作为一名大学教授，我的工作职责的一部分包括在俄罗斯的一家历史档案馆做研究。 在那，有一名荷枪实弹的军队卫兵驻扎，防止恐怖袭击。不过，他经常在靠近门口过道的地方随便溜达，对进来的研究员视而不见。 但是，有一天,（当我进门的时候），那卫兵来了个标准的立正，手里如临大敌般拿起枪把我拦住。“请出示证明文书”，他喊道。我连忙手忙脚乱地在我的东西里找我的档案馆通行证。 “护照”，卫兵厉声喝道。我把美国护照递给了他。卫兵眉头紧锁地看着我的身份证件。 最后，他问，“收音机里谁在唱歌？” 我听了一会然后回答，“艾佛利兄弟”。 卫兵裂觜笑了，把拦在我面前的步枪拿开，让我进入。毫无疑问，他可以确认我真的是一名美国学者了。
