Joshua Davis has developed a penpal service for people anywhere that are interested in communicating in Russian or about anything Russian. There are over 60 people listed that are just waiting to hear from you!

Developed by Novgorod State University, this penpal club unites people that would like to communicate with others worldwide. Photos, voices and text are available.

This service, in operation since 1989, has matched over 45,000 people from the USA and other countries with penpals in the fSU and the Baltic Nations. For 10 years of age and older, the purpose of this is to "foster international understanding and help people to learn about the former Soviet Union and the Baltic nations on a one-to-one basis".
