I have not been in Russia for almost five years. Something strongly changed for that time but something not. So, I will appreciate the help from anybody who knows the new reality. 1. Money. What works in Russia except cash? Can I use personal US checks, travel checks, credit and debit cards (including cash advances)? 2. I expect to interact with minor and senior officials, like DVORNIK, UBORCHITSA, KANTSELIARISTKA, etc. Five years ago a pack of Marlboro, audi or video tape, one dollar worth watch, etc. could serve as a perfect souvenirs to make friends with those kind of people. As well, that stuff worked fine as souvenirs for scientific colleagues. What stuff can be used for the same purpose now (for men and for women)? 3. I have a green card. To avoid unwanted questions of Russian board guards about emigration, I took the return ticket with the stop in Europe. Recently I got a warning from my relatives in Russia. They say that according to some rules, Russian citizens leaving the country by air MUST have the return ticket. Does anybody knows anything about this problem? Who and at what stage will ask me to show that return ticket? I would greatly appreciate any reply. Sincerely, Mikhail A. Noginov Mikhail A.

Today they are suggesting we vote for a living corpse,'' said a key Zyuganov backer, nationalist legislator Stanislav Govorukhin, who suggested the runoff be postponed until Yeltsin felt better. In a two-minute speech from behind a wooden desk, Yeltsin looked like a shadow of the man who threw off his jacket and energetically danced the twist at a rock concert a few weeks ago during his re-election campaign. Although he spoke clearly, the 65-year-old president looked stiff and there was not a trace of emotion in his voice as he read from a television monitor. ``I know exactly what to do, I have the strength, will and decisiveness for that. What is needed now is your support,'' he said. The official explanation for his four-day absence from public view, and the cancellation of several meetings, had been a sore throat brought on by months of grueling campaigning. But Yeltsin's voice did not sound husky and officials changed their line Monday, saying he had been suffering from a cold. Even if Yeltsin has recovered completely, doubters may consider the secrecy and confusion over his absence since last Wednesday a symptom of some more serious ailment. During that time, his aides' vague explanations and their past record of hiding the full truth about the president's health did little to inspire confidence. The mostly pro-Yeltsin Russian media have paid scant attention to the health scare, only fueling speculation of a coverup reminiscent of the 1970s and early 1980s when Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko -- all invalids -- occupied the Kremlin ``We haven't seen Mr. Yeltsin for four days,'' Zyuganov told a news conference before the televised speech. ``I want to see the official conclusion on the state of health of Mr Yeltsin...I would like to know the real situation. Why have they cancelled all of his meetings?'' The Kremlin presented its handling of the health scare as completely open, summoning reporters for a briefing Friday to tell them that Yeltsin had nothing worse than a sore throat. They may have been telling the complete truth. But their problem is that in the past they have proved less than frank. When Yeltsin suffered heart problems a year ago, the Kremlin issued a photograph of him which purported to show him at work in a hospital. But the picture so strongly resembled one taken months earlier that it was widely dismissed as a fake. When the Kremlin press service claimed Yeltsin was issuing various decress over the weekend, without television showing any new pictures of him at work, it reeked of an effort to create a false impression that the president was well. Uneasiness only grew when the influential current affairs program Itogi, broadcast by the NTV commercial television channel, avoided focusing on the health issue Sunday. Itogi was critical of Yeltsin until NTV's head joined his campaign team. ``We have to assume that there is more to it than only a sore throat,'' a Western diplomat said. ``This may not influence the election but the big question is what will happen after the election?'' That is the question Zyuganov is trying to raise on the eve of the vote. The campaign has clearly drained Yeltsin and the latest health scare raises doubts about his ability to govern properly for a full four-year term. Sergei Filatov, a Yeltsin campaign aide, dismissed talk of Yeltsin dropping out of the election to allow Alexander Lebed, who was third in the first round election June 16, to step in under the election rules. Should the president prove unable to govern once he is in office, his prime minister should take over his duties temporarily until a new election is held. But political analysts have speculated that power could simply pass into the hands of Kremlin cronies with Yeltsin remaining as a figurehead, raising questions about who controls a huge country with a large nuclear arsenal. >From INFO-RUSS-request@smarty.ece.jhu.edu Tue Jul 2 00:03:24 EDT 1996 Errors-To: INFO-RUSS-request@smarty.ece.jhu.edu Sender: INFO-RUSS-request@smarty.ece.jhu.edu Precedence: bulk Date: Tue, 2 Jul 1996 04:03:06 GMT To: info-russ@smarty.ece.jhu.edu Subject: INFO-RUSS: Russian movies From: mifcollection@usa.pipeline.com (mikhail freydlin) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is INFO-RUSS broadcast (1200+ subscribers).

