Crossing the Russian-Chinese border?
What is it like for a Russian person trying to cross the border into China by land? What about Vice Versa? What about 30 years ago when it was the USSR? I am Canadian and have only crossed the USA-Canada border. Can you even compare the two procedures?
I lived in Khabarovsk which is right across the river from the border. So people go there a lot usually to either health boost at a spa resort which is much cheaper in China. You sort of get a usually week visa from a travel agency, with a hotel stay included. Russian people go there a lot, mostly to buy clothes and other crap, since it's so cheap. You just ride a fairy and they just check your passport, and the hotel stay receipt, which is a type of visa, and er that's it. It's really easy, for Chinese people to get into Russia is, much harder that's why there are so many illegal immigrants working as builders with no contracts and get payed extremely little money. Worse then Mexicans in US. The only problem, is when you come back from China with all your goodies, you can't have more then one suit case, since the ship can't carry too much. Most people however solve that problem by putting as much clothes as possible on themselves. It's kind of funny that everyone gets off looking fat. So most people in the far east of Russia have been to China at least once, it's easy and cheap. When i know how friendly (NOT) the customs people are in the Canadian- American border. God forbid to look a little suspicious, or be smiling too much or something they will automatically assume your on weed. They are especially bad to Canadians.
No one really crosses by land, they only recently built a bride to the border, and in the USSR few people traveled there since everyone was so suspicious on foreign people. Don't compare the procedures I've been through both and they are completely different

Russian chant - Before Thy Cross
how many in pounds or ounces are left fom the russian cannon for the victoria cross?
G'day Lilboy007,
Thank you for your question.
There are 358 oz remaining or 10 kilograms. It is believed that that is enough for another 80 medals. Once it is used up, they will make the medals from another source.
It is widely believed that all VCs are cast from the bronze cascabels of two cannon of Chinese origin that were captured from the Russians at the siege of Sevastopol, except during the First World War when metal from guns captured from the Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion was also used. However, a 2006 book on the VC's history by historian John Glanfield calls the traditional account into question, arguing that it is impossible that the metal used for VCs made before 1914 really does come from the Sevastopol guns. Also, the Sevastopol metal went missing between 1942 and 1945, when another source of metal was used to make five Second World War VCs.
The barrels of the cannon in question are stationed outside the Officers' Mess at the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich. The remaining portion of the only remaining cascabel, weighing 358 oz (10 kg), is stored in a vault by 15 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps at Donnington, Telford. It can only be removed under armed guard.
The John Glanfield book mentioned earlier is Bravest of the Brave published in early 2006. Other good books on the topic are:
# Monuments to Courage (David Harvey, 1999)
# The Register of the Victoria Cross (This England, 1997) ISBN 0-906324-03-3
I have enclosed sources for your reference.
