Canines & Queues

Packs of stray dogs are a significant problem here (Mom, don't read this section).  They roam the markets and streets, because many have been abandonded by their owners.  I have been told to be especially circumspect when the weather gets very cold.  They can be rather agressive at times.  Apparently there are over a thousand dog attacks in Luhans'k every year.  It is odd that the city doesn't seem to address the problem. 
Russians & Ukrainians are a rather assertive lot, especially when it comes to observing queues.  Well, queuing is not exactly something they tend to take terribly seriously.  One has to be very quick on his or her feet here.  If you hesitate for even a second, someone will aggressively elbow his or her way to the front of the rather vague queue; it is everyone to him or herself.