To: info-russ@smarty.ece.jhu.edu Date: Tue, 2 Jul 1996 17:29:43 -0400 (EDT) Can anyone who is reading Russian newspapers/watching TV or staying in contact woth people in Russia summarize it's coverage of elections here is a list of what I "heard" up to now, confirmations/denials/additions welcome: 1. pre-1-part: all candidates except Eltzyn were virtually ignored (AFAIU, Zyuganov has his own press - Sovetskaya Rossiya?, what about others?) 2. last-day Yavlinsky's TV time slot was taken by Eltzyn, still partly played later (Suhanov) 3. Lebed got extra coverage last 2 weeks before elections 4. currently: When Russia's Boris Yeltsin popped back into the public eye Monday after vanishing for days because of ill health, most of Russia barely noticed. The reason: Few knew he had disappeared in the first place. Thanks to national media that are unabashedly behind Mr. Yeltsin in his presidential race against Communist Gennady Zyuganov, most voters have yet to be informed of the sudden and mysterious sickness of their president, who has a history of heart trouble. "We've heard nothing about it," said Sergei Yusov, head of the electoral commission in the Rostov region 800 miles south of Moscow. Reached in the industrial city of Kovrov, about 160 miles northeast of Moscow, local Yeltsin campaign manager Vladimir Khabarov was also in the dark. "We didn't know about this through the press," he said. ... Yeltsin's rival, Mr. Zyuganov, said at a news conference Monday that a sick Mr. Yeltsin had no business claiming the presidency "when the country itself is on the verge of a heart attack." But, par for the course in modern-day Russia, Mr. Zyuganov's statement didn't make the nightly news. (Wall Street Jounral, July 2, front section) 5. the story of Lebed on Mormons and Jews & Kazaks made New York Times and was officially protested by US government, but seems to be unknown in Moscow (private communications) p.s. Here is from July 2 monitor: - Russian constitution on electing disabled bodies and - who knows what Lebed says: CONSTITUTION VAGUE ON TRANSFER OF POWER. What would happen if Boris Yeltsin were to become seriously ill today? If he was unable to take part in the runoff against Gennady Zyuganov, the election would be postponed and Yeltsin's place would be taken by Aleksandr Lebed as the candidate who placed third in the first round. But things would become more complicated if Yeltsin was to be elected tomorrow, and only then became too sick to assume office. The constitution states that, if an incumbent president is unable to execute his duties, the prime minister temporarily takes his place and organizes fresh presidential elections within three months. However, a newly elected president must be sworn in within 30 days of the publication of the official election results. (In the case of the current runoff, officials have been saying that August 6 is the most likely date for the inauguration.) The constitution does not say what happens if a president-elect becomes incapacitated before he is sworn in. Even more complicated, the constitution requires the prime minister to tender his resignation to the new president, but does not say who takes over the reins if the president becomes incapacitated before he has named a new prime minister and had him approved by parliament. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin would doubtless argue that the prime minister's duty to act as caretaker of the nation outweighed his obligation to resign, but he would be on uncertain ground and might well be challenged by Aleksandr Lebed, who in recent days has claimed broad responsibilities for national security that so far have no legal basis. A stand-off between premier and national security czar would likely be won by the man who commanded the loyalty of the armed forces. Lebed might well consider that he was that man and that conviction could prompt him to make the bid for supreme power. Much criticized as Yeltsin's democratic record has been, he has generally been credited with having tried to introduce some degree of order into the Kremlin's traditionally murky way of transferring power. The present frailty of Yeltsin's health underlines the frailty of the Russia's fledgling democratic institutions and reveals how close to the surface the skeletons of Kremlin dictators lie. AUTHORSHIP OF NATIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENT DEBATED. A controversy between Russia's two leading news agencies has developed over differing claims as to the authorship of a draft Russian national security concept paper published June 26 by Interfax and attributed to Security Council secretary Aleksandr Lebed. (See Monitor, June 27) A day later, the competing Itar-Tass news agency published what it claimed was a denial by Lebed that he had been involved in drafting the notably hard-line document. According to Itar-Tass, Lebed suggested that the document, entitled "A New Approach to National Security Problems," had actually been prepared prior to his entry into the Russian government. But on June 28 Interfax fired back, claiming that it had received confirmation from Lebed's press service that the document was indeed produced by a group working under Lebed. It also claimed to have received word from Lebed himself that the document reflected his views. The press service, meanwhile, did make the point that the published document was only a draft, but it suggested that the final version of the concept was expected to vary from it in only minor ways. Finally, sources described as close to Lebed reportedly told Interfax that the remarks run by Itar-Tass as Lebed's own had in fact not come from the retired general.

