Kamchatka is an island that is part of Alaska. Incidentally, the US tested an underground nuke there in the late sixties which I remember because of all the protests that the older kiddies organized at our school.

I'm pretty sure Yakutsk is part of Russia.

still at 6

Romania, poland, belarus, kazakhstan, hungary, armenia?,latvia, lithuania, kryzikistan( mite be making that one up),moldova?

[armin]

one of the above has to be wrong cause czechoslovakia should be in there...

[CGM]

Ok We have some more...

Russia
Estonia
Ukraine
Uzbekistan
Georgia
Armenia

from Armin we have ...

Belarus
Kazakhstan
Latvia
Lithuania
Moldova

I'm going to disallow kryzikistan, the spelling is a little too far off, but there is one that sort of sounds like it.

S we 11 out of 15 so far. good job Armin. Keep in mind we are talking USSR, you have a few Iron curtain countries here, but they aren't USSR.
