Was at the library poking around their databases and came across one for Russian news publications.  Had never thought about it but found an article which mentioned that SW didn't arrive in Russia till the 1990s.  Yet in this Russian newspaper database there there probably over a hundred 'Star Wars' articles dating back to the early 80s.  Weird to think that in Russia 'Star Wars' was a feared fake missile shield, while here in the US the person who created 'Star Wars' was sueing the US government over the re-use of the term.