Vprochem, vozmozhno, tak otmechali Den' Nezavisimosti SShA... Eta detal' - dostojnoe zavershenie "obrazcovo demokraticheskoj" izbiratel'noj kampanii. Vchera ja shel na svoj izbiratel'nyj uchastok mimo mnogix desjatkov plakatov, prizyvajuschix golosovat' za El'cina (chasche - protiv Zjuganova) - xotja agitacija v den' vyborov i dazhe nakanune zapreschena (pochti vse oni naxodilis' za steklami vitrin magazinov i drugix municipal'nyx uchrezhdenij). Vprochem, ogromnye (do 6 na 4 metra) parnye portrety El'cina i Luzhkova s tekstom "Moskvichi svoj vybor sdelali" tozhe viseli na svoix mestax. Nado skazat', chto na vsex predyduschix vyborax vlasti dovol'no schepetil'no sobljudali takie - formal'nye - polozhenija zakona o vyborax. Pochemu eto ne bylo sdelano vchera - ne znaju. Mozhet byt', eto deklaracija o namerenijax. Po krajnej mere chastota upotreblenija slova "okonchatel'no" (Chubajs do vyborov govoril "poslednij gvozd' v grob kommunizma", Chernomyrdin segodnja - "my okonchatel'no reshili etu problemu") ne pozvoljaet legko otbrosit' takie podozrenija. Mezhdu tem v stane pobeditelej nemedlenno nachalis' "razborki". Lebed' v krajne rezkoj forme ("politicheskoe predstavitel'stvo paraziticheskoj gruppy neftegazovogo kapitala") napal na Chernomyrdina i potreboval vvedenija posta vice-prezidenta. Vmeste so slovami "ja budu prezidentom esche do 2000 goda" eto zvuchit dovol'no ugrozhajusche. Delo v tom, chto "v etom Mavzolee net svobodnyx mest" - xotja posta vice-prezidenta net, no chelovek takoj est'.

