(The text below has been published also in Canadian "National Post"
last Saturday. V. B.)
My computer has packed up completely. He was dying slowly for
the last couple of weeks, and I had to witness his agony, wringing
my hands. First, he refused to go on the Internet, than he refused
to deliver E-mail, later he stopped sending faxes. And each time
he would come up with different excuses, one more ridiculous than
the other. For example, he could suddenly and sternly warn me:
"You have performed an illegal operation! Your program will be
terminated". And I would feel deeply offended: "What did you say?",
I would scream, "Say it again, bastard, and I will smash your interface!"
No one, not even the KGB would ever dare to tell me that I performed
anything illegal. Then, perhaps being scared by my threats, he would
calmly inform me: "Error 723". No further comments. Go and guess what
does it mean. Where the hell is that list of errors he must be referring
to? And I would launch a wild goose chase of any file with the name
"error" or "list", "errorlist", "listerror", etc. All in vain.
This, however, was only a beginning. Next came a stage when he
would behave as if he suffered from multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's
disease. "Can not find MAPI32.DU.23 file!" - he would whimper, as if
it was all my fault. "Can not run this command. ODI/NDISA Mapper
Version 2.0 could not be found". This made me angry. "Is this my problem?
I didn't lose no MAPI, why telling this to me? You have
lost it, you go and find it" Nevertheless, being soft-hearted
the way I am, I would search the directories and find the damned
MAPI, sitting exactly where it should and bothering no one in particular.
So, if I could find this bloody MAPI, why can't he? Is he blind? Do they
dislike each other? God is my witness, I have tried everything to
attract his attention to the poor MAPI. I tried to introduce them
through a special dating agency (a command called "associate").
They did not want to. I even brought them together in an empty dark
directory, and left them there alone overnight, hoping they might
get acquainted. Or, with a bit of luck, even might fall in love.
(By that stage, all moral considerations were already very far
from my mind). But next morning, like a feckless lover, he would
tell me again he knows no MAPI. Never even heard of him (her).
What else could I do? Invite a priest and get them married?
Only much later did I learn that it all could have been due
to the plots of perfidious and cunning AWSNTO32.EXE, who was sitting
and sulking all the time in a far corner of a totally different
directory. By that stage I was doing what all of us, victims
of the computer industry, are forced to do: I was calling my friends
all over the globe hoping that a friend of a friend of a friend might
turn out to be a good computer expert. Pretty much like we do when
a close friend gets seriously ill, and in both cases it suddenly
transpires that there are no really good doctors on our planet.
Each and every gave me totally different advice - Australians wanted
me to kick it, Americans suggested I should buy a new one and the
Germans firmly believed in reading as many books on the subject
as could be found in a book store. Suspicions about the awesome
AWSNTO32.EXE conspiracy came from Moscow where people tend to
believe in plots. So do I. Only I tend to blame the computer
industry and the psychological game they play with us.
What is a computer, after all?
Overglorified domestic appliance, a consumer product which should
be as easy to handle as a vacuum cleaner. You buy it, you bring it
home, you switch it on and work. Just imagine an ordinary family,
who bought a refrigerator and then for several weeks tries
to figure out how to use it, reads numerous instructions
(written as a rule by a Martian with no proper knowledge of
earthly languages), seeks advice from friends
overseas, buys more books (also written in some rare dialect of
Swahili), and still cannot make heads or tails out of it.
Naturally in such case, the refrigerator manufacturers very quickly
would have been ruined by law suits, overwhelmed by
complaints and closed down by some trade standards commission or
other. And quite rightly so. If you market your product for mass
consumption, you should make it simple enough for an ordinary
consumer to operate. The truth is, however, that the
computer industry, in order to maximise their profits, markets
today a semi-product which even the best professionals find hard to use.
But we don't complain, oh no! We are caught in some sort of
psychological game, in which your ability to cope with this
space age technology is perceived as some sort of an IQ test.
Naturally, no one wants to admit a failure. No one wants to be looked
upon as a hillbilly.
Meanwhile, the drama was rapidly approaching its culmination.
On Sunday morning, (why, oh why the worst crisis of our life always
happens during a weekend?), I switched on, unsuspecting as a child,
and got a stunning, desperate plea:
"Invalid VxD dynamic link called from NTKERN(OB)+000000AC to device
"VMM", service 199". And the wretched machine switched off completely.
I stared into the darkness of the screen, like an astronaut who has
just lost contact with Earth forever. What should I do now?
Quietly bury him in the garden? But what if a last
spark of life is still flickering somewhere in his chips?
I did not sleep that night. Lost in recollections of better
moments in our relations, holding him by the cold, lifeless mouse,
pleading with him to come around, I must have grieved more than one
usually does over the death of one's child. And, of course,
an acute sense of guilt haunted me till dawn.
"What did I do wrong? It must be my impatience, my anger, my
insensitivity which killed him".
First thing in the morning, I wrapped him in a blanket (lest he
catches cold in the damp English weather), carefully brought him into
a taxi and dashed to the shop where I bought him only a month ago.
"He must have died of progressive paralysis like comrade Lenin", I said
to an engineer.
He looked at me with a warm smile. "No, no, he isn't dead. Not yet",
he said.
"Really?" My joy knew no boundaries. "Is he in pain? Can you do
something?"
"Of course", he said, "This is what I am here for. By the way, did you
install recently the Internet Explorer 4.01 by any chance?"
"I did. It was sent by our provider to everyone who had the previous
version".
"That's it, then. At least half of those who did have had a system
crash".
I went back home greatly relieved: after all, it was not my fault. I
did not inflict all that suffering on him and myself. But what about
that damned, bloody, flipping Microsoft? Will anyone ever punish
them bastards properly? And for the first time I felt sympathy with
Clinton administration: I really wished they send a cruise missile
or two to the Microsoft's headquarters. Or, at the very least, shoved the
whole box of large cigars up their back door. Have a good New Year!

