Your page serves a useful purpose. About a year ago, I left my name,
etc. and have since been trading E-mail letters with a couple of very
interesting individuals in/near Moscow.
With two of the "Pen-Pals" we just passed our first anniversary. It
is quite enjoyable regularly trading electronic mail back and forth around
the world.
Thanks.

As a retired Military Serviceman, it made my heart cry when I read the many
articles published in the West, that detail the heart ache and pain the
Soviet Serviceman is currently going thru. I pray that you learn from our
pains when the Vietnam was ended. Take your serviceman into your hearts
and reward them with your love, respect and honor to one who has given his
youth to the defense of his country. Be it right or wrong. Let them know
you are proud of their sacrifice, dedeication and honor. Give them a leg
up in life, for they have given so much, that can never be returned to
them. My friends at the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars do
extend our respect to all who serve their country. Semper Fi

Friends and Partners is a great site. I discovered it on my
Gore-Chernomyrdin research for a Russia, U.S., Canada joint venture I've
been working on for two years and am encouraged by the communication I find
here.
Keep up the good work. And if anyone in Moscow knows how I might establish
contact via the Net with Eugeni Shubniakov, of Ilyushin Design Bureau,
please ask him to write.

I am very happy to have found this side. It is a great idea, after decades
of mistrust and hate, we finally come together and and trying to understand
each others problems, and surprise we have so much in common and so much to
learn from each other. To secure peace and progress we seriously have to
work together. After all there is hope. Keep up the good work.

Subject: Help with Russian/English Translation
)To List members of FRIENDS,
Thank you so much for your overwhelming response to our letter asking for
assistance in translating Russian medical records. We have more than enough
volunteers now to translate our documents. If any of you know someone who
lives in Naples, Florida, we would love to meet them and would like to have
friends that speak Russian so that our boys will have an easy time in their
transition to the USA.
Thank you very much.

Subject: I cannot print Russian Web pages
I recently installed KOI-8 and Windows 1251 Cyrillic fonts on my Netscape
and Microsoft Explorer Web browsers. I can read Web pages in Russian just
fine. However, I cannot print them. When I try to print them on our printer,
they come out as garbage. I would appreciate instructions on what to do to
enable the browser to print Cyrillic Web pages.

It would be intresting to know the prices of common items in
places like Moscow and St. Petersburg mainly for browsers
and would be tourists. I know they fluctuate and would not
be accurate but it would be a " ballpark" idea and it would
not be too hard to update occasionaly. Thank You John

Subject: Questions
Zdrastvuytye,
I would like to ask everyone a few questions about patents. A Russian
friend of mine would like to know the answers to these 3 questions:
-What country and state have the most unexpensive patenting for an
inventions?
-Is it possible, according to US law, to patent an invention for foreigner
who is not US citizen and lives abroad?
-Is it possible to get patent without traveling to the US, for example, with
help of regular mail or electronic mail?
Anybody who can help me with any of it, please write to me. Thanks.

Subject: Language learning/translation software
Greetings Friends,
I've been reading the message summary files for almost a year and have
seen more than one inquiry about language software. You might try your local
bookstore, specifically the larger ones. They often carry international
business magazines which contain advertisements for language training and
translation. The better the quality the higher the price. Bring a pen and
notebook to avoid buying too many magazines. I also find this an interesting
and productive source of internet addresses to explore.
Good hunting ! Tom Wisner 75304,2434@compuserve.com

Subject: INFORMATION
TO: FRIENDS & PARTNERS
I am American,now retired,living in PAPHOS,CYPRUS.I have a problem and a
project that I thought initially was going to be simple, and now I find,
isn't.Now that im retired my wife and I are going home to the USA.I have
Real Estate here in Phapos Cyprus,a lovely home with pool and etc.that I
have full title to.I am on the internet and have tried contacting ROL
and all sorts of other contacts in Russia with no success.I constantly
get back REAL ESTATE AGENTS in Russia who and at the moment I have no
interest in making contact with.What I want to do is place a personal
advertisement in the largest Russian Newspaper with the largest
distribution,( Where there is a section for this sort of advertising) of
my Property for sale here in Cyprus.I have the advertising format ready
and cannot seem to make contact.I have tried Izvestia direct both on
telephone and Fax but no response or cant seem to reach someone that
speaks english.Perhaps you could direct me to some one there at the
paper.
The second part of my project is to reach the general Russian poulation
that may be interested in my propertry here in Cyprus on the Russian
Internet sites.I have no idea how to do this and cannot seem to secure
information from anyone that can help me secure this information.
I do not speak nor can I communicate in the Russian language however I
do have a friend here in Paphos that can help me respond to Fax
inquires in the Russian language.It is my understanding that if I place
an advertisement in the Russian language 'AMERICAN OWNER OF PROPERT IN
CYPRUS FOR SALE and etc.that the Russian person who may be interested in
my property for sale advertising will find a way to respond in English?
I dont know if this is a correct assumption?
This is my project now for this summer.I am in no rush to sell and am
very interested in making contact with someone who understands this
effort and may assist me in making the proper effort into this market
without REAL ESTATE AGENT representation.I am interested on a Private
SALE level only.
Thank you for your assist.Cogratulations on an outstanding WEB Page.
Sincerly,
Nils Wedin