Chernomyrdin poka otrazhaet eti ataki, ukazyvaja na ochevidnoe: pod nimi net nikakoj legal'noj bazy - i, bez novogo putcha, ne mozhet byt'. Vprochem, Lebed' sovsem nedavno skazal: "Sud'ba strany zavisit ot togo, kuda oplevannyj vsemi komandir tankovogo polka povernet svoi 125-millimetrovye argumenty". Ja uzhe pisal kak-to, chto kommunisty-zjuganovcy sami vosprinimajut neobxodimost' zavoevyvat' nostal'girujuschij po SSSR elektorat psevdolevymi lozungami kak obuzu. Sovetnik Zjuganova govoril mne, chto istinnaja baza kommunistov - eto chinovnichij apparat s ego gosudarstvennicheskimi instinktami, dlja kotorogo vpolne izlishnja razlagajuschajasja "marksistsko-leninskaja" ritorika.

Vazhno, chto v etu vtoruju, obizhennuju chast' vxodjat kak raz samye privilegirovannye ljudi SSSR - oficery specsluzhb i armii, rukovoditeli VPK... Nikuda ne delos' i stremlenie otstajuschix k revanshu. Eta "partija" nashla v Lebede krajne aktivnogo i rezkogo (ne sravnit' s Korzhakovym!) predstavitelja v Kremle. Vsego za neskol'ko dnej - serija skandal'nyx napadok na "zapadnyx xristian" (s zavualirovannoj ugrozoj evrejam), na importerov prodovol'stvija i eksporterov syr'ja, nakonec, obeschanija uzhestochit' vizovyj i pasportnyj rezhim (bezuslovno, ne obitateljam Kremlja, a nam pridetsja rasxlebyvat' otvetnye repressii so storony sosedej) i zhestche opredelit' ponjatie "grazhdanin nedruzhestvennoj strany". Vse eti ugrozy prizvany, prezhde vsego, diskreditirovat' "prozapadnyx" protivnikov "partii otstajuschix". Stoit zametit', chto vse eti mery razrabatyvalis' i v intellektual'nom shtabe KPRF.

Here the best kept secret for the whole world to see now at "Time" magazine: Although there were many avenues for Yeltsyn to turn the tables on commies, a crucial one has remained a secret. For four months a group American political consultants secretly participated in guiding his campaign. Their names are Steven Moore, George Gorton, Joe Shumate, Richard Dresner. As a group, they have strong connections to both the Democrats (including circles close to Mr. Clinton) and Republicans. However, a real driving force behind the entire event was our fellow emigre from ex-USSR (Belarus), Boris Braynin, 48, a former professional hockey and soccer player, who had immigrated to the USA, San Francisco, in 1979 (a famous year in the history or recent emigration; 51 thousands left USSR in that year; me too). Anyway, it is him (according to "Time") who came up with the idea, all on his own, that a poor Uncle Yeltsyn needs a little help, and got together that distinguished group of experts. Simple, ha? Our man in both Moscow and San Francisco... Our people (or "our" people?) as a go-in-between CIA and KGB, Yeltsyn and Clinton... (Remember an old joke: "Our air-force interceptor shot down our airplane over our territory..."). A soccer player with geo-political vision... Hmmm... One of the major tasks of the team, BTW, was to greatly minimize the chances of much more real democratic candidate, Yavlinsky, and bring in a "new democrat", general Lebed. But of course! We have only one "our man" out there: Yeltsyn! And only one man to protect democracy: Lebed! Right? A looting and killing will go on for the next four years, but hey, they are our people, aren't they?!