"Radio Free Europe" RFE/RL Newsline; 13 January 1999
U.S. National Security Council Chairman Samuel Berger told a conference
in Washington, D.C. on 12 January that the administration will impose
sanctions on a Russian university and two research institutes for
assisting Iran with nuclear and missile technology.
Under the sanctions, the Scientific Research and Design Institute of Power
Technology, the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology, and the Moscow
Aviation Institute will not be allowed to export or import goods to or
from the U.S. or receive U.S. government assistance. Last July, the
U.S. imposed sanctions on seven Russian research and manufacturing
enterprises for the same reason.
In his remarks, Berger acknowledged that Russian "weapons scientists
and institutions face increased financial pressure to sell their wares to
whomever is in the market" but that "the most effective shield against
proliferation from Russia is not U.S. penalties but a Russian export
control system that is designed to work and does." JAC
======================================================================
BTW, regarding the part: "Last July, the U.S. imposed
sanctions on seven Russian research and manufacturing
enterprises for the same reason.".
Does anybody know what are these seven
"research and manufacturing enterprises"?

Russian/Soviet badges/pins.
Was there anything published about those badges (znachki) that were
traded among Soviet children and adults? I am not referring to
military awards, hero of labor awards, etc. that had to be earned.
Are there any books about znachki? A periodical for collectors?
Are there any directories, encyclopedias, buyers guides, catalogs,
etc. with listings of them? Articles about them? An organization
that relates to them?
Any information about this would be very much appreciated.
My hobby is collecting znachki and I have 3000+ of them, but I
don't have much in the way of reference material about them.
Sincerely, Bob

Could anyone please tell me where I can find information on employment
opportunities for the Russians from Russia in England or Holland? I wonder
how professionals, such as academics or businessmen, find information and
actually arrange arrival to these countries.

Hi,
I'm looking for my friend artist from Moscow Tatiana Sorokina. I believe
right now she is having an exhibition in Washington, but I don't know in
which particular gallery. If somebody knows about the exhibition or how to
contact Tania, please call or send me an e-mail at lanyk@eops.com.
Thanks!

Dear Info-Russians:
If any of you can send me a quote, what the USSR criminal code says
about possession of guns. Sure I know, it was prohibited, but I need an
exact quote with a page No, etc., and preferably, when it was
introduced, (I would guess, in Stalin's times).
Thank you in advance.

Privet,
I am a 93 graduate of Moscow Medical Academy (1-iy Med.) and looking for a
residency position here in US. Both USMLE exams passed recently (scores are
80 and 79 respectively). I applied to several places via ERAS but it looks
like they don't like to deal with visa issues (F-2, currently).
Please, respond if you wish to share information on the programs that accept
people on visas, or nice people wishing to help a young doctor (e.g.
volunteer position for a beginning).
Location doesn't really matter. Chicago and vicinity will be fantastic.
I will be very grateful for any advice, too.
Looking forward to your reply.

