CCSI is currently preparing a revised, second edition of THE POST-SOVIET
HANDBOOK: A GUIDE TO GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND INTERNET RESOURCES IN
THE NEW INDEPENDENT STATES for publication at the end of this year.
We published the first edition with the University of Washington Press and
it has been a very popular resource, providing information about many
hundreds of reform-oriented, noncommercial projects in post-Soviet
societies. We want the second edition to be even better than the first.
For this, we need your help!!
CCSI invites independent nongovernmental organizations in the countries of
the former Soviet Union, as well as international NGOs carrying out
projects there, to send us the information requested below as soon as
possible. The key points of information needed are as follows.
1. Complete organization name
2. Address
3. Telephone number
4. Fax number
5. E-mail address
6. Web site address, if any
7. Name and title of organizational leader
8. Name and title of contact person, if different
9. Short history of organization, including year formed.
10. Reason for the formation of the organization.
11. Examples of recent significant accomplishments of the
organization.
12. Current focus of activities.
13. Any objective measures of the organization's size or influence:
e.g, offices in other cities, numbers of staff, total expenditures
for a recent year, major awards or other important recognition
received recently, etc.
14. Names of any partner organizations abroad and the cities and
countries where located.
In addition to THE POST-SOVIET HANDBOOK, CCSI intendsthis time to publish
a separate book for the five countries of formerly Soviet Central Asia.
Titled CIVIL SOCIETY IN CENTRAL ASIA, it will also be published with the
University of Washington Press at the end of the year.
If you have a Web site and all the information needed is on it and
current, just send us the address of your site. Otherwise, please send
your answers to the questions above to us by AUGUST 31, 1998. We cannot
guarantee that any information received after August 31 will be used in
these books, although we are always glad to have new material for our Web

projects, please pass this message on to them.

Hi, I am hoping someone at your organization will be able to tell me why
Dmitri Likhachev was mentioned as the last living Russian with any claims to
sainthood in the Time Magazine article on "Final Rites for the Czar." I am a
teacher for at risk youth. One of the activities I like to explore with my
students is current events. I'd like to have them research current issues
using the Internet so I need to learn how to use it myself. To do so, I am
taking a class this summer to learn more about the posibilities for
communication. One of my assignments is to contact web sites and ask a
typical student question. Thanks for considering my question for your

Subject: Regarding Genealogy
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am person of Russian heritage who has no clue where to begin the search for
roots and family name history. All sites that I have researched lead no where
in the search for any information on my family. My great grandparents escaped
Russia (White Russia) during the Russian Revolution in 1917/1918 and started a
family in the USA. However, they went to their graves with their family
histories and it really is a gap in me I have been trying to fill. Where do I
begin? The names are Ostapkevich and Renko, so they are unique names, not
like "smith" or "jones" for Russia. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Dear Recipients of CECHE's Global Health and Environment Bulletin,
You may recall that soon after you received our bulletin via e-mail, a
request was sent out for you to give us additional contact information, such
as your organization, address, phone/fax numbers, etc. Well, many of you
kindly replied and provided your information, which we began compiling for
our records. However, the file on the computer to which we were adding
everyone's information has somehow been corrupted, and we've therefore lost
most of the information we had entered (over 150 sets of info, when it was
last counted). I am VERY SORRY for the inconvenience this may cause, but
will each of you please send us your contact information again (or, for
those of you who haven't sent us anything yet, do so for the first time), so
we can try this again? I PROMISE we'll back the information up in more than
one place this time so it won't be lost again.

Hold a sense of the mystery of life by truly caring for the things
of the Earth, allowing for amazement & reverence, gathering wonder
daily. Safeguard human & humane options for dwelling on the Earth &
ensure that they are not superceded by the abundance & dazzle of
technology.
Enhance yourself & those around you by seeing things with fresh
eyes, moving toward new possibilities, other perspectives, toward
clarity & respect. Realize that an all-embracing theory of life might
offer false security at the expense of insights that could uncover a
surprising sense of meaning & mission.
