Friends and partners,

Hello!  This is Tom, the American who, with his wife Isabel, went to Tobolsk,
Siberia, in December to adopt a 10-month-old boy. That was my first time in
cold weather as I live in sunny Tampa, Florida. Of course, 'sunny' means hot
in the summertime, but our winters are beautiful. I have never seen the
northern United States in the cold months.

I'd like to hear from you. I'm interested specifically in Moscow, Tyumen, and
Tobolsk, since they are the cities I visited on my trip. But I would love to
hear from anyone who lives in or has traveled to Russia. My favorite topics
are literature, and issues in race, gender and class.

My vacation this year will be a small.  Last year, my wife and I went to
Boston, Maine, and Cape Cod in that order. Great, but we are still recovering
financially from our trip to Russia. Isabel, Damir and I will go near Fort
Myers, Florida, to Captiva Island and the beach known for its sea shells.

Regards,
Tom

Subject: Greeks living in Russia



For many years I have been researching this subject and have not had any
success.my interest in the Greek Diaspora is world wide and information
from Russia  and other former members of the CCCP is very difficult to
find.
During the last 100 years many Greeks went to Russia and settled in
small Greek communities primarily around the Black Sea.and in the cities
of the CCCP
I would like to have correspondence with anyone who can help me find out
what happened to these people ??
thank you

Kostas Christie
