Mark, don't be scared and everything will be alright. Russians who were born with that knowledge will tell you what to do. But at first ask them(officials) for credentials, write down all their names and ask them who is their boss. Ask questions too, you have this right. Pay a visit to their boss. But the most important don't let them know you are scared- that's exactly what they want and wait for. It's like with orangutan- if you run, you are dead. But when you will win- you will be different person. You be will proud of yourself.Eventually your paper will win, it will be better too. You can do it! Don't give up!
