Digest for 96-01-11
Dear Friends,
We were notified yesterday that Friends and Partners will be featured as
a part of the "24 Hours in CyberSpace" project - a collaborative effort by
Eastman Kodak, Sun Microsystems, Adobe Systems and other technology and
publishing companies to tell how 'Cyberspace' is changing people's lives.
)From their press release:
"On February 8th, 1996, 1,000 photographers - including 100 of the world's
top photojournalists - will fan out around the globe, documenting
how Cyberspace is changing people's lives. . . . Their targets will be
the most intriguing stories from the on-line frontier, from rural Nepal to
Oakland's inner-city ghetto to the boardrooms of New York City.
Editorially, 24 Hours in Cyberspace aims to capture the human face of the
online revolution - the new ways in which we work, play, learn, conduct
business and interact. .. The results will be broadcast over the Internet
in real time on February 8th, making it the largest one-day online event to
date."
You can find additional information at http://www.Cyber24.com.
One of the photojournalists working on this project will be travelling to
Pushchino, Russia to talk to and photograph Natasha, her family, and
co-workers. We have been asked to help provide information on how the
Internet is being used in the NIS and how it is used to foster exchange and
cooperation between people and organizations in our countries.
Please share your stories with Barry Sundermeier at bsun@aao.com. And if
you could copy us (frnds@solar.rtd.utk.edu), we will compile all the
material into a special server on Friends and Partners.
This is an interesting opportunity to tell the world some good news about
how the Internet is helping us learn from and work with each other. Thanks
for your help!

Subject: Samovars
Greetings to all. This is my first posting to the list, and I look forward to
participating.
An article appeared in the Washington Post last month about the history of
samovar manufacturing in Tula. My great-grandfather, Pytor Andrevich Vagin,
lived in Tula, and the family story is that he owned a small samovar factory.
Does anyone know of a point-of-contact in Tula that might have records of him or
his work? At one time my parents had a samovar that was supposedly made by him,
but it was destroyed in a fire in the 1970s.
Many thanks,
Peter Ansoff

Sender: American Council of Teachers of Russian@solar.rtd.utk.edu
Subject: Two schools in Russian Far East (fwd)
School number 14 in Vladivostok is interested in having a native speaker
English teacher for their school, preferably for classes 5-9, or for
classes 10-11. Last year they had an American from Alaska, and were
very encouraged by the improvements in their students' language skills.
They can provide room and board (the teacher would live with the family
of another teacher, own room provided). Full year or a few months ok.
The school does not have email, but if anyone is interesed in
visiting this school, I will be glad to be an intermediary for the
preliminary stages. Please respond to (Allegra@actr.marine.su)
Vladivostok is a port city on the Pacific, not far from China,
Korea, Japan. Population approx 800,000. It was a closed city until
1992, but has changed by leaps and bounds since then. Nowadays there
are many foreign businesses and organizations, and a relatively large
ex-pat population.
***********************************
Pevek, a small mining city on the Arctic coast, is interested in
any kind of exchange between high schools. School number 1 has a special
program of intensive English, and a bunch of very talented english-speaking
children, and would like for them to have more chances to practice, more
first-hand experience, and ultimately, more opportunities.
Possible exchanges could be between teachers (two teachers exchange places
for a couple of months, to teach their native language), between students
(a small group of students visits for a couple of weeks, then become
hosts for their couterpart group), etc. They are also interested in
teaching materials, english-language books and newspapers, etc.
They are especially interested in exchanges with Alaska, since it is
easier to get to (Pevek is rather remote, but there are flights
to Alaska from Anadyr and Provideniya), however they would be interested
in any exchange opportunities. They are very enthusiastic and energetic,
and would make good partners.
Pevek is in the Autonomout Okrug of Chukotka, and located on the Arctic
Coast, on Chaunskaya Bay. Chukotka is a closed area: special permission
is needed to go there (which the Education Administration would take care
of for you). Pevek rarely has foreign visitors (I was just there in Dec,
and the previous foreinger registered at the hotel was there in June).
The population of Pevek is less than 10,000, and decreasing as the mines
close. Despite the small size, there is a nice little museum (including
info on the nearby gulags), an art salon, and more. Arctic nights are cold,
but offer Northern Lights. Summers offer fishing, berry and mushroom picking,
a visit to the Chuckchi reindeer-herding village, or the remains of
the gulag.
Again, the Education Admin doesn't have email, but I could be an intermediary
for the preliminary stages of contact (a call or fax from Vladivostok is
cheaper than from abroad). Contact me at (Allegra@actr.marine.su)

