Mailing Lists: Management Education in Transition Countries
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Maine Business School manages three internet mailing lists
which may be of interest to list members who follow management
education issues in transition economies.
The mailing list for the Russian Association of Business
Education (RABE) has been activated today. A brief profile of
RABE-L is attached to this note. For more information about
the Russian Association of Business Education, please feel
free to contact Natalia Evtikhieva, Director General of RABE. Her
e-address: 4257.g23@g23.relcom.ru
The Maine Business School also manages two related lists: UKRAINE
and CEEMAN-L. The UKRAINE list (114 list members in 9 countries)
serves a purpose similar to that of the RABE-L list, but focuses
on management education topics in Ukraine.. The CEEMAN-L list
(821 list members in 45 countries), managed on behalf of the
Central and East European Management Development Association
(CEEMAN), located in Slovenia, posts announcements related to
management education in the Baltics, Central/Eastern Europe,
Russia, Central Asia, Mongolia, and Vietnam. Postings to the
CEEMAN-L list are archived at the University of Geneva. To review
postings to date in 1998, you may go the following URL:
http://ecolu-info.unige.ch/archives/ceeman98/
List members who would like to be on any of the lists can send a
request directly to me at the e-mail address noted below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Profile: RABE-L Internet List
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RABE-L is an internet mailing list administered at the Maine
Business School (USA) on behalf of the Russian Association of
Business Education (RABE) and managed by Dr. Dennis McConnell.
Most list members are representatives of business schools and
management training programs in Russia, and international
organizations interested in working with business schools in
Russia.
The primary purpose of RABE-L is to provide information to
faculty and academic administrators in Russia who have been
isolated from important information sources for many years. The
list also seeks to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among
business schools and management training institutions in Russia.
The list serves more as a bulletin board than as a traditional
internet discussion list. The list is moderated (all messages to
the list are first screened by the list manager) - a feature
which protects the e-mail budgets of list members who are
required to pay substantial fees to receive e-mail at some
locations in Russia.
As list manager, my task is to monitor many electronic and print
information sources, to learn of new publications and information
resources, academic conferences, publishing and consulting
opportunities, and funding programs for research and academic
exchanges. Any information that would seem to be of interested to
Russian business/management educators is posted to RABE-L.
Interested individuals from other countries are welcome to join
the mailing list, and may find some of the postings useful /
interesting. However, the primary purpose of the list is to serve
the information needs of Russian faculty and educational
administrators.
Faculty and administrators in Russian business schools, manag-
ement training institutions, and economics programs, and other
individuals interested in the development of such programs in
Russia, can be added to the RABE-L mailing list by sending a
message directly to the list manager (Mac@maine.edu). Please
provide your name, e-mail address, postal address, institutional
affiliation, and academic/professional interests.

We have both seen the news stories about the problems going on in Russia and

musician, and their family, and send some care packages. I found your web

The new service THE RUSSIAN ARCHIVE is now online!
This new service is available to organizations, scholars and lovers of
Russian literature, history, culture and art.
Now anyone can receive copies of Russian archival material quickly and
cheaply, with no need to travel to Russia and spend hours going through
catalogs. Russian Archive works with all major Russian historical, literary
and artistic collections and can do all the work for you.
This is how the service works:
Once you have reviewed our web site (http://www.aha.ru/~russarch), you send
us your request for a search for:
* a particular piece of historical or other information;
* material on a specific event, author, or artist or a particular
manuscript or document;
* a painting, sculpture, lithograph, icon or other work of art.
After we have processed your inquiry and have determined whether the
material you requested is available (which usually takes no more than 5-7
days) we let you know via e-mail. Then you specify what you would like and
in what form you wish to receive it. Material can be sent in a format
conducive to being sent via e-mail, or alternatively via regular mail or
DHL.
Once you have paid our fee, we immediately begin work on fulfilling your
request.
Once again, The Russian Archive has permanent access to all major
historical, literary and artistic archival collections in Russia. (We
particularly enjoy processing requests for rare, hard-to-find information
and materials).
Most inquiries processed within 5-7 days of receipt.

