Subject: from Becky
Greetings from Dallas, Texas! When I was a child (I am 26 now), one of the
things that frightened me the most was Russia. Now I am an adult and we
have our countries working together. I have taken some Russian courses and
had a Russian roommate in college. The internet is the next frontier that
we as a society face - I am happy so far that the U.S. and Russia as well
as other countries' peoples are coming even closer together thanks to this
medium! Knowledge is our weapon in the fight against hatred! Ok, that's
enough from me. :)

I have traveled to Moscow and St Petersburg a few times for business(used
to fly for Pan Am) and once on my own. I met many wonderful friendly
people there and hope that even though it is rough there now that they will
stick it out. These things take time. I look forward to improving my
russian- it's hard to find a school here. I live in a tiny town south of
Atlanta Georgia and teaching French is far out enough for this area!I do
have a question maybe someone knows the answer to- When I was at the
Pushkin Museum I say a painting"Christ on the mount" I cannot remember the
painters' name and my friend and I are going crazy looking thru books! I
couldn't find an email# to the Pushkin-any ideas? Paka, emily

I am a 25 year old school teacher in Kentucky. I recently had the
priveledged opportunity to go on a mission trip with my church to Russia.
We worked with a church in Dmitrov. The Russian people are great! They
are very kind and hospitable. I was very impressed with the country and
it's people. I learned a great deal about the Russian culture. Our
mission team developed a close relationship with our host families, as well
as with our interpreters. I hope to return to Russia in the future. I was
very glad to find this website. I want to learn all I can about this
wonderful country. Thank You!

I think a joint website is a great idea. Now if we can just get our school
systems to start teaching Russian instead of Latin, then our kids of both
countries will be able to be even better friends. I look forward to

Subject: Russian-US aviation
Anyone interested in Russian aviation could be interested in taking a
look at the site www.bridgeofwings.com. Two American pilots are
recreating and commemorating the 1938 flight of three Russian pilots from
Moscow to the eastern edge of Siberia. The three flew under the worst of
conditions but opened up an entire section of the globe. The two
Americans are in northeastern Canada by now; they will be joined in
Moscow by two Russian pilots for the flight across Siberia. (The
Americans will then complete a circumnavigation, returning to the US.
They are flying a single-engine taildragger).
Part of the purpose of the flight is indeed contact between citizens of
the two countries.
Sincerely, Doug LaVerne, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Many of our international list members will be traveling to the
U.S. at some future point. For first time visitors, such visits

list of websites that will make that task easier.
In the list below, I have provided the website name, address, and
brief profile of the sites listed in the WSJ. I have confirmed
all of the addresses. The first two sites (City.Net and Yahoo)
seem to be the most useful.

Hello F & P,
As you'll notice from my address, I'm writing from France. Although you're
a US / Russia organisation, I wonder if you have some helpful tips on the
visa situation, esp. regaring Irkutsk (via whose web pages I got your
address).
I and my wife are planning / hoping to go there this autumn and preferably
on a Business Visa, giving us a bit more freedom to travel and also to do
some business research.
I wonder if you have any suggested contacts in Irkutsk who might be able /
willing to help out in this area? As you know, we would need an official
letter to accompany our application for a business visa.
Hoping to hear from you soon,

guest lectures at universities form Georgia to Slovenia. This year,
we would like to promote invitations from Central Asia too. The
purpose of this programme is to create or strengthen ties between CEU
and the host institution; to respond to specific regional needs in
terms of academic expertise; and to allow both academics and students
to experience CEU's approach to teaching. We also hope that such
short intensive visits will form the beginnings of
further collaboration - from joint research projects to curriculum
development.
*DISCIPLINES*
Any university in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet
Union may request from us such a visit, as long as the request is for
a discipline area that we teach.

Policy, International Relations and European Studies, Medieval
Studies, History (Modern and Early Modern), Gender and Culture, Legal

Economics, and South East European Studies. As a special provision,
we also accept fellowship applications in the area of Education
Policy.
This is an opportunity to all those interested in establishing
stronger contacts with the CEU or to those who may need short term
expertise in a particular subject area.
*COSTS*
Central European University pays all travel costs and provides money
for accommodation, if needed.
