According to an AP wire story, Article 23 of the draft Russian
constitution says that ``Each person has the right to secret
correspondence, telephone conversations, mail, telegraph and other
communications.''

Shucks -- there goes another export market for Clipper...

Oh yeah -- the AP explains the clause by referring to the ways that
Soviet authorities used to spy on people.
