I just spoke to a Russian friend of mine about old tanks buried in
mud, and such..
He thought it was humorous, and figured that any tanks which were
uncovered and subsequently confiscated, would only be due to the buyer
not knowing who to pay off, not paying off -all- of the right
officials..
He also says that out in the Russian boondocks, there are still alot
of old mines and bombs, and that kids often find them, and manage to
set them off 'properly' most of the time without being killed. Done as
a rare and coveted amusement.
