You can dial direct from Australia to the USSR, at least the Melbourne 
phone book says you can. As for the USSR making distinctions between 
Western countries, I think it is the other way around, the USSR is happy 
to be called. I also have heard that there used to be direct dial 
service to the USSR prior to the Afghan caffuffle, and it was one of the 
things cut off. I don't *know* that for sure. Does anyone else?