Naftalin, National Director Dt: July 3, 1996 Re: AUTHORITIES FAIL TO RESPOND TO JEWISH LEADERS* REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION AFTER ATTACKS ON CEMETERIES Jewish leaders, including Chief Rabbi of Georgia Ariel Levine, have reported that there have been several cases of destruction at Jewish cemeteries in Tbilisi, Georgia in the past three years. Although promises have been made regarding the investigation, reconstruction and future safeguarding of the cemeteries, there has been no action by the authorities. Below you will find a request for action and background information on the incidents. ACTION REQUESTED Rabbi Ariel Levine and Igor Klebanski, Assistant Director of the Caucasus-American Bureau on Human Rights urgently request that letters asking for a thorough investigation of the incidents as well as the placement of a guard at the cemeteries be sent to the President of the Georgian Republic, Edward Shevardnadze. Please also send letters to your members of Congress encouraging them to write letters of support. In addition, they urge that copies of letters be sent to the UCSJ to be forwarded to them in Tbilisi. Without such confirmation, the President could deny having received any protests. A copy of UCSJ*s letter is attached as a sample. Please send letters to: (postage 60 cents) The Honorable E. Shevardnadze, President of Georgia 7 Ingorokva Street, Tbilisi, Georgia 380007, FAX 99532-989380 Please send a copy to: Union of Councils, 1819 H St., NW, Suite 230, Washington, DC 20006 (202) 775-9770; (202) 775-9776 fax, email: ucsj@ucsj.com BACKGROUND In November 1994, in one of the three Jewish cemeteries in Tbilisi, 30 tombstones were destroyed. These instances of vandalism culminated in 99 acts of cemetery desecration over the period from 1988 to 1994. After numerous requests for government response, President Shevardnadze published a response in February 1996. In his reply, the President promised that an investigation would be conducted, the tombstones would be repositioned and care for monuments to Jewish culture would be implemented. At this time, not one point of the decree has been fulfilled and the condition of the cemetery has not changed. These incidents occurred in a context of a general criminalized situation in Georgia including other crimes against the Jewish community such as the 1995 theft of 9 Sefer Torahs in the city of Akhaltsikhe. Local authorities tried to arrest the criminals, but until now the situation has not been resolved. Prior to this incident, Sefer Torahs were stolen from synagogues in Gori and Kutaisi.

The situation is rather standard. I came to US with a student visa, got a green card here and now want to go to Russia to see my parents. Entering Russia is easy, of course. The interesting part is how to leave it without too much trouble. This has been a hot topic for long time now. Some time ago a nice summary of options was posted here. In short, four options were described: - go to Russia and there apply for a permission to leave for permanent residence - get the permission while you are in US (pay $500 to the consulate etc) - pretend that you are not Russian citizen - go through the third country on your way back It seems that a new option has appeared. At least, the russian officials in Washington and San Francisco consulates claim, that to go to Russia and back I have to do NOTHING as long as my passport was issued in 1992 or later. They also say, that getting a green card in US doesn't automatically mean moving to US for permanent residence and so it is not necessary to get that famous emmigration stamp in the passport. Having spent the major part of my life in Russia, I find it difficult to believe. So here goes the question: Did you or anybody you know who has a green card but is not registered with Russian OVIR as moved to the USA for permanent residence managed to leave Russia directly for USA without any problems? Please reply directly to me. I'll try to post a summary later.

