Default Russia

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with backpacking in
Russia, Ukraine, and any other former USSR countries. I have travelled
extensively throughout eastern europe but never made it any further east
than Romania. My wife is from Romania and when we were there visiting
family a few years ago a friend of mine and I wanted to slip across the
border into the Ukraine, but the Romanians said it was suicide to go
there unless you know someone there and have a place to stay.
Apparently crime is reaching staggering proportions there, particularly
towards western tourists.

Anyone have any stories? You can post it or email me directly at:

(drop the (NOSPAM) - obvious reasons)

Thanks in advance,

~Simon~