hey everyone:
this is an article I found in Jewish Telegraph Agency website. I guess
times do not really change. Decide for yourself.
36 percent of Russian callers in favor of emigration of Jews
By Lev Krichevsky
MOSCOW, Jan. 21 (JTA) -- Many Russians
believe life here would be better if it were not for the Jews.
Some 36 percent of recent callers to a Moscow
radio station said Russia would benefit if all Jews
left for Israel.
The radio station said a record number of 3,100
people called to voice their opinion on the issue
Thursday during the daily show of the Moscow
Echo radio station.
The station posed the question about Jewish
emigration after Israeli Foreign Minister Ariel
Sharon, who visited Russia this week, urged Jews
from Russia and other former Soviet states to
immigrate to Israel.
Concern about Russian attitudes toward Jews has
prompted American Jewish activists to bring the
issue to top U.S. officials.
U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told
American Jewish officials on Thursday that she
would discuss the recent rise in Russian
anti-Semitism during a visit to Moscow that was
scheduled to start Sunday.
In addition to raising the issue with Russian Prime
Minister Yevgeny Primakov, she said she will
appeal directly to the Russian people to exercise
greater tolerance and oppose anti-Semitism.
Albright also told the group that while she is
planning discussions with opposition lawmakers,
she will not meet with Communist Party leader
Gennady Zyuganov because of his recent
anti-Semitic remarks.
Last fall, two other Russian legislators from the
Communist Party made a series of anti-Semitic
comments. Drawing international condemnation as
well as criticism from President Boris Yeltsin's
government, the Russian Parliament failed to
condemn those remarks.
At a meeting in Washington on Thursday, the
National Conference on Soviet Jewry and the
Anti-Defamation League presented Albright with a
paper on anti-Semitism detailing specific steps
Russian leaders should take to combat the
phenomenon. The ADL plans to conduct a poll on
anti-Semitic attitudes among Russians in the
coming weeks.
In Moscow, meanwhile, Sharon discussed the
Middle East peace process with Primakov.
Primakov told Sharon that Russia wanted to play
a more active role in the region.
Primakov, a longtime Middle East expert who is
known as an Arabist, said Russia strongly
supported the land-for-peace formula in the
Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement.
Sharon welcomed Russia's desire to revive its
influence in the region and said Moscow should
use its close ties with the Palestinians to prevent
the Palestinian Authority from taking unilateral
steps, such as declaring independence.
Sharon and his Russian hosts also discussed
bilateral relations, the rise of anti-Semitism in
Russia and security issues, including international
terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction in the Middle East.
In talks with Primakov and Foreign Minister Igor
Ivanov, Sharon touched on the sensitive issue of
Russian help for Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
Last week, the United States imposed sanctions
against three Russian scientific institutes, accusing
them of helping Tehran with dual-use technologies.
Last July, the U.S. imposed sanctions on seven
Russian research and manufacturing enterprises
for the same reason.
Russia categorically denied the accusations. Some
officials maintained that the sanctioned entities
could not have supplied sensitive technology to
Iran since such technology is not available to them.
Moscow says it is helping Iran to build a nuclear
plant but that the program has no military purpose
and does not violate any international
non-proliferation agreements.
Concerning the recent surge of anti-Semitic
incidents, Sharon said his hosts strongly
condemned anti-Semitism. He especially praised
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov for his ``firm
stand" on the matter.
Sharon said, however, that he did not believe
Russia was doing everything possible to curb
anti-Semitism.
``I told [Russian leaders] that it is not enough to
voice protest. Concrete acts should be performed.''

Hello!
My wife and I seriously consider relocation from Israel to Silicon
Valley. I'm computer professional so I do not expect any problem with
finding Job. My wife is a M.Sc. in Biology from Tel Aviv University
without any considerable work experience. I'm looking for any
information considering her work opportunities in Valley taking into
account a fact that the firm also has to sponsor her H-1 visa. Any
information is welcome.
Thank you in advance,

Dear friends,

Greetings!
I'm looking for Sasha Radzhabova who emigrated from Tashkent to Israel in
the early 90's. She studied to be an eye doctor in Tashkent. The last name
may've been changed if she got married. Please, e-mail me if you know
anything about her.
Thanks a lot.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia may start jamming Voice of America and
other foreign radio broadcasts if they fail to obtain
government licenses, officials said Monday. Mikhail Seslavinsky, the chief
of Russia's Federal Television and Radio Service, warned VOA, the British
Broadcasting Corp., Germany's Deutsche Welle and several other foreign
broadcasters that they have less than a month to apply for the licenses, the
ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Seslavinsky added that the threatened moves
shouldn't be seen as a return to the Soviet-style practice of jamming
foreign broadcasts.
``We have no complaints whatsoever against the form or contents of those
broadcasters' programs,'' he said. ``It would be wrong to interpret our
action as an attempt to drive them from the territory of Russia or its air.''
He called on all foreign broadcasters to follow the example of the
American Radio Liberty, which got a government license last summer.
The deadline for getting the license is Feb. 20, Seslavinsky said.

Institute for Economies in Transition (BOFIT), Timo Harell
IMF gave the top 1999 growth outlooks for Poland and
Hungary. Polish GDP is expected to rise 5.1% (compared
to 5.6% in 1998), while Hungarian GDP should still
increase 4.8% (5.2% in 1998). Although Czech Republic's
GDP shrank 1.5% in 1998, IMF sees a recovery bringing
GDP growth up to 1% next year.
IMF predicts sizeable economic contraction of Russian
economy in 1999. The most recent issue of the IMF's
World Economic Outlook forecasts that Russian GDP will
contract 8.3% in 1999. Already 1998 GDP is expected to
shrink 5.7%. IMF also sees a risk that Russian
economy could contract even further beyond the current
gloomy outlook if economic reforms are cancelled and
the imbalance in public finances is allowed to
deteriorate even further. Inflation is expected to
rise to 56% in 1999.
Contraction of Ukraine's economy should also accelerate.
IMF forecasts GDP will fall 3.5% in 1999, when contraction
was 1.7% in 1998. Annual inflation is seen rising to 38%.
Among the Baltics, IMF foresees fastest economic
growth in Latvia. 1999 GDP growth for Latvia should
be 5% (6% in 1998), Lithuania 4% (5.3%) and Estonia
3.6% (5.1%). Inflation should remain modest throughout
the Baltics. The Outlook lists the following inflation
rates for 1999: Latvia 4% (5% in 1998), Lithuania 5% (5%)
and Estonia 6% (11%).

