WHAT'S NEW . . .

* While mentioned briefly in a recent edition of this "digest", we wish
  to call special attention to a large new WWW server describing the
  city and academic community of Pushchino, Russia.

  Besides illustrating this beautiful, well planned community of 21,000
  people on the banks of the Oka River (120k south of Moscow), the new
  server provides some insight into the organization and structure of a
  Russian scientific city.

  Please visit at URLs:

     http://alice.ibpm.serpukhov.su/friends/pushchino/engver/

  Make sure to visit the various exhibits on the local schools
  and, *especially*, the Pushchino children's on-line art exhibition:

  Our thanks to Elena Vorobyeva, Evgeny Mitikovsky, Dmitry Kichukov, Tigran
  Arzamanov, Elena Chervikova, and Kathy Gelhar who helped Natasha put this
  interesting and attractive new server together.


* The Mir House can source and market products, opportunities, and
  information throughout the world.  Contains information on their
  well-reviewed book "Business in the Russian Free Market."

Subject: exchange student from Vladivostok, Russia

Hello, everybody!

I am an exchange student from Vladivostok, Russia and I am just wondering if
anybody could help me to solve a little problem.

I have a friend in Russia who is trying to e-mail me. Unfortunately, he uses
=46idonet, and his messages just can't come through (don't ask me why, this =
is
the first question I want ask you). I use standard for the USA e-mail system
(Eudora) and have access to Internet. So, could anybody tell me, please,
what the problem is? Is connection between two nets a real problem?
The fact is that he can e-mail me on my account on a BBS in Georgia but I
cannot reply him from there, and vice versa, I believe I can e-mail him from
campus but still can't get reply here from him.

And, finally, what IS fidonet? What is the difference between Fidonet and
Internet?

I would really appreciate any  help I can get.

I am an international trade legal assistant at the law firm of Baker

D.C. I am interested in making contact with people in Russia and the
other New Independent States interested in discussing legal
developments in the CIS. Perhaps, in return I might be able to share
some information on legal developments here in the United States.

I spent a semester in 1992 studying in the Judicial Faculty at Moscow
State University and would be very interested in conversing with
someone there or at GIMO or even at the Russian Academy of Sciences
via the Internet.

Can you help?

Subject: Re: Crime in Russia


There has been much discussion of the prevalence of crime in Russia recently
on this list.  For my own curiosity I have tried to get some perspective by
obtaining statistics for Russia (unmarked) and the USA (marked ***) and
placing them side by side.  List readers might find the results interesting.=
..

Total Reported Incidents           1995        1994        1990

Murders/Attempted Murders        31,500        32,300      15,600
***Murder and non-negligent
***manslaughter                     --         23,305      21,890


Grievous bodily harm             61,700        67,700          --

***Aggravated assault               --      1,119,950     416,300

***Total violent crime              --      1,820,500     625,900

Rape                             12,500        14,000          --

***Forcible rape                    --        102,096          --

It should be noted that the manner of reporting may significantly inflate
the Russian crime figures since the Russian Interior Ministry reports the
total number of cases, whereas the FBI only reports the number of actual
arrests.

Subject: Russian & Udmurt Language Study


Dear colleague,

We send this message to inform you about our Russian and Udmurt
language studies for foreign students in the Udmurt State University
(Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia).

Robert Hosken gave us your email address. For the past 2 1/2 years,
your wife and he have been living here.  He has been studying the
Udmurt language at the Udmurt State University, and for the past year
has been working on an Udmurt-English dictionary.

The University has recently developed formal programs for Russian and
Udmurt language studies for foreign students, and we have asked Robert
Hosken to help us disseminate the information about these programs.

Attached is the program description and an application form.  Please
note that these programs may serve as an opportunity for your students to
perfect their Russian fluency, and/or begin studies in the Udmurt language.

The University here would be greatly obliged if you could also forward
copies to other universities that have programs for Russian,
Scandinavian, Finno-Ugric or Asian Studies where you believe there may be so=
me
interest in this offering.