Email-address: jnower@mail.sdsu.edu
I am trying to find the piano recordings of Maria
Novakovskaya, a classical pianist who concertized and recorded
in the late 1920's, the 1930's, and the early 1940's, before
she was murdered by the Nazis in her home at Rostov-on-Don.
Can you help me? Thank you very much. Joyce Nower

Subject: Confused in America....
I think you may be my last resort. I say this because together you two
have a unique perspective on the challenges of Russian/American
communication. Paricularly Cyrillic/English comm.
My education is in Liberal Arts; Government and Communication, I was a
debater in College [Western Kentucky University]. My problem is not the
"soft side" of communication, I am skilled in phrases, persuasion, and the
dynamics of human communication. My problem is technology based.
Enough prelude. I correspond by email with a friend in Simferopol,
Crimea. We have been aquainted for a while and on occaision I receive a
Cyrillic file. I have been to every link available trying to utilize text
converters and cannot get any relief. Do you know of a resource that will
allow a computer novice to convert K108 or any Cyrillic font to English? I
know that out of benevolance and in the spirit of opening communication
cannels most of these programs are offerd free of charge. Since I cannot
make them work they are, however, useless to me. I would gladly pay for a
user-friendly software package.
Any suggestions?
I will truly be grateful for any information. It is so frustrating, I
learn new things very easily and simply do not have a mentor or guide to
help me with these computer solutions.
In your debt in Kentucky,
Gregory Butler

Subject: Vladisvostok
I am a Physician planning to go on another medical goodwill mission in
Vladisvostok in Summer 1999. A large group from my community just
returned. Next year, we will expand our efforts regarding sharing
professional information in our varying medical specialties as well as
introducing new equipment and medicines. We also are planning something
unique in that among us are members of a rock band called DNR. Very popular
in Northern California. We are planning on taking the entire band next
year and hope to put on a charity performance or two in a performance
venue in Vladisvostok. Most of our contacts are medical, but we do have
contacts in local govt.
Do you have any advice for us regarding producing a musical performance for
charity while we are there? This year, after hearing that Uriah Heap was a
great show in Vladisvostok a few years ago, we decided we need to add our
musical talents as well as our Medical talents... Let me know if you have
any advice or contacts....Jim Barnett, MD,

tel./fax: ++359 32 236 669
E-mail: helpch@plovdiv.techno-link.com
Dear Sir / Madam,
The foundation "Help for Our Children "was established on 08 July 1992,
in
airbase Cheshnegirovo , region of Plovdiv, Bulgaria ,Europe.
The foundation’s main objectives are - developing of charity for the
orphans
of dead aviators from Bulgarian Air Forces.
Our basic activities are aimed at humanitarian, cultural and
educational help supporting the main charitry mission.
The foundation is financed by monthly donations from the members,
voluntary donations of persons and organizations. At the moment the
voluntary donors are 515 people.
In the 1997 the foundation won the project "Institutional development
and technical equipment ", financed by the PHARE-Program through the
foundation
"Development of the civil society"-Sofia. The purpose of the project was
to expand the donation and humanitarian activity range. This resulted in
the foundation’s development on institutional and regional level. That
means establishing separate sections - around Plovdiv. We have the
desire to expand the activity by starting giving charity to the orphaned
soldiers in the airbases .
In order to provide you with accurate and up-to date information on our
foundation, we would be very grateful if you be so kind as to forward to
our attention application forms and any other necessary documents for
applying on your programs.
We would greatly appreciate all kinds of assistance that you can give us
- to help us establishing contacts with other foundations or
organizations, with similar activities in your country. We would like
to be professional in our venture so we would be thankful in case you
can send us more up-dated informational materials regarding NGO sectors
- magazines, brochures, leaflets, guidelines as well as specialized
literature regarding foundation managing.
We sincerely hope that together we could improve the status of children
orphans of dead aviators from Bulgarian Air Forces.
Yours Faithfully,
Krustio Skatchkov
