Once upon a time...
Back in the sixties, a friend of mine went on a trip to Moscow as a tourist.
He took a photo of a bunch of people queuing up to buy pickled gherkins. (A bit of a rare luxury item, then, I imagine.)
He was arrested and taken "downtown" for several hours. The potential charge: "taking pictures of the People without their consent". He was, happily, finally released, minus his film.
So we're getting there...