Dear info-russ folks,
This is a "coordinator corner".
This posting is to announce the first (and not just on Internet!)
publication of "Soviet Archives" by Vladimir Bukovsky.
It is a huge collection of documents directly copied from
archives of KPSS (former communist party of former Sov Union)
and KGB ("Komitet of Gosudarstevennoi Bezopasnosti")
Here is its URL:
http://psi.ece.jhu.edu/~kaplan/IRUSS/BUK/GBARC/buk.html
or you can go to INFO-RUSS
http://psi.ece.jhu.edu/~kaplan/IRUSS
and click at
"Bukovsky's "Soviet Archives" (KGB & KPSS) at INFO-RUSS"
A sampling of these documents and related political essay will
be published by V. Bukovsky in English in 1999 in a book "Judgement
Day" or "Reckoning with Moscow", political essay based on his
visit to Russia in 1992. During that visit he was invited by the
authorities to testify at the trial conducted by the Supreme
Court of Russia and intended to determine whether KPSS has been
a criminal institution, and the legality of the KPSS in new Russia.
To prepare for this testimony, Bukovsky requested and was granted
access to large number of documents prepared by the offices of
former Central Committee of KPSS and by KGB.
In a short time given him for browsing through the documents, he
managed to secretly scan a great deal of documents from that
collection, using a hand-held tiny scanner (one of those used for
the scanning of a single newspaper column).
After he brought back many-many floppy disks with files, each left
half-page file should have beed "stitched" with its right twin.
In this new publication on info-russ web-pages,
ALL these copies are published for the first time.
The tantalizing job of matching half-page pieces together, systematic
arrangement of all the copies and their catalogization, and uploading
the resulting files and directories from the personal computer to
INFO-RUSS server, is a collective work of three people - V. Bukovsky,
L. Chernikhov and Julia Zaks, and took them about two years. My own
little help was locating the space for the archive and providing
computer support (and daily moral encouragement, of course:-):-).
The initiative of starting this endeavor (of which she most likely
regretted many times:-) belonged to Julia Zaks, a "veteran" emigre,
whose dissident activity track in Moscow goes back 30+ years.
L. Chernikhov who joined the work at a later stage, did a great job
on re-organizing the documents according to the subject and
cross-referencing it. They did it out of belief "that these "black"
pages of Soviet history should be in the public domain"...
The e-mail addresses of both of them are found on the archive pages.
The full archive space as of right now comes close to 200 Mb.
For those of you who know little about Vladimir Bukovsky, here is his
brief bio-sketch (mostly due to KGB sources:-), see section 7.1,
Dissidents, documents #0053 and #0082-0086 in that archive).
June 1963 - ct.70-1, organizing "poetry" meetings next
to the Mayakovsky monument in Moscow;
sent to psychiatric ward (instead of prison), freed in February 1964
January 1965 - arrested for organizing a demonstration in defense of
Ginzburg, Glanskov and others ( 190-1, 3 years of imprisonment),
was freed in January 1970
January 1972 - arrested for contacts with foreign correspondents,
distribution of samizdat documents on psychiatric violations,
human rights, etc. (70-1, 7 years of imprisonment plus 5 years in exile)
December 1976, while in prison, Bukovsky was exchanged for Chilean
communist Lois Karvalan. (A little street joke at the time:
"obmenyali huligana na Luisa Karvalana":-)
Since 1976, he lives in Cambridge, England.
Bukovsky is the author of a few books:
"Soul of Man Under Socialism" 1979
"To Build a Castle-My Life As a Dissenter" 1979
"Soviet Hypocrisy and Western Gullibility" 1987
"Judgement Day" (Amer) or "Reckoning with Moscow" (England)
and political essay based on analyses of the
"Soviet Archives" (posted now on INFO-RUSS)
It was first published in Russian & French .
in 1996 as "Moscow Process" and will be available in 1999
in English as "Judgement Day" (US) or
"Reckoning with Moscow" (England)
The archive is intended for a very broad audience.
It is for you folks. Come in and look at the "pretty commy-face"
without mascara, of the system under which you've been living...
It is for former "dissies" (dissidents...); smell that stale
odor of the machinery that tried to mill you down...
It is for academia people: historians, sovetologists, etc.
Never too late to learn what was in reality behind the door
that used to be convincingly painted by your logical theories...
It is for Russia and the world to remember and to learn.
Everybody seems to be so sure this will never happened again;
will it not?

