Subject: We need a letter
Hello,
My name is Steve Winston.
I teach English at an adult school in California. We have a student from
Moscow. Her name is Lena. She is homesick. She wants to know how to contact
people in Moscow and also in the Ukraine where she has many relatives. We
have access to the Internet at our school and through my computer in my
house. Can you help us ? Lena wants to know about life in Moscow. She wants
to know about the ruble. She wants to know if Zhirinovsky is gaining power.
Please write back to me at
Xee@AOL.COM
or
Xee@Delphi.Com
Thanks for your help.

) 3) How long has Russia (and the rest of the CIS) been linked to
)the net?
)
) 4) Would it be possible to block/jam/stop Internet communication
)easily? Forexample, thinking back to the days of censorship, does the
)Internet makesuch control of communications impossible? More difficult?
)Have the floodgates opened with little chance of wrenching them shut?
)

Dear friends,
I am doing a research on the use of Internet by Russian journalists in Moscow.
I would like to understand to what extent they use the net and how it affects
their reporting.
I would appreciate your sharing with me any information concerning the topic.
Thank you so much!
Cybernetically Yours, Umberto Torresan

Subject: INFO-RUSS: travelers to x-USSR
Action for Post-Soviet Jewry wants to remind all
networkers in U.S. and Canada that we are always
looking for people traveling to the former USSR.
We need people to carry medicine, letters,etc.
Please contact us if you would like to help. At
the moment I am looking for people going to Riga,
Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Nizhny Novgorod, but
if you are going somewhere else, please let us
know. My next phone call could be somebody
with a sick relative in any number of places.
Thanks,
Sheila Galland