The blast, caused by a bomb left under a seat on the bus in the northeast of the city, injured more than 20 people, some of them seriously, police and health officials said. Police withdrew an early report that one person had been killed. President Boris Yeltsin, re-elected nine days ago to four more years in office, called immediately for tough action against terrorism. He said the city of 9 million was ``infested with terrorists.'' Moscow authorities announced a crackdown on undesirables in the city, particularly on ethnic groups from the Caucasus region where the Chechnya conflict is raging. Interior ministry troops commander Anatoly Shkirko said he was drafting more than 1,000 extra men into the capital to help city police ensure public safety. Mayor Yuri Luzhkov said Friday's blast was caused by a bomb made of more than half a pound of TNT left under a seat in the center of a No. 48 bus. ``We are witnessing a system of terrorist acts,'' Luzhkov told a news conference after visiting the scene of the blast on Prospekt Mira, a thoroughfare in the northeast of the city. State security officials at the scene said the bomb had been left in a sports bag similar to that containing a bomb which exploded on Thursday on another trolleybus closer to the city center. Five people were injured in that attack. The single-deck trolleybuses, which draw power from overhead cables and lumber slowly through the city, are a popular and easy mode of hop-on, hop-off transport for thousands of Muscovites. Luzhkov said there could be two explanations for the bombings. One was that the attacks were linked to threats by Chechen independence fighters to bring their struggle to the capital. The other was that the criminal world was responding to latest measures by Yeltsin and his security supremo, Gen. Alexander Lebed, to step up the fight against crime in Moscow. ``With a certain degree of certainty we can see a possible Chechen line and it is not an idle thought,'' Luzhkov said. In comments that boded ill for ethnic Caucasians in Moscow, as well as the capital's criminals, Luzhkov said: ``We intend to cleanse Moscow not only of homeless down-and-outs but also those elements that we consider dangerous.'' Itar-Tass news agency said it was clear from Luzhkov's comments that measures would be taken against ``visitors from the south'' -- a euphemism meaning people from the North Caucasus region as well as from the independent Transcaucasian states. Officials stressed on Friday that there was no hard evidence to tie the blasts to Chechen rebels. Kremlin troops have been bogged down in bitter fighting in Chechnya against separatists since December 1994. Asked if there could be a link to the Chechnya conflict, a state security spokesman said on Friday: ``I would not hurry to this conclusion. Possibly it was linked to the one yesterday.'' Yeltsin made his remarks to top state security officials as he presented Nikolai Kovalyov as the new director of the Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the KGB police. The carbon-copy bombing on Friday appeared to lay down a particular challenge to Lebed, who on Wednesday was given the task of fighting crime in the capital by Yeltsin. Bombers also struck on Moscow's underground railway on June 11 in an attack in which four people were killed and many injured. The latest bomb was sure to heighten tension in the capital, which is recovering from a bruising presidential election campaign in which law-and-order and the growing crime wave was a top issue. Tempers of people are also frayed by a heat wave which has driven temperatures up to 95 F. Trolleybus No 48 was turned into a scorched hulk of twisted metal by the blast. Blood splattered the pavement. Shards of glass littered a wide area. A witness said passengers scrambled to get out through the windows after the blast. ``I woke up when I heard the bang and saw the trolleybus standing there. People were trying to get out of the window, to get out however they could. It was terrible, painful,'' said Viktor Shlyakhtin.

(Russian and Western agencies, July 17) Col. General Igor Rodionov, best known in the West for his role in the bloody suppression of civilians in Tbilisi, Georgia in April of 1989, had served as chief of Russia's influential General Staff Academy since that time. MOSCOW SLAMS HAGUE TRIBUNAL. Russian foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov charged in Moscow yesterday that the deliberations of the international tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague are "overly politicized and unbalanced." MILITARY ATROCITIES PROLIFERATE. Russian soldiers aboard an APC shot and mutilated the bodies of three Chechen civilians in Katyr Yurt village (western Chechnya), bringing to 17 the number of civilians found to have been killed in this fashion in the last three days. In Grozny, Russian soldiers yesterday were officially reported as killing a father of five while robbing his apartment. In Makhkety village, ravaged last week for presumably harboring Zelimkhan Yandarbiev's headquarters, the Grozny authorities reported having found yesterday the bodies of 25 residents, "mostly girls and women from 3 to 90 years of age," killed in the shelling, the authorities announced. "Chechnya head" Doku Zavgaev and other collaborationist officials yesterday redoubled calls for prosecution of Russian soldiers who commit crimes against civilians. Grozny "deputy prime minister" Vakha Sagaev complained to the press about "numerous known cases of Russian soldiers beating and kidnapping peaceful local residents and holding them for ransom." The Grozny officials complained, as usual in such circumstances, that military atrocities sap their own position and strengthen that of the opposition. In Vladikavkaz, a Russian military court gave a two-year suspended sentence and immediately released a soldier found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the killing of war correspondent Natalya Alyakina in Chechnya. The killing had been widely seen as military intimidation of the press. The court action indicated that the Russian authorities are not about to restrain their troops. (Russian and Western agencies, July 17) MOSCOW DEMOCRATS PROTEST YELTSIN'S CHECHNYA "DECEPTION." Human rights campaigner and former Yeltsin ally Sergei Kovalev yesterday issued an open letter accusing Yeltsin of having secured his reelection by "grossly deceiving" the people of Russia in promising to end the war, only to "restart the savage war the day after the election result was officially announced... I personally knew from the beginning that your promises were lies," Kovalev wrote, warning the president that the presidential deception was discrediting Russia's fragile democratic processes. The pro-democracy daily Izvestiya, recently back in the Kremlin's camp, refused to print Kovalev's letter. At a joint news conference yesterday, leaders of the Moscow Helsinki Group, the Glasnost Foundation, and the Memorial Center made public a petition to Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov to initiate proceedings against Internal Affairs Minister Anatoly Kulikov and Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov for unsubstantiated and inflammatory statements blaming Chechens as a people for recent bomb explosions on two Moscow buses and urging expulsion members of undesirable ethnic minorities from Moscow. The statements incited ethnic strife and violated the constitution, the human rights groups charged. Kulikov additionally had suggested in a media interview that families of suspected Chechen or other "terrorists" should be punished along with the perpetrators as a deterrent. Kulikov claimed that "some Western countries" use this method -- in fact a practice used against "enemies of the people" during Stalin's rule.

