Winter School program. Internships may take place at a wide range of
local offices, including mass media outlets, local branches of political
parties, research institutes, and private companies. If the student
wishes, he or she may combine an internship with academic coursework as
time permits.
The cultural aspect of the program includes weekend tours within Tver to
local artists' workshops, area monasteries, churches and museums, and

His wife is physically unable to adequately meet his needs. Do any of
you know of anyone in SPb who might be willing to help with this? (They
live in the northern part of the city (prospekt Prosveshcheniia). We

Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. He is

Langauge Calendars is a company that produces tranlsation calendars in
many languages; we have added Russian to our list this year, and we are
looking for ways to communicate the availability of our product to those
interested in the Russian language. Any help or ideas you may have would
be very much appreciated.

I just started representing a long distance company with extremely cheap long
distance rates to Russia (Russia 43 per min, Ukraine 49, Belarus 47 etc).
I want to offer this to people wh call Russia a lot. The company pays a
commission to anyone who gets the customers.
Any ideas??
