well my granfather told me stories of his escape from russia where he was a horse thief among other occupations in the pre 1917 era. but they were usually not even stories, just lies and innuendo.

In certain parts of the Caucasus it had even been an more or less honorable profession. So maybe there is some truth in the stories he told you. Where exactly in Russia had he been ?

Thanks for the comment, Jerry !
