Last visit to Moscow I declared nothing going in and $7,500 coming out.

I was told to go to a small room and was searched by one of their officers and asked how I got the money. I just said that I won it at the casino playing poker. The search was just an 'empty your pockets' type.

I had no problems apart from feeling uneasy.

Best regards
