• Subscription to Palms' Portal To Russia -CIS - Eurasia is available at no charge. We hope you find these resources useful.
• To improve our service, we are switching our website to Alternate Access, which provides a better, more rapid serving of web pages than Eskimo. The Eskimo server becomes so burdoned at times that things work sometimes very slowly.

January 1996

Here is our first "What's New" and it is substantial. We tried our best to classify the information. However most links contain broader classifications of information than those under which we had to classify them. Do not let the heading we put it under dissuade you from checking it out. Most of them lead to other interesting sits as well. For some files you will need KOI8 fonts to read the cyrillic. In most cases the option to read an English text is provided. Please let us know what you think.

We are really pleased with the work MetaSyn is doing.