Subject: Russia and West Virginia: A Partnership For Exchange Foundation, Inc.
Greetings. For those of us on the east coast of the United States, it
seems more like Russia then it does the US. The organization I represent,
Russia and West Virginia: A Partnership For Exchange Foundation, Inc. is a
non-profit volunteer run foundation that works with our Russian partners to
promote understanding in business, education, culture and governance
between America and Russia. Our Russian partners in Kaliningrad, Moscow
Region, have arranged a cultural trip this spring. There are some spaces
available. For anyone interested, contact me, or Virginia Simmons, whose
e-mail and snail mail addresses are enclosed. We look forward to seeing
some of you in April.
Also, I would like to hear from other similar groups who have experiences
and information to share about working with, and in, Russia.
Sincerely,
Eric Douglas
Take the Ultimate Cruise through the heart of the country where Russia
originated more than 1,000 years ago. The cruise is leaving from Odessa,
Ukraine on May 20 and will cross the Black Sea and proceed up the Dnieper
River passing many of the oldest cities in the region on the way to Kiev.
Russian culture began in Kiev, a city that is still declared an
architectural marvel.
Adventurers taking the cruise will arrive in Moscow on May 18. After a
brief sightseeing excursion in Moscow, you will take a chartered plane to
Odessa where the cruise will really begin.
The Marshall Rybalko is a multi-level cruise liner popular for
international conferences, presentations and festivals for ambassadors and
foreign dignitaries. Built in Germany, the ship is 130 meters long, 17
meters wide, 14 meters high with a passenger capacity of 321 people. Its
top speed is more than 14 knots. Sleeping cabins on the cruise liner are
air-conditioned. Bed rooms are available with one or two beds and all
include full bathroom facilities and a refrigerator. With a cruise agenda
like the one that awaits travelers on the Marshall Rybalko, there is no
reason to spend much time in your cabin.
For evening enjoyment, there are four bars, a restaurant, a swimming pool,
sauna and solarium among other amenities. Performing during the cruise
will be the Presidential Orchestra of the Russian Federation, on loan from
Boris Yeltsin himself. It is his personal world class orchestra after all.
The Presidential Orchestra will be joined by soloists from the Bolshoi
Theater to make things even more interesting.
If world-standard classical music is not enough, how about the addition of
two traditional Russian music groups, The Moscow Balalaika Quartet and The
Golden Ring Singers and various mime groups. Just to make the floating
entertainment complete, the 60's Rock and Roll group The Esquires will also
be along. The last time The Esquires visited Russia, they appeared on
Russian national television in front of an estimated audience of 120
million people
The chartered flight from Moscow will leave the adventurers in Odessa, a
city known as the Pearl of the Black Sea. Your stay in Odessa will be
highlighted by a visit to the Odessa State Theater, an architects delight,
The Potyomkin Stairway and a stroll along the sea boulevard among other
things in Odessa. From there you will visit Sevastopol, the motherland of
the Russian Navy. These are just a few of the many cities that adventurers
will visit but in every city along the way a superb cultural program awaits
you.
Finally, the river trip will end in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. This
entire tour will take you to the oldest and most beautiful locale along the
Dnieper River and the Black Sea where a surprise is waiting at every turn
of the ship.
A return flight will take the adventurers back to Moscow for a little more
sightseeing and culture before the return flight home.
LEADERSHIP SEMINAR: As an added bonus , there will also be a leadership
seminar for graduate credit offered for 20 invited scholar participants.
If interested please contact Virginia Simmons or indicate your interest on
the application form.
Cost: The trip costs $3,500 per person or $6,500 for a double occupancy
cabin. The trip includes all arrangements and meals in Moscow and on the
cruise, the charter flight and all activity arrangements. The only
additional costs are the airfare, expected to be about $800 from New York
or Washington, D.C., passports, visas and money you will spend on
souvenirs.
There is only space for 70 Americans on the cruise and reservations are
already coming in so you need to make contact quickly.
For more information, or to reserve your place on this ultimate trip,
contact the Russian and West Virginia Foundation -- The Ultimate Cruise at
(304) 345-2889. E-mail at simmons@access.k12.wv.us or vsimmonsped@aol.com
or write to the foundation at: 2106 Kanawha Blvd. East, Unit B217,
Charleston, WV 25311.
