Subject: Cheap flight to USA?
Dear Friends,
My fiance' who lives in St. Petersburg just got her visa and I need to find
her a flight to San Francisco or Los Angeles in mid-December. We had
planned for her to fly on Air France on December 15 and I thought I had a
flight secured but it just fell through. I wanted Air France because
Aeoflot has significant baggage restrictions and she would have to fly
first to Moscow which I hope to avoid. My fiance is an artist and needs to
bring some rather large-dimension items plus her personal belongings. If
anyone knows a good alternative method of bringing her to me without a
great expense please e-mail me.
Thanks for your help.

We send this information to all interested in travelling
across Siberia by train. You can buy tickets in Vladivostok, it
costs $377(second class),$713(first class) for foreigners one way from
Vlad to Moscow. If you want to get off at some stops, you have, first,
to buy full ticket from Vlad to Moscow, second, have all cities that you
want to visit in your visa(because you have to check in at cashier(kassa)
if you stay at that place less than for a day, and to register at hotel,
if you spend more than one day there). That is what I was said in Intourist
office in Vladivostok(4232)-212768.
Hope you will find this information useful and will enjoy Russian
Trans-Siberian Rail! You may contact me if you are planning to come
to Vladivostok,

Subject: Any Russian English Dictionary publisehers out there?
Dear Friends:
I am contacting you in hopes that you might be able to give me some
advice. I am looking for publishers for a Russian-Engish dictionary of
Diplomacy. It has been published in Russia and has been well received, but has
not provided much income for its authors. Thay have asked me to act as their
agent in contacting prospective publishers abroad and negotiating the terms of
their contract. A colleague of mine in the U.S. is researching possible
publishers, but the process has been slow. If anyone knows of a publisher that
would be interested, please e-mail me directly. If you have any advice on how
to find a publisher I would welcome suggestions.
I very much appreciate any assistance that you might offer. Because I
am in Moscow my resources are very limited. Thank you for your assistance.

I am writing because I am looking for information concerning funding and
exchange opportunities. I am currently working to form my own chamber
orchestra comprised of young, emerging college music students for the
summer of 1996. My goal is to travel to central Europe for a period of 6
weeks to perform and study while sharing our music with the communities
and cultures we visit. The intention is to promote international
friendship through the performing arts. I am looking for assistance in
identifying possible funding sources for this project. I am also looking
for assistance in planning this project. Our exact destination has not
been determined because we are still in the process of locating the
necessary funds for this project. If you have any ideas that might be
helpful, please let me know. I appreciated your time.
Sincerely,

Subject: On the Rocket
Dear Patrick_Comey@Compuserve,
Thanks for sharing your rocket experience, I have one I would share,
and following your lead, am sticking it on the list.
Truly the Rocket is a great way of making a short hop, and of all the
times I have been on a rocket, my favorite trip would be the Kiev-Kaniv trip
on the Dniper.
Not really a long trip (a couple of hours), it takes you from the
port in the center of Kiev to the port just outside of the Shevchenko Museum
in Kaniv. The Museum contains a lot of really nice art, and writings, and is
nestled in a park. From the hills on the bank of the Dniper you can understand
why Taras asked to be buried there. ( BTW He's there ) Travel back to Kiev
aprox every 3 hours.
You mentioned in your letter, you felt like a Tourist, next time you
get over here, try this, Go to the Kievsky Vokzal (Moscow) and at the ticket
window say " Die te Pashalusta, odien billet doo Gomelya v Belaruse, ah Minya
Obshe Vagon, vosley mesta treecet vosmova, yesly moshna conneshna" When you
get here, give me a call, 55-00-17, I'll put ya up in the guest apartment,
and feed you Ukrainian Snikers (Black Bread & Salo (fat) ), I promise you
will not feel like a Tourist (grin)
( seriously folks, if anyone wants to come to Gomel, and will speak in
some local classes to students, I'll help them, a train from Moscow costs $20,
and i'll takecare of the rest )
Best,
David Stickney

I need to know if there will be any eastern european
women (scholars) from the fields of Women's and Gender
Studies traveling to the United States in or around the
month of March 1996. I am on the Women's History Month
Committee at the University of Michigan - my area of
specialty as a women's historian is eastern Europe and
I would very much like to introduce a colleague from
that area who could present her views of women's
struggles and accomplishments - feminists in the U.S.
are on a vastly different track than women in Russia,
Poland, and so on. I have been in touch with the
university in Czechoslavakia - Women's Studies Dept. -
and I want my colleagues to realize they are actually
alienating their sisters in eastern Europe by
ethnocentralizing their theory ... American beliefs
DO NOT apply to the world at large.
Anyway, my friend, I cannot offer travel expenses -
since I am just a poor working scholar; however, I
will provide a place to stay, food, friendship, a
grand tour of local environ, and a wonderful exchange
of ideas, theories, and scholarship.
PLEASE reply as soon as possible! Michael Davids
