...Fact: The Seneca is not a final club because its application process and main parties are "open." It is not a sorority because it is not part of a nation-wide organization.

We assume they have been bused in to voice their support and enthusiasm for the Russian presence. In fact, they have come to complain. Russian troops--in particular the special assignment police unit, a heavily militarized unit with a reputation...