Although some FBI sources privately said they were leaning toward sabotage as the cause of the crash, the officials publicly insisted all possible causes were being explored and no decision had been made for the FBI to take over the probe. ``We are not here to take over the investigation yet and we are not here to declare this is a terrorist event,'' Jim Kallstrom, head of the FBI's New York office, told a news conference. ``We have a lot of things that look like accident. We have a lot of things that look like terrorism ... At some point in time we are going to reach critical mass in one of those areas and then we are going to be prepared to say exactly what we think it is,'' he said. Kallstrom later added, ``I think we will know in a reasonable amount of time. Whether that is another two days or four days or a week or two weeks, I don't know.'' In response to a question, he said: ``We're looking at this as a criminal investigation.'' A Senate source confirmed that FBI Director Louis Freeh and National Transportation Safety Board chief James Hall briefed senators privately Friday on TWA Flight 800. The source said the transportation agency still was in charge of the investigation. Debris from the Boeing 747 must be recovered over a wide area of the sea -- an effort hampered by bad weather Friday -- and then put back together. ``It is the biggest jigsaw puzzle you can imagine,'' one FBI official said. Investigators did the same thing after the crash of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, a task made easier because the wreckage scattered over the ground, not the sea. JERUSALEM (Reuter) - Israeli anti-terrorism experts are looking for possible links between Muslim militants and the explosion of TWA flight 800, the newspaper Haaretz said Friday. In its top story the newspaper quoted an unidentified senior security source as saying Israel was helping U.S. intelligence agencies and the FBI in every way it could in their investigation of Wednesday's crash. The source said sabotage could only be ascertained once all the debris was collected, but he cited unspecified recent warnings of a possible attack on a plane, adding: ``All the signs point to a bomb having been planted on the plane.'' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office declined comment on the report. But Israeli security sources told Reuters Israel routinely cooperates on such matters with the United States, its closest ally. U.S. media have speculated that sabotage caused the Boeing 747 to burst into a ball of fire and crash with 230 passengers into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after it took off from New York for Paris. TWA said Flight 800 used to go on from Paris to Tel Aviv, but the Israel leg was discontinued in January. Israel Radio said two Israelis were among the passengers killed. A breakdown of the passengers' nationalities released by TWA contained no Israelis. In Paris, TWA spokesman Gilbert Dennemont told reporters TWA's security was initially handled by an Israeli firm. It was now in the hands of an American company specially set up for the purpose and trained by Israelis who had a long record of tight airline security measures. Dennemont described as ``pure speculation'' French media reports which said investigators were increasingly convinced the plane was the target of an attack, possibly downed by a surface-to-air missile fired from the American coast or from a ship at sea.

