I went to school with identical twins. They were mirror images of each other. One however had a small scar on her hand that was the only way to tell the difference and they were always together. They said their parents had bracelets made to tell them apart.

[@mystiqua3107]

My cousins are so identical that it isn't funny. I feel bad every time I address the wrong twin by the wrong name. But they are very different individuals though. One's outgoing, always surrounded by friends, has fun being in many extracurricular activities and, later on, outings. The other studies like mad, helps out in the house more, and has ambitions with finding work as soon as she can. When one of the twins finally graduated, the other stopped working so it would be her turn to finish school. Now their appearances swapped - since she's going back to school, she went back to her original hair color, changed to more school-appropriate clothes. The other, because she's now working, can color her hair and has co-employees to go out with. I keep forgetting which twin is which.

Nah, most likely an American dentist who did work on both the victim and sister, as they were most likely in the states on US spousal visas at the time. Since the fall of USSR to circa. 2010, oral hygiene maintenance was terrible in most former USSR states, including Russia, and lapsed as a public health priority. I recall doing such work on a lot of clients originally from former USSR states who came here for dental work after immigration. And also, US (and Canadian as I was one) medical professions are required by law to keep and maintain records (min. 7 or 8 years worth on each patient/works/surgeries) and promptly hand them over (through proper legal channels/warrants) to law enforcement for investigative/identification purposes. The only thing openly shared between those countries are scientific studies and medical advances, but for individual patient records through international channels,... ugh... be ready for 6-18 month wait as your request for dental/medical records can be an overtly burdensome bureaucratic nightmare, and after your request, may or may not be granted, or no such records are found. Rather than just wait, just start from scratch in North America and do your own examinations rather than wait for dental record transfers from haphazardly maintained records over there if you're looking for anything post-1991 USSR.

The thing is, twins who have been inseparable and essentially know each other by heart, can actually pass off as each other easily. I know a pair, named Isaiah and Gabriel, and they did this all the time. One twin went to seminary, the other became an engineer. Personality-wise, could not be alike at all. Yet, they manage to switch places and, heck, unless you put them side-by-side and take a very very close look, you can't tell. Even their cousin whom they're close with like a brother, sometimes mistook one for the other. There was even one incident that Gabby's SO kissed Isaiah because he got them mixed up. 😅😅We still laugh about that.
