out of 4 Russian sounding last names, 2 are Latvian citizens, born there in 87 and 89. Latvia got separated somewhen during 89-91.

He may also visit Kiev, Ukraine - ARTEM SEMENOV: Semenov speaks both Russian and English, although his English may not be that good. He tends to stay close to Russian communities. - ALEXANDR SERGEYEVICH BOBNEV: Bobnev has a Russian Passport and has ties to Russia. - ANDREY NABILEVICH TAAME: Taame speaks both English and Russian. He holds a Russian passport and Russian citizenship.