=========================================================================
A message from V. Bukovsky, Julia Zaks, and L. Chernikhov,
publishers of "Bukovsky's "Soviet Archives" at INFO-RUSS"
To all the users:
Feel free to use and copy the archive and/or any portion of it,
as long as you acknowledge the source ("Bukovsky's "Soviet Archives"
at INFO-RUSS").
Those of you, in particular academia & research people and libraries,
who instead of copying the archive from the Internet, would like to
have a CD with the full copy of it, may want to know that we
have donated the rights for distribution of the full CD copy of
the archive (about 200 Mb) to the "Gratitude Fund" (GF).
GF is intended to help ex-dissidents currently living in
Russia. Hundreds of former political prisoners and dissidents,
those who contributed greatly to the collapse of the communist
rule and promoted democracy in Russia. are unjustly forgotten.
Many of them are poverty-stricken in the economic chaos of the
post-communist Russia. GF was created to provide assistance to them.
So, if you would like to request a CD copy of "Soviet Archives"
please contact Yuri Fedorov, GF president (Yuri@eclipse.net).
Best regards,
V. Bukovsky

==========================================================
Dear friends!
"The Gratitude Fund (or GF)"
was created in summer 1998.
Its board of directors consists of
former dissidents scattered around the world:
Yuri Fedorov, president (NYC, USA)
Vladimir Bukovsky (England)
Alexandr Ginsburg (France)
Eduard Kuznetsov (Israel)
Yuri Yarim-Agaev (USA)
As you may know, many former political prisoners
and dissidents who contributed greatly to the collapse of
communist rule and paved the way to democracy in Russia,
have now been unjustly forgotten.
Their poverty-stricken existence in the economic chaos
of the post-communist Russia is a sad reminder to
those of us who were direct or indirect
beneficiaries of their struggle and sacrifices.
The general propose of the GF as an organization
is to provide assistance to the veterans of the
struggle for freedom and human rights in the
former Soviet Union.
The board of the GF directors would like to
let you know that it has now its own website
(thanks to Alex Kaplan, INFO-RUSS coordinator):
http://psi.ece.jhu.edu/~kaplan/IRUSS/BUK/GBARC/gf/gfund-main.html
At the present time the website contains
just general information but we hope in time
to be able to place information about GF's work and
special events, and
about individual veterans of human rights movement.
Any questions, suggestion related to the GFund
or its website will be appreciated.
Please contact: the Gratitude Fund president:
Yuri Fedorov (e-mail: Yuri@eclipse.net ), (212) 866-5635

Dear friends,
I am in search of an old friend (from 1987) who at the time was living
in Leningrad. If anyone has any information about a journalist by the
name of Anatoly N. Anisko, born in Minsk, working in Leningrad in a COOP
until at least 1989, most likely living outside the ex-USSR by now,
studying English or working, please contact me. I lost contact with him
in 1989 and have been searching for the past few years. Any help would
be appreciated.
Thank you!!
Kathy (Katya) Gundersen

Is your computer female?
As you are aware, ships have long been characterised as being female (e.g.,
"Steady as she goes", or "She's listing to starboard,Captain!").
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that
computers should also be referred to as being female.
Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow:
No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you
don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you".
Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later
retrieval.
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find your- self spending half
your salary on accessories for it.

Hello,
I'm from Moscow, but now live in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Can't say that I like both places much.
Could anybody kindly advise if there are colleges
in Australia offering BS in computer technology.
(Perth would be ideal)
I've heard that cost of education is bearable and
students can work part time.
Is it true. Any advise would be much appreciated.
Please help...
Also, I self study JAVA, if anybody could
advise on interesting resources.
Or if you know or study it, let's chat about JAVA.
Thanks

Reuters, Monday February 22 8:09 AM ET
Israeli Minister Sees His KGB File In Russia
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Israeli Trade and Industry Minister Natan Sharansky, who
was for years a prisoner of the KGB, met the head of Russia's main successor
to the Soviet secret police Monday and got a look at his own file.
The Israeli embassy said in a statement that Vladimir Putin, head of the
Federal Security Service (FSB), had allowed Sharansky to view his KGB file
and take home copies of several documents.
Sharansky, a leading campaigner for Jewish emigration rights in the Soviet
Union in the 1970s, was charged with spying for the United States in 1977
and became one of Moscow's best known political prisoners.
He left Russia after being released in an East-West prisoner exchange in
1986 and was received as a hero in Israel. He returned to Moscow more than a
decade later as a member of the cabinet of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.
On his first trip back to Moscow in 1997, he visited the Lefortovo prison
where he had spent a year and a half in isolation. He described the jail as
``the most important university I studied at in my life.''
He has since traveled to Moscow several times.

