse of the Russian people. Many of our impressions and memories stem from this first experience, Red Square and the Kremlin were packed with people. It was the end of the school year and it was a celebration holiday. Teachers had their classes parading and placing flowers at the tombs of Lenin and the Unnamed Soldier. Many were dressed in uniforms white blouses or skirts, blue pants or skirts and little red hats. There did not appear to be any discipline problems. People were moving in every direction, Police were everywhere. We finally got into a line and were sort of swept away, The pace was brisk, If you stepped off the curb you were "whistled" at by a policeman and shouted at and pointed at with a big stick, Within the Kremlin there were no cars on the streets this day, but you dared not step on or cross the streets except at marked areas. Many of the young people wore mini skirts, People were well dressed -- we saw no shabbily dressed Soviets. Men wore suits and usually carried a brief case.Army personnel were in uniform. Women wore dresses or skirts and blouses or sweaters and carried handbags. Rarely did you see anyone on the street wearing slacks or pant, suits, Shoes were typical North American styles. Many carried umbrellas. A common sight was to see two or 3 persons walking arm in arm.
