Russia related "trivia"-- Post Cereal Heiress Marjorie Post was wife of US Ambassador in USSR shortly after 1917.

In her house and on her estate, she has a great deal of Russian art including a dacha, an English portrait of Catherine the Great, and a chandelier and pieces of furniture and a dining set.