But I also know that it is more easy
if you have a good computer skills.
So I'd like to hear any advice from you :
what computer programs and computer skills
should I learn to have better opportunity to
find this kind of work.
I have now enough time to
study the basics of these programs and skills.
Thank you in advance;
this information is very important for me.
Sorry for my inperfect English.
So Ill appreciate to hear your kind advices via E-mail:
andr@andr.kemerovo.su
Good wishes to everyone!
Yours,

Hello Info-russ subscribers,
Could you help me to find an inexpensive hotel or motel or inn or
private housing in Jerusalem, Israel? I'm going to visit Israel for a
week with my wife and 3 years old kid. What are regular prices over
there and where can I find something affordable for a Russian
scientist ;-0 ? Any advice or hint will be highly appreciated.
Could you also advice on the unexpensive way to fly
from Moscow to Israel and back?
BTW, what does the weather look like in Jerusalem around the
1st of April?
Best regards,
Grigori Sigalov.
PS. Of course, I am willing to share all the information
I'll be able to get, with anybody else who is interested
(via personal e-mail, and not via info-russ)

Dear friends,
I suspect that quite a few of us will attend the Centennial APS meeting in
Atlanta in the end of March. This meeting is going to be very big, 8-9K
people. Many of us will meet old friends there.
I think that it will be very helpful to coordinate the information about
the presence of Russian scientists at the meeting. Again, the people you
know may be there, but its hard to bump into each other in this huge
crowd.
So, I propose to post a sign-up sheet for Russian-speaking community on
one of the announcement boards where the attendees would sign there name
and, say, hotel where they are staying. This will make it easier to
contact each other and facilitate contacts or just hanging out together.
Also, this should be helpful for people coming from Russia and other
countries.
I'd post such a sign-up sheet myself, the only problem is that I'm coming
in late, on 22nd, while the Meeting starts on 20th. Would anybody
volunteer to post it?
What I can also do is collect the names of the people who
want to get together at the Meeting, by e-mail, and then pass
it on to the person who would volunter to be a coordinator
at the Meeting.
Thank you and see you in Atlanta.

