could have been mate.....was in the dark old cold war days....and we were meant to only refuel on the way to London but the plane needed some repairs....didn't ahve visa or anything (I don't know whether westerrners could even get one in those days) and the immigration police took my pasport off me when I waqs dropped at the hote.....
weirdest thing I can remember is eating what I thought was a lukewarm lettuce leaf covered in waterded down condensed milk as an entree.......main course was borscht (as was breakfast-no lunch was provided) ...then it was back to the room.....electricity went out at 10.00pm and came back on again at 6.00am...was worst than most prisons here IMHO (not that I've had first hand experience)
Have been back since but I will never fly on Aeroflot again!!!
