Subject: Russia exchange
Greg: I am a teacher at Mountain View High School in Bend, OR. Last year
our school was selected by the United States Information Service (USIS) as
one of twelve in the U.S. to link with a high school in Russia. Our
partner school is Gymnasium 22 in Yaroslavl. This program was designed to
be an ongoing exchange between our two schools to encourage global thinking
and to improve relations between the peoples of the United States and the
former Soviet Union. Our first exchange was extremely successful and we
are maintaining contact via fax (we supplied the fax machine along with
many needed school supplies) until our next exchange in may of 1996. We
are desparately seeking funds to continue this amazing project. The USIS
only provided partial funding the first year. I am e-mailing you to see if
you might know of any sources or contacts for funding assistance that we
might be able to contact. We will be seeking funds from the sources you
list on-line, but if you know a specific direction you can point us our
students would greatly appreciate the assistance. If you or anyone else
would like additionalinformation about the Russia Link Program I will be
happy to provide it.
Thanks,

Please post to Friends and Partners. THANKS
Dear Friends
I am trying to help a young Ukrainian engineer get
the opportunity to come to the United States (or
Canada) for a year ONLY. He has already received
his BS and simply wants, if possible, the chance to
work in a Civil Engineering or computer related
job here for one year.
I know the odds of helping this fellow are probably
ZIP but any tips from any of you on what if
anything citizens from the former USSR can do or
should do to obtain a worker's visa here?
Thanks a lot for any help you may be able to give.

Subject: Two questions.
Does any one know if M. Lomonosov was an Old Believer? This question came
up in my History of Russian Language Class. We were talking about the
reforms in the Russian Language brought about by Lomonosov and some one
made the claim that Lomonosov was an Old Believer and that this influenced
the changes that he made. Can anyone verify this claim? Our prof. did
not know the answer to this question.
My second question concerns Russian Orthodoxy. Does anyone know if
Russian Orthodoxy accepts the tenet of Original Sin? Do Orthodox
believers believe that all humans are born sinful?
I would greatly appreciate any information on these two questions.

My Name is Jeremy Tasch. I am a geographer at the Graduate School of
Geography, Clark University, U.S. I am researching the environmental,
economic, and social implications for the Russian Far East of United Nations
sponsored development along the Tumen River.
I am hoping to find names of organizations (environmental, corporate, NGO,
academic, state, with hopefully names and contact addresses) who may have some
stake in whether the natural resources of the region become further developed
and in what manner they do.
I would also like to find a study in Russia program, in Vladivostok,
Khaborovsk,or Petropavlovsk-Kamchatkii.
If this is not possible, perhaps anyone would have suggestions on how to
obtain this type of information?
Thank you very much,

Subject: Portland, OR Env. Baikal Russia Talk
For Immediate Release For more information
October 27, 1995 Michael Segal (503)-229-6734
EWBA Presents "A Celebration of Russia." Special Emphasis on Ties to
Lake Baikal.
Oregonians have developed strong ties with Eastern Russia in the
business realm and in promoting a protected natural environment. The
East West Business Associ- ation, along with the Portland-Khabarovsk
Sister City Association and the World Affairs Council, will hold a
reception and presentation on Wednesday November 8 at 5:30 in the Nordic
Room in the basement of Smith Memorial Center, Portland State University,
1825 SW Broadway. Admission is $4.00 for non-members $2.00 for students.
Portland, through the sponsorship of WAC, is currently playing host
to over twenty young entrepreneurs and local leaders from the Russian
cities of Irkutsk and Ulan Ude. EWBA and the other sponsors are welcoming
them to Oregon with a brief reception to start the Celebration of Russia.
A presentation on Lake Baikal will follow entitled "The Sacred Lake:
Preserving Russia's Environmental Treasure."
Alexei Nikifornov is a founder of the Baikal Institute for
Econology and Natural Resource Use, a Russian non-profit dedicated to
maintaining Baikal's environmental integrity.
Zane Smith is Senior Vice President of Programs for Oregon-based
Ecologically Sustainable Development, Inc. (ESD) which was awarded a $3
million grant from USAID to work with Russian government officials and
citizens to create a plan for resource and land management.
Andrea Lafayette-Fisher, of Portland, has just returned from
three months as ESD's development coordinator in the Baikal area and is
also US director of the Irkutsk Information Center.
Lake Baikal is the worl's largest lake and harbors more than 1800
unique species of plant and animal life. Russians consider it the
"clean, clear heart of the world, and an environmental treasure." The
lake is but one region in the vast Siberian area where unparalleled
pristine beauty and great environmental damage are side by side.
The East West Business Association holds a meeting on the first
Wednesday of each month. This month marks an exception. EWBA promotes
business ties and other contacts between the Portland area and former
Soviet Bloc Countries.

