Carolyn,
the wrong word for me here is "occupation", of course.

Vietnam were and Afganistan and Irak are occupated indeed. Serbia (in its Kosovo region) are still occupated by NATO forces (there is an Army base there). But that was military consultation in Ethiopia or Angola for Soviets as well as for American military specialists almost all around the world...

OK, outside political issues that is the same old question about Crimea (now Ukraine, former Russian area for ages) as an area of origin of many black tomato varieties... Still can't believe in that, because there is no such info circulated inside former Soviet Union countries (CIS now)...
