Oops, didn't realize your cousin is a she, and that she's not based there. That's good. Anyway, she got off easy - she could've been driving ... If you wind up visiting Kiev, enjoy - you'll have fun. But it's best to be accompanied by the locals to avoid the rip-offs and other such unpleasantries. The post-breakup USSR is not quite the Wild East of the 90's, but it's not the most stable of places either. And any "order" and "law" replacing the chaos comes from KGB now openly ruling Russia, and the totalitarian nationalistic approach they're restoring. Ukraine has already fallen in line, and we saw what happened when Georgia refused.
Yeah, I have heard similar from the Ukis around here. This was another cousin. The lawyer's (a he) sister. Thanks for the intel.
