Sent a Swedish version of Mikhail Gorbachev´s Perestroika book to the address in the database, along with a long-ish letter translated to Russian and cash (in roubles) for return postage to the address in the database on June 11th.
When I returned from vacation on Aug 6, a package from Russia was waiting for me at the nearest post outlet and it would be returned if I didn´t pick it up ASAP. I went to pick it up and it turns out it was returned (post stamped) on July 16th and delivered already on July 23rd. Inside was my book, signed and with a short message from Mikhail Gorbachev dated July 9, and a printed translation in English of what he wrote.
Really happy to get Gorbachev´s autograph, and impressed by the quick turnaround time.
