Poverty + Envy = a good reason to stay out of Russia. However, if you can afford round-the-clock bodyguards, like Calvin Klein cutie, Natalia Vodianova, a trip to the motherland to visit mom doesn't always have to be a harrowing experience. Except for that time when the supermodel was attacked by a knife-wielding lunatic at a local nightclub, and the time when her family had to relocate due to hostage concerns.

Because most of her "friends" and acquaintances can't understand why the girl from Gorky landed an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein, and nuptials (and a baby) with an English viscount, it came as no surprise when an ex-classmate (Natalia dropped out of high school) lashed out in a jealous rage, knife in hand, aiming for her million dollar face. Thus is life in the land of tsars and peasants, where the mafia is a public operation, the black market IS the market, and salt soup, not Beluga, is on most everyone's tongue. Kidnappings are common and every traveling businessman knows not to get into a taxi unless it was pre-arranged by the hotel.