Russian Jews Turning Edgy as the Country's Chaos Creates an Ugly Mood
--------------------------------------------------------
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
MOSCOW -- Like many of Russia's Jews, Anatoly Vugman
would like to stay in Russia. But since the
financial crisis hit last August, the 20-year-old
student has begun to hedge his bets by attending evening
Hebrew classes.
Vugman has plenty of company. With the economy
distressed and political extremists making anti-Semitic
tirades, enrollment in Hebrew classes here has tripled
in the last year.
Some students have already decided to move to Israel,
while others simply want to know the language of their
ancestors. Then there are Jews like Vugman, an earnest
young man with wire-rim glasses, who seem to be in a
quandary about their future.
The demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 opened a fresh
chapter for Russia's Jews. Synagogues and yeshivas
started up. The top echelons of government and finance
were opened to people of Jewish descent.
But Russia's Jews are now facing a collapsing economy as
well as the fresh burst of anti-Semitic statements.
For the first time in nearly a decade, emigration from
Russia to Israel is starting to climb. Though relatively
modest, the number of Jews leaving for Israel in
January, 1,774, was 70 percent higher than the 975 who
left in January of last year.
While many Jews want to remain in Russia, there is a
growing realization that they will have to fight the old
battles against anti-Semitism all over again.
The fears are more acute in Russia's provinces. Just
Monday, Jews in Novosibirsk reported that the lone
synagogue in that Siberian city had been vandalized and
swastiskas painted on the walls. But many Jews in Moscow
and in liberal St. Petersburg are also on edge.
"Of course, things were worse in Soviet times," said
Zinaida, 70, a retired woman who was waiting for a
meeting at Moscow's Choral Synagogue and declined to
give her last name. "But now anti-Semitism is again
threatening us and our children."
Russia has never been an easy place for Jews. Under the
czars there were restrictions on where Jews could live,
and violent pogroms.
During Soviet times Jews often filled the professional
ranks, but they were generally barred from leading
universities and from top jobs. Worship was suppressed.
Jews were identified as a separate nationality in
internal passports.
The collapse of the Soviet Union unleashed a virtual
tidal wave of emigration. So many Jews have intermarried
and assimilated that estimating how many remain in
Russia is an arcane science.
Mark Kupovetsky, a demographer at the Jewish studies
program at the Russian State University for the
Humanities in Moscow, says there is a "core" Jewish
population of 332,000. That figure is derived, in part,
from the number who described themselves as Jewish in
the last Soviet census.
The estimate increases severalfold if it includes those
with a Jewish parent or grandparent -- important because
Israel accepts immigrants who can show that at least one
grandparent is Jewish.
While Jews represent only a small fraction of the
country's 147 million people, their status has long been
taken as a measure of Russia's struggle to build a more
democratic and tolerant society. In recent years, in
fact, the situation for Jews has largely been considered
to be a Russian success story.
Jews have used their new freedoms to reclaim their
heritage. Moscow State University recently began a joint
program of Jewish studies with Hebrew University. To the
tune of "Hava Nagilah," ads for matzo appeared on
Russian television during Passover.
Nationalist politicians have also been free, however, to
exploit Russia's deep undercurrent of anti-Semitism,
which they have done more frequently since the financial
collapse last August.
"Russia has never known democracy, and democracy is a
very intricate thing to put so suddenly on the shoulders
of millions who are used to the tradition of a strong
hand," said Tankred Golenpolsky, the editor of the
Jewish Gazetta, a Moscow-based publication.
"In the old days they used to keep horses in the mines
and not take them out until they got old," he added.
"When they did they would have to cover their eyes or
they would go blind. Well, Russia is like a horse that
has been taken out without his eyes covered and is
running around and shouting whatever it wants."
Jews have certainly been a very visible target.
Much of the government team that has guided Russia's
painful transition to a market economy is of Jewish
ancestry, as are many of the country's bankers and
tycoons, though few are practicing Jews.
Sergei V. Kiriyenko, the former prime minister, who
adopted his mother's Ukrainian family name, is part
Jewish, as are the former Kremlin aides Boris Y. Nemtsov
and Anatoly B. Chubais. Yegor T. Gaidar, the former
prime minister who promoted a free market, also has some
Jewish ancestors.
But then Jews have also been on different sides of the
debate, a fact overlooked by Russian militant
nationalists. Grigory A. Yavlinksy, the head of the
Yabloko Party, who is part Jewish, has long assailed the
Yeltsin government for its halfhearted support of
economic reform. One of the most strident nationalists,
Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky, and Yevgeny M. Primakov, the
cautious prime minister, also have Jewish roots.
Neither Zhirinovsky nor Primakov has ever been assailed
by anti-Semites, which Jewish leaders say shows that the
recent wave of anti-Semitism is part of a broader
assault on the Western and pro-capitalist attitudes
epitomized by Russia's more liberal Jews.
Many Jews in fact believe that their acceptance in
Russian society will ultimately depend on the nation's
ability to develop a capitalist democracy with rising
living standards and Western-style legal protections.
"The future for Jews in Russia depends on the success of
economic reform," said Kupovetsky.
It is the virulent anti-Semitic tirades of extremists
like Albert Makashov, a Communist legislator and former
general, that have alarmed many Jews.
He recently gave a fiery address in the southern Russian
town of Novocherkassk in which he virtually invited
Cossacks to ramsack Jewish homes.
"They are so brave and cheeky because we are dormant so
far," he said.
Another self-proclaimed anti-Semite is Aleksandr
Barkashov, the leader of the neo-Fascist group, Russian
National Unity, whose emblem resembles a swastika. He
recently told a rally in Yekaterinburg that he was
changing the name of his political groups to "Movement
Against the Jews."
Viktor Ilyukhkin, chairman of the Parliament's defense
committee and a Communist, has charged that Yeltsin and
Jewish members of his "inner circle" are committing
"genocide" against the Russian people.
Public opinion polls indicate that these extremists do
not speak for most Russians. And many Russians Jews say
that their situation is not as bad as that of other
groups.
"The average Russian is more upset about the presence of
Caucasians in Moscow than about Jews," said Rashid
Kaplanov, the president of Sefer, a Moscow-based center
of Jewish studies, referring to the people from the
southern Caucasus mountains region. "Still, one does
feel vulnerable."
The main worry for Russia's Jewish leaders is that the
barrage of from the extremists will begin to stir up
ordinary Russians, particularly in the provinces.
In Novosibirsk, where the report came Monday that the
synagogue had been vandalized over the weekend, a new
rabbi, Shnaior Zalman Zaklos, had arrived only 10 days
before. Miriam Zaklos, his wife, said in an telephone
interview Monday that prayer books were torn up, and
Torah religious scrolls were ripped. The name of the
neo-fascist group, Russian National Unity, was painted
on the walls.
Russian National Unity has also distributed virulently
anti-Semitic material in Borovichi, a town of 70,000
people 240 miles north of Moscow.
"At least in Moscow there's some regulation," Eduard
Alekseyev, the 29-year-old leader of the local Jewish
Association, said in a telephone interview. "Here
swastikas are legal. Its legal to say, 'Yids Get Out.' "
Jewish fears have been aggravated by the mixed response
from mainstream politicians. President Boris N. Yeltsin
has denounced anti-Semitism, and Mayor Yuri M. Luzhkov
of Moscow has banned marches by fascist groups.
But the Communist-led Parliament has refused to censure
Makashov. Gennady Zyuganov, the Communist leader, has
criticized Makashov for his "intemperance" but in an
appeal to national sentiment has also implied at times
that Russians of Jewish origin are overrepresented in
government and finance.
Or, as Zyuganov put it, "Too many people with
strange-sounding family names mingle in the internal
affairs of Russia."
Jews themselves are not always certain about how to
fight the problem. Vladimir A. Gusinsky, a news media
tycoon who is the leader of the Russian Jewish Congress,
has taken a head-on approach.
Gusinsky said in an interview that he had asked the
World Economic Forum not to invite Zyuganov to its
conference in Davos, Switzerland, because of his failure
to condemn the anti-Jewish remarks by Makashov.
Zyuganov, in fact, was not invited this year, though
organizers of the forum insist his statements regarding
Russian Jews were not the reason. Many Jews, however,
are uncomfortable with too confrontational a strategy.
"There is a dispute between generations," observed Rabbi
Pincus Goldschmidt of the Choral Synogogue. "The older
generation, which lived under Stalin and survived,
believes in bending. It thinks silence is more effective
than confrontation. But the young people are ready to
fight."
One prominent Jewish writer, Eduard Topol, stirred up a
stormy debate by publishing an open letter in a Russian
newspaper urging Jewish financiers to devote their
energies -- and their newly made millions -- to the
common good.
Topol wrote that such pre-emptive measures would defuse
anti-Semitic sentiment, but critics say his letter may
encourage the very sentiments he deplores.
Some Jews have strayed so far from their traditions,
however, that they are not above making anti-Semitic
slights themselves. When Nemtsov, the reform-minded
Kremlin aide, sought to combat the influence of Russia's
tycoons last year, the financier Boris Berezovsky
responded with an anti-Semitic jibe.
Berezovsky, a Jew who once held an Israeli passport but
who christened his infant son in the Russian Orthodox
faith, said Nemtsov would never be elected president
because his mother was Jewish.
Nemtsov, he sneered, has a "purely genetic problem."
At the after-school center on Vadkovsky Pereulok, in
central Moscow, the worries are palpable. On Sundays,
some 700 Russians attend Hebrew classes here and even on
weekdays several classrooms are full.
Alla Levy, the director of the Moscow office of the
Jewish Agency for Israel, which assists Jews in
emigrating, says that immigration to Israel could reach
20,000 in 1999, compared with fewer than 15,000 in 1998.
That is small compared with the massive wave of
emigration that came on the heels of the Soviet Union's
demise, but it is still a significant change.
Anti-Semitism is just one factor in decisions to
emigrate. Before the financial crisis, many young and
middle-aged professionals felt they had a better chance
of making good in Russia than they would if they started
over again in Israel.
But now many are worried about building a future for
their children. And unlike most of Russia's ethnic
groups, Jews have a homeland to which they can go.
Viktor Rechistyev, a 38-year-old entrepreneur who is
studying Hebrew, declared he had made up his mind to
leave.
"Russian history here has always been stormy,"
Rechistyev said. "We have had enough of this."
Vugman, a student at one of Moscow's most prestigious
management academies, disagreed.
"I am a Jew, and I want to know the language of my
parents," he said. "But I don't want to live in another
country. Anti-Semitism is not the state policy. There is
not complete anarchy in the country, and we are not
threatened by pogroms. None of that has happened."
That brought a sharp retort from Irma Yelasvili, a
28-year-old Jew who moved to Moscow from the former
Soviet Republic of Georgia five years ago, "When the
pogroms happen, it will be too late to leave. It will be
too late."
As the class resumed, Vugman seemed to be careworn and
tense.
"You know my wife is Russian and I am sure her parents
would not want her to emigrate to Israel," he added
softly. "But maybe in the future we will go to the
United States, Canada or Israel, after all."

