To pick up extra cash (and free food) I write restaurant reviews in Moscow. The last one was organizaed by a Serbian woman (an old friend of Mark Ames). Big fan of Tito.
She says that, when she worked for the Yugoslav state airline as a junior assistant in the early 80s, she earned 30% more than her colleagues at Heath Row. She earned $3,500 dollars a month in 1984 dollars.
