"These days if you get out of the morgue and into the ground, you are lucky. But to be buried in Moscow is practically impossible. You have to be in the mafia or a major politician for that." --Vladimir I. Panin, chairman of the Kristall funeral company on the rising costs of dying in the now-capitalist Russian Republic, quoted in The New York Times, November 15, 1994
