Ahhh, Russia

Starting to work on next summer's study abroad program and I get this tip from the group leader based on past experience.

"I also think this year we need to leave some money for bribes when we purchase group train tickets. Maybe around 50-60$? It is mafia who operates train ticket sales. They sell only 4 tickets at a time, so last year I had to stay in several lines. This time maybe we can bribe someone there and they will sell us the necessary amount of tickets."

Now, how to square this with our university accounting rules....