Subject: NIS Secondary School Initiative School Linkages Program
NIS Secondary School Initiative School Linkages Program
SPONSOR: United States Information Agency
SYNOPSIS: Support is provided for public and private non-profit
organizations to conduct exchanges through school linkage programs to
include an exchange of students and an exchange of teachers and
administrators with countries of the Newly Independent States (NIS) of
the former Soviet Union. The maximum award will be $800,000.
DEADLINES: 11-17-1995
OBJECTIVES: The sponsor provides support to conduct exchanges
through the multiple secondary school linkage program with countries
of the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union. The
countries are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and
Uzbekistan. Priority will be given to exchanges outside of Moscow and
St. Petersburg. Also in an effort to clarify possible thematic foci,
suggested themes for exchange projects include but are not limited to
the following: health education, civics education, social and
environmental issues, in both the U.S. and the NIS, the American
political system, youth leadership training, computer technology, the
environment, agriculture, business administration/management
(including enterprise promotion), and volunteerism. The short-term
goal of the school linkage program is to provide partial funding for
linkages between U.S. and NIS schools featuring student and educator
exchanges for the purpose of collaborative substantive projects. Grant
funded exchanges must have a thematic focus and have tangible outcomes
(e.g. educational materials). The long term goals are to: advance
mutual understanding between the U.S. and the NIS; develop lasting
institutional ties between U.S. and NIS schools and communities; and
promote U.S. government/private sector cooperation by supporting
linkages which hold promise for sustainability beyond the grant term
and serve the needs and interests of the schools. The linkages between
networks of secondary schools in the U.S. with networks of schools in
the NIS must establish ties between the schools in the network through
two sets of exchange program; the exchange of secondary school
educators between the U.S. and NIS countries; and the exchange of
secondary school students, from 14 to 18 years of age, between the
U.S. and participating NIS countries. The recipient must indicate how
activities have been funded in the past and how the activities will be
expanded with assistance from selecting/organizing a minimum of three
U.S. secondary schools to form the U.S. network, strengthening an
existing working relationship with an organizations or agency of
government in the NIS responsible for a network of schools there, and
linking the two networks through substantive exchange activities.
RESTRICTIONS: Eligible applicants are public and private nonprofit
organizations. The maximum grant award will be $800,000. Awards to
organizations with less than four years of experience conducting
international exchange programs will be limited to $60,000. Funds may
not be used for student or teacher exchanges located in the cities of
Moscow or St. Petersburg, Russia. Cost sharing is strongly encouraged
and will be viewed favorable in weighing the merits of the proposal.
Application forms and guidelines are available. Please refer to
program number E/P-96-14 when requesting information. When spanning
the project, U.S. and NIS schools are strongly encouraged to consult
with the Cultural Affairs Officer (CAO) or Public Affairs Officer
(PAO) at the appropriate U.S. Information Service (USIS) office at the
U.S. Embassy or U.S. consulate in the appropriate country. Faxed
documents will not be accepted. Source: Federal Register (08/17/95)
