I just wanted to say that I support your page. I traveled to a city called
Barnaul, Russia during the month of April in 1996. I enjoyed the trip and
the people of Russia were very nice to the whole group. I hope sometime in
the near future that I will be able to return to Russia and stay for more
than a month.

I am a Purdue student, who spent last summer in Ryazan and Novgorod,
Russia. I would love to correspond with anyone interested in Russia. I am
a pre-veterinary medicine student. I am also supposed to be making a web
page about my trip to Russia for our Veterinary School. I want to have
audio on it, preferably a song. Ideally "Oy da ne vecher." If you know of
somewhere on the web that I can get this from, please contact me!

Subject: Cyrillic
Hello
Actually, I am interested in finding either a good sample of ENGLISH text
but in Cyrillic characters, or some method of converting English text into
Cyrillic characters. The idea is for me to be able to read familiar
English language, but be forced to learn the Cyrillic characters by seeing
Cyrillic used in place of English characters.
Thanks

Subject: Russian Villages in 1875
I have been trying to determine the location in 1875 Russia of two villages,
Elizabethgrad and Jaloswodgrad. These were the homes of my grandparents
(village names taken from their naturalization documents), and for a year now
I have had no success in finding either location. Can you help? I would
certainly appreciate any consideration you can give this request. Thank you.

Hundreds of thousands celebrate Moscow's birthday
Hundreds of thousands of people poured onto the streets of Moscow for
a celebration filled with songs, dance and spectacle to celebrate the
Russian capital's 850th anniversary. Moscow officials said Sunday 3
million people attended concerts, parades and other festivities.
Earlier estimates had put the number at several hundred thousand. One
event was solemn. Alexiy II, Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church,
blessed the walls of a cathedral which Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov has
rebuilt more than 60 years after Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered
it to be destroyed. For full story see

Hello, my name is Daylene Lauman and I am both a Social Studies teacher
and technology coordinator at a school in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I
teach grade 9 Social Studies, and it is part of our curriculum to teach
about Russia (historical aspects), as well as the economy of the United
States. I wondered if there was any way that I might be able to get my
students involved in meeting other studies in either or both of these
countries via email projects. Please share your thoughts with me
regarding this possibility. Thanks so much for your consideration!
Sincerely,
Daylene Lauman

any information you might have regarding these locals? If not, do you know

Subject: Environmental Seminar in Novorossiysk - final call for
participation
Dear friends,
I would like to attract your attention to a project of International
Discussion Club - creation of a city park and an arboretum in Russian
city of Novorossiysk and an environmental seminar there.
http://www.cis.lead.org/zarov/arboretum/
Please, contact me for the further details if you are interested.
Please, forward this information through your organization, your
friends and anyone who can be interested.
Sincerely yours,
Andrey Ozharovskii.
http://www.cis.lead.org/zarov/
---------------------------------------
The International Discussion Club has the honor to announce an
international seminar "Social Activism in Practical Urban
Environmental Projects". The seminar is to be held on October 6-12 in
Novorossiysk, the largest Russian industrial city and port on the
Black sea.
The seminar has the aim of bringing together representatives of
different sectors of society (NGO, science, municipal administration,
universities, charitable foundations) from different countries and of
sharing their experience in implementating urban environmental
projects.
The seminar will concentrate on practical urban environmental
projects - creation, protection and upkeep of city parks, botanical
gardens, arboretums, etc. Both practical and institutional aspects of
this problem will be discussed. A project "Arboretum in Novorossiysk"
which is being implemented by a local initiative group with the
support of the city administration and Leadership for Environment and
Development foundation will be analyzed as a case study.
The seminar program will give the participants an opportunity to
communicate with professors and students from the local university and
even to make their own presentations for local activists. Site visits
and an excursion to a famous vineyard of Abrau Durso is on the agenda
as well.
Participants fron CEE with relevant professional experiense can
apply for a free place and even for compensation of all the travel
expanses. Number of free places is limited.

ACDA William C. Foster Fellows Visiting Scholars Program
SPONSOR: U.S. Arms Control & Disarmament Agency
SYNOPSIS: The sponsor provides opportunities for specialists in the physical
sciences and other disciplines to offer their expertise and services to
the sponsor's arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament activities.
One year appointments will be made. The scholars' universities will be
compensated for salaries and benefits; travel and per diem or relocation
costs will also be reimbursed.
DEADLINES: 01-31-1998
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the program is to give specialists from a variety
of fields, including the physical sciences, engineering, international
relations, economics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and computer science,
an opportunity to offer their expertise and services to the arms control,
nonproliferation, and disarmament activities of ACDA. Positions are available
in the following offices: Bureaus of Strategic and Eurasian Affairs;
Intelligence,
Verification and Information Management; and Nonproliferation Policy and
Regional Arms Control. Evaluation of the applicants will focus on the expertise
needed by the sponsor, rather than on the scholars' previously displayed
interest in arms control. Visiting scholars may be able to pursue their
own line of research, but support of such activity is not the purpose of
the program.
RESTRICTIONS: Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens, on the faculty
of a recognized U.S. institution of higher learning, and tenured or on
a tenure track. Applicants must have served as a permanent career employee
of the institution for at least ninety days prior to selection for the

compensated for salaries and benefits according to the Intergovernmental
Personnel Act and within sponsor limitations. Visiting scholars will also
receive support for travel to and from the Washington, DC area and either
a per diem allowance or relocation costs.

in which the applicant is interested, the applicant's expertise, curriculum
vitae, and other relevant material including letters of reference and copies
of publications. Source: Federal Register (08/21/97) Vol. 62, No. 162,
