Apparently, during the Civil War, the Russian government sent 4,500 sailors to back our side up against the Confederates, who weren't too happy about it. They came into Boston, where we had laid out rows upon very lengthy rows of long tables covered in turtle soup, mutton, and jelly extract (or something on the last one) along with other foods to feed them.
By the way, if you check out "United States and Russian Diplomatic Relations Day" in the recent articles of the Boston Globe, another very cool event took place on the Boston Commons nearby the area where you were.
Boston police loves those weird-ass Paddy-Wagons.

That was just one aspect of this, our public welcome. We even put up their officers all in a luxius place of rest, the Paul Revere Hotel.
I just found that out.
