Moscow Policewoman

"Moscow is rated as a beta world city for its global influences in media, politics, education, entertainment and fashion. It also remains a major economic centre and is home to a large number of billionaires; in 2007 Moscow was named the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row. It is home to many scientific and educational institutions, as well as numerous sport facilities. It possesses a complex transport system that includes the world’s busiest metro system, which is famous for its architecture."

"Others were less confident. Iya Maskharashvili, 34, a desk clerk at a hotel in the upscale Vaka neighborhood where Georgia's new rich come to flaunt their Western clothes and German cars, expressed doubt that the border would reopen anytime soon. A native of Abkhazia, she and her husband fled the separatist region more than a decade ago amid fierce fighting and worked for a while in Moscow."

Putin has re-established the Russian Empire, this time without Communism. One of his potent weapons is the glamour of Russian women as they form the tentacles of the new octopus.