Yours truly,

Dr. Victor A. Baranov
Dr. Marina N. Buldakova

-------------------------------
Udmurt State University,
Department of Russian Philology,
Department of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language,
and Department of Udmurt Philology

Udmurt State University is making available three levels of study of
the Russian language, especially designed for U.S. and Canadian college
and university students, and special studies in the Udmurt language and
culture, at very reasonable cost and in a unique part of Russia.

We are located in Izhevsk, the capital city of the Udmurt Republic,
which is part of the Russian Federation.  Izhevsk is about 1000 kilometers
(625 miles) due east of Moscow.  The Udmurt Republic, or Udmurtia as it is
called, with a population of 1.6 million people, is about the size of the
state of
Vermont, and the climate is similar.  Izhevsk's population is about 700,000
people, mostly Russians.  The Udmurt people, who mainly live in smaller town=
s
and villages, are the largest Finno-Ugric language group in Russia.

Udmurt State University has approximately 14,000 students (and
growing), making it one of the largest educational institutions in Russia
outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg.  There are daily express trains and
airplane flights connecting Izhevsk directly to these major cities, and Izev=
sk
boasts some of the best public transportation outside these cities.  Izhevsk
also has many museums, concert halls, movie theaters and parks.

Cost of living is much lower in Izhevsk than in Moscow or St.
Petersburg, thus reducing considerably the total expense of your education
abroad. Your living accomodations should be arranged in advance: individual
apartments, comfortable rooms in dormitories and in hotels are available, an=
d
students can also live with Russian families, which adds to the learning
experience.

The three courses in Russian language and one course in Udmurt
language which we offer are as follows:


                   BEGINNING RUSSIAN FOR FOREIGNERS

The Department for Russian for Foreigners offers a one-semester
immersion course for beginners at 20 full hours (24 academic hours) per week=
 in
class. The program may be adapted according to the students' language
proficiency, however it contains the following sections:

I.   A conversational course
     It includes material grouped by a topical and situational
II.  Main difficulties of Russian
     The material covers many aspects: phonetics, grammar, vocabulary.
     Much attention is focused on the universal difficulties of
     Russian. The vocabulary is developed, taking into consideration the
     student's knowledge of Russian.
III. Written practice
     This part implies providing writing skills, and is of great
     importance for mastering oral speech skills as well.

We recommend this course as the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 years of
university-level undergraduate Russian instruction in North America.

The course is 15 weeks and provides 300 clock hours (360 academic
hours) of instruction.  Groups consist of 5-7 students matched for language
proficiency. The cost of the course is $1500.  Dates of the course are:=
 Feb.5 -
May 24, 1996;  Sep. 2 - Dec. 13, 1996;  and Feb. 3 - Apr. 25, 1997.

(Important: See NOTE on textbooks below.)
--------



                  INTERMEDIATE RUSSIAN FOR FOREIGNERS

The Department of Russian for Foreigners offers a one-semester
immersion course for for intermediate students at 20 full hours (24
academic hours) per week in class. The program is designed to involve
students in speaking everyday language and mastering their language
proficiency. Prerequisite for this course is basic speaking and
listening skills (the beginning course described above, or equivalent).
The main aspect of this course is practice in conversations, considering
the student's knowledge of Russian.  We recommend this course as the
equivalent of 1.5 to 2 years of university-level undergraduate Russian
instruction in North America.

The programme contains the following sections:
  - phonetics
  - conversational practice
  - grammar

After taking this course, students will be able to:
  - present dialogs of 7-8 responses.  They will include questions,
    answers, requests, invitations and responses;
  - participate in discussions;
  - speak on a given topic;
  - have a standard (normal) tempo of speech.

The course is 15 weeks and provides 300 clock hours (360 academic
hours) of instruction.  Groups consist of 5-7 students matched
for language proficiency.
The cost of the course is $1500.  Dates of the course are: Feb.5 -
May 24, 1996;  Sep. 2 - Dec. 13, 1996;  and Feb. 3 - Apr. 25, 1997.
--------

NOTE: Textbooks for *both* the beginning and intermediate courses are:
     _Russian Stage One_ (textbook, workbook and cassettes)
     _Russian Stage Two_ (textbook, workbook and cassettes)
     _Russian Stage Three_ (textbook)
      U.S. publisher:  Kendall Hunt Publishing Co. Call toll-free: 800-
      772-9165
      Russian publisher:  Russky Yazyk, Moscow

