"And they didn't want a
uggs discount constitutional democracy."
"No. No way."
"What did they want? A tsar?"
"No. Those tsar guys -- the traditionalists -- stayed in Russia. The Orthos who came to TROKK were total rejects. They had been forced out by the mainline Russian Orthodox church."
"Why?"
"Yeretic. That's how Russians say 'heretic.' The Orthos who came to TROKK were a new sect -- all Pentecostals. They were tied in somehow with the Reverend Wayne's Pearly Gates. We had missionaries from Texas
ugg discount coming up all the goddamn time to meet with them. They were always speaking in tongues. The mainline Russian Orthodox church thought it was the work of the devil."
"So how many of these Pentecostal Russian Orthodox people Came over to TROKK?"
"Jeez, a hell of a lot of them. At least fifty thousand."
"How many Americans were in TROKK?"
"Close to a hundred thousand."
"Then how exactly did the Orthos manage to
ugg discount take the place over?"
"Well, one morning we woke up and there was an Airstream parked in the middle of Government Square in New Washington, right in the middle of all the bagos where we had set up the government. The Orthos had towed it there during the night, then took the wheels off so it couldn't be moved. We figured it was a protest action. We told them
ugg discount to move it out of there. They refused and issued a proclamation, in Russian. When we got this damn thing translated, it turned out to be an order for us to pack up and leave and turn over power to the Orthos.
"Well, this was ridiculous. So we went up to this Airstream to move it out of there, and Gurov's waiting for us with this nasty grin on
best breitling watches his face."
"Gurov?"
"Yeah. One of the Refus who came over the Dateline from the Soviet Union. Former KGB general turned religious fanatic. He was kind of like the Minister of Defense for the government that the Orthos setup. So Gurov opens the side door of the Airstream and lets us get a load of what's inside."
"What was inside?"