A friend of ours in St.Petersburg, Russia is suffering from late stage
of abdominal cancer.
She is a young woman, single mother and the only breadwinner for a
family of three.
It's not much that we can do from here, but one thing that doctor
recommended is to provide her with a special nutrition for cancer
patients, called ENSURE. She cannot eat and her conditions are miserable
to say the least.
We bought ENSURE here, they have it in every supermarket, but an air
mail is incredibly expensive and slow.
We would like to ask if anybody in the US (especially Boston area) is
going to St.Petersburg in the near future and willing to bring with you
any amount of ENSURE. One pack is 4 pounds. We'll help you to pack it,
if you wish, and our friends will pick it up in Russia.
WE UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU, TRAVELERS, BUT PLEASE TRY TO MAKE
AN EFFORT AND HELP A PERSON IN A DESPERATE SITUATION.
We ask also if anybody knows for sure that this substance -- ENSURE - is
available in stores in Russia. We cannot get a definitive answer so far.

Dear fellows/ladies:
I am having sentimental yearnings over "baidarochnye" trips
and outings in the former USSR. After some time, I discovered
an exciting new world of whitewater kayaking in the US/Canada.
For those who are still unaware, a kayak is a "modern analog"
of a familiar "baidarka": it is much more sturdy, much more
responsive and nimble, much less heavy, etc.
However, I haven't found ANY secondary market (for used
kayaks), and very little information on kayak clubs: either
family-oriented or sporty/hot dog. I am particularly interested
in NJ/NY(PA) area, but would gladly collect/sift through and
disseminate your responses to the interested ones on any other
parts of the US.
Let me throw in some specific questions:
1) Do you know the contact numbers/web sites for the used
whitewater/recreational kayaks and gear (paddles, PFD, helmets, etc)?
2) Do you know of any clubs and/or discussion groups related
to the river trips?
Please respond/indicate your genuine interest directly to Dima:
pdkachin@gsbphd.uchicago.edu
Thanks!