Unless you are a raw beginner (no previous Russian instruction), we
ask that you purchase *all* of these books in advance and bring them with yo=
u,
because we are unable to determine your exact level of language ability
before you arrive.  Raw beginners who intend to study *only one* semester he=
re
should bring all the materials for Stage One and Stage Two.  Allow time for
ordering them, if not available in local bookstores.  You will find that the=
y
make excellent reference books, as they were developed by both Russian and
American university-level professors of Russian language, thus they
address the specific needs of North American students, while at the same tim=
e
being true to the Russian language and culture.
--------


                   BUSINESS RUSSIAN FOR FOREIGNERS

The department of Russian for foreigners is offering a course of
Russian for foreign experts in the field of economics and trade.
The course is for intermediate to advanced students of Russian,
and is oriented to mastering speech skills in Russian in the
field of business communication. The course
contains actual topics for professionals in business, as follows:

    1. Presentation of your company
    2. Offers, advertisements, publicity
    3. Negotiations, contracts, appointments
    4. Banks, finances
    5. Office work

The main purposes of the course are:
- developing communication skills according to the program.
- teaching various types of speech activities, highlighting
characteristic
  properties of a text such as:
    * types of speech (oral or written texts)
    * presentation of the text (video & audiotexts)
    * various types of communication (text-monologs, dialogs, role-
playing)
    * types of texts (business letters, publicity, advertisements)
- teaching spontaneous dialog communication.

Special attention is given to conversational styles.  The given
material is presented successively, and it implies a gradual transition from
hearing the language to speech skills, from receptive activities to reproduc=
tive
and productive ones, from oral activities to written ones.  The course
may be adapted in accordance with students' language proficiency.

The course is ten weeks and provides 200 clock hours (240 academic
hours) of instruction.  Groups consist of 5-7 students matched for language
proficiency. The cost of the course is $1000.  Dates of the course are:
Mar. 4 -
May 17, 1996;  Oct. 7 - Dec. 13, 1996;  and Mar. 3 - May 16, 1997.
--------


                     UDMURT LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

The Department of Udmurt Philology is offering an intensive one-
semester course in Udmurt language and culture, at 20 clock hours (24 academ=
ic
hours) per week in class.  Approximately 2/3 of the course will be spent
studying the language, and 1/3 will be spent studying Udmurt ethnography,
history and culture, including trips to Udmurt villages.  Because instructio=
n
will be in Russian, prerequisites for this course are the beginning and
intermediate Russian courses shown above, or three to four years of universi=
ty-
level Russian in North America.  We recommend this course for graduates of
North American universities.

Textbooks and other materials will be made available on loan to
students for use during their time here.  An Udmurt-English / English-Udmurt
dictionary is in preparation and should be published in the spring of 1996.
Because of the smaller size of the groups, the program will be
custom-designed as
the group
is being formed.

The course is 15 weeks and provides 300 clock hours (360 academic
hours) of instruction.  Groups consist of 3-5 students.  The cost of the cou=
rse
is $1500.  Dates of the course are:  Feb.5 - May 24, 1996;  Sep. 2 -
Dec. 13, 1996;  and Feb. 3 - Apr. 25, 1997.

a former Jesuit monastery on the hill of Pizzofalcone, offering one
of the finest panoramas in Naples. An Academy under the Bourbons, it
was later turned into a military college, which as its motto states,
"prepares for life and for arms". Graduates from the school choose
between university and the military academies.

On every 18 november the 'Scuola Militare Nunziatella' celebrates the
anniversary of its foundation, in 1787, with a ceremony and the
National Reunion of old boys, culminating in the traditional march
past of cadets and former cadets.

The Association also issues the Revue "Contrappello" (about 3,000
copies), which is sent to all those who have attended the Military
School Nunziatella.

We have the purpose of developing cultural exchanges with similar
associationes, clubs, organizations, etc; we eventually could make
twin-exchanges, mutual visits and other. The members of the
Association agree to put up in hotels or in their same houses all
those who are interested, who, in turn, will return the hospitality.

Sincerely,
Dr. Gennaro Evangelista
