Hello,

I am a 23 yr old from Green Bay Wisconsin, i plan on continuing studies in 
history with emphasis on Russian history. My main interest right now is 
finding out about Russian wedding customs for my own wedding next year. i 
would like to include some small Russian traditions into my ceremony, but 
I would like to learn more before I say I will. Any information about 
Russian orthodox wedding ceremonies would be greatly appreciated. 

I would also welcome a penpal that has as much of a passion for Russia and 
its rich history as I do.

Subject: Women's Day

Hi:

I was grateful to find your information about International Women's Day in 
Russia. Obviously many North Americans have no idea of this whatsoever. 

I'm equally curious to learn about some similar men's day, which, I 
understand, is in February. But that's all I know. What is the date, and 
just what the heck is it?

Judging by the small amount of information available, I'm at least happy 
that its significance appears not to overshadow that of Women's Day! 

I'd be very grateful to know the date and a simple sentence describing 
this men's day -- if you know.

Many, many thanks.

Operational Director

The Center for Humanitarian Aid is a registered Moscow charity. It 
operates a daily feeding program for the city's homeless and publishes a 
monthly Russian-language "street" newspaper, Yest' Vykhod, designed to 
empower and employ the poor. 

Started three years ago by a group of unpaid Western and Russian 
volunteers, the Center now has 11 employees and dozens of volunteers. We 
have an urgent need for a creative, compassionate and capable Director to 
lead the Center through the challenge posed by the current crisis.

Aside from managing the daily operations of the Center, the Director will 
be responsible for fundraising, relations with city authorities and the 
public, as well as working closely with the Center's board of directors.

Applicants must have at least 2 years' broad-based management experience - 
including financial management - and be fluent in English and Russian. The 
Director's salary will be commensurate with experience. Start date is as 
soon as possible. Applications are accepted until March 15.

I have replied to her separately but as I have now seen Nadya's message 
about wanting to correspond with English speakers, I thought this 
information might be useful to others too. Joshua Davis has a page 
especially devoted to penpals in Russian and English - 
http://www.angelfire.com/ut/JoshuaDavis/penpals.html. One can put oneself 
on the list [preferably, in my opinion, filling in all details about 
oneself -- which some people do not do] and/or one can e-mail anyone on 
the list that sounds interesting to you.
It really does work and has been growing recently. The more people take 
part the better it will be.

Subject: Starr Fellowships


From: craig zelizer  (czelizer@osf1.gmu.edu) 

Starr Fellows Program for Mid-Career Professionals 

The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs 
will be awarding fellowships to allow a small number of mid-career 
professionals from Eastern Europe, Russia, the former Soviet Republics, 
South Asia, Latin America and Africa to pursue the Master of International 
Policy and Practice program during the 1999-2000 academic year. The 
fellowships, made possible by a generous grant from the Starr Foundation,
will range from half- to full-tuition awards. Recipients must be able to 
cover their own living and travel expenses. 

Criteria for Admission

Candidates must have a B.A. plus either eight years of professional work 
experience or an advanced degree to be eligible for the fellowship. GREs 
are recommended but not required. A TOEFL score of 600 is usually required 
for admission. The competition for both the fellowships and admission to 
the M.I.P.P. program is extremely competitive.

The M.I.P.P.

The M.I.P.P. is an intensive, one-year degree program for mid-career 
professionals. It prepares international affairs professionals to 
understand complex global trends, make informed decisions about their 
organizations' future, analyze and forecast international events, and 
think and plan strategically in a global environment. M.I.P.P. candidates 
take three core courses: one in international politics, one in 
international economics, and one exclusive seminar that engages 
participants in discussions with prominent guest speakers from 
international business, the policy community, the international media, and 
the nonprofit sector. Remaining coursework is tailored to participants' 
individual needs. M.I.P.P. candidates can concentrate on a wide range of 
related subjects including international business, economics, politics, 
development, security policy, or science and technology policy. M.I.P.P. 
candidates may also choose to study the dynamics of a particular region, 
such as Latin America or Asia, or the international aspects of U.S. policy.

The Elliott School of International Affairs 

The Elliott School is The George Washington University's professional 
school of international affairs. Located in the heart of the nation's 
capital, the School trains exceptional men and women in the theory and 
practice of international affairs. It is home to a widely respected 
faculty and three research centers, which provide in-depth analysis of an 
extensive range of international economic, scientific, and political 
issues.

Application

Applications for the Starr Fellows program are due by May 15, 1999. For

Subject: Postgraduate medical education and medical Computer Based Testing

Dear FRIENDS & PARTNERS

This letter is a request for assistance as well as for possible 
collaboration.
1) The Assistance:
I'm a physician from Novosibirsk, Russian Federation, ECFMG/USMLE 
Certified (currently I hold a valid ECFMG Certificate) and ready to start 
medical residency immediately. I'm looking for an American partner, which 
is interested to hire such resident as a part of partnership program 
between American and Russian Health Care Institutions (Hospitals or 
Medical Schools) with possible implementation of available grants or on 
regular basis. Recently announced by AIHA and USAID ("The American 
International Health Alliance (AIHA) and the United States Agency for 
International Development (USAID) Announce a Grants Competition. NIS 
Health Partnerships Program. Date Issued: February 19, 1999. Closing Date 
and Time: April 6, 1999, 12:00 Noon (EST)") opens very promising 
prospectives for collaboration of this kind. Please, visit the AIHA Home 
Page for more additional information - http://www.aiha.com/
As a part of this partnership program I would dedicate my energy and 
knowledge to enhance medical exchange between Russia (possibly NIS) and 
USA for other young medical professionals. 2) The Collaboration:
After undergoing the examinations in the USMLE formats, successfully 
passing Steps 1 & 2; ECFMG English Test; CSA Study, and TOEFL I have 
realized the immense improvement of my medical knowledge. It would be a 
great benefit to Russia's Health Care system to adopt many of extremely 
useful parts of mentioned above examinations. Especially now, when most of 
them are becoming computer based (CBT, CCS). There are positive results in 
this area in Ukraine, less - in Russia. I do want to find a partner, which 
will be able to assist in financial or technical aspects as well as 
possible joint research on this matter. 

Please, feel free to forward this message to any person or organization, 
which could be interested in these subjects. I will appreciate any 
information greatly and will be glad to answer on your questions, 
preferably by electronic means. Thank you for your attention.
Best regards.