I do know that the proposal includes limiting wellfare to 5 year lifetime limit, and no more than 2 years at a time, but to what extent it is applicable to someone older than 65? How this law is related to subsistance for older people (e. g. under so called "8-th program")? Does any of you, Info-Russ subscribers, know what does it mean specifically to elderly immigrants/refugees from Russia? And if it does, is there anything we can do about it, like organize a petition to someone? Please reply directly to me; if I collect any substantitive information, I will post it here, on INFO-RUSS (our Coordinator actually encouraged me to do so). Sincerely, Volodja.

Each state would receive a lump sum of federal money to run its own welfare and work programs. -- The head of every family on welfare must work within two years, or the family would lose benefits. After receiving welfare for two months, adults must perform community service unless they have found regular jobs. States may choose not to have a community-service requirement. -- Lifetime welfare benefits are limited to five years. (States may set stricter limits.) Twenty percent of families may be exempted because of hardship. -- States may shift 30 percent of money in welfare block grant to programs for child care, social services and child protection (with a maximum of 10 percent going to social services). -- Social services block grant is reduced 15 percent from the current level. But social services money can be used for vouchers to buy goods and services for children in families cut off cash welfare. -- States must maintain their own spending on welfare at 75 percent of the 1994 level -- or 80 percent if they fail to put sufficient numbers of welfare recipients to work. -- States may pay additional benefits to cover children born to women already on welfare, as many states now do. -- States that do not meet goals for employment of welfare recipients lose part of their welfare block grants. Penalty rises from 5 percent in the first year to 21 percent in ninth year. -- States must provide Medicaid for anyone who would qualify for welfare under current law. Alternatively, states may establish uniform standards of eligibility for Medicaid and welfare, but Medicaid standards may not be more restrictive than those in effect on July 1, 1996. -- States must provide Medicaid coverage for one year for families that lose eligibility for cash welfare because of increased earnings. -- Future legal immigrants who have not become citizens would be ineligible for most federal welfare benefits and social services during their first five years in the United States. (After that, they generally become eligible for citizenship.) Supplemental Security Income and food stamps would end for noncitizens now receiving benefits. States have option whether to provide or deny Medicaid for noncitizens already in this country. -- Stricter eligibility standards would exclude many disabled children in low-income families seeking Supplemental Security Income. -- States generally must deny cash assistance and food stamps to people convicted of drug felonies, unless they explicitly adopt different policies. In any event, pregnant women and adults in drug treatment are not denied assistance. -- States may not penalize a woman on welfare who does not work because she cannot find day care for a child under 6 years old. (House and Senate had both protected women with children under 11.) -- A woman on welfare who refuses to cooperate in identifying the father of her child will lose at least 25 percent of her benefits. -- Innovative state welfare programs may continue under federal waivers granted before Oct. 1, 1996, even if they do not comply with all terms of the new welfare bill. -- Sources: House Ways and Means Committee, Senate Finance Committee. ----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Netters!
I am looing for any hints and leads which can result in 
obtaining financial aid for my sisters. They live in a 
Jewish settlement near Hebron and all three (aged 21 and 23) 
are studying in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. They 
have finished successfully their 2nd year and will
become ineligible for further government blanket subsidies. 
Their own work and their family's income definitely won't 
be sufficient to support their studies. 
People told me about some organizations in the US 
that may support them at least partually in their studies.
Any suggestions and personal experience will be 
greatly appreciated.  

Please reply to: misha@egh.com
Thanks in advance.

Hello, everyone!

Does anyone know if the changes proposed
in new welfare law apply to the "refugees"
from Russia ? They are legal immigrants, but kind of 
special type. They don't have to have an offer of
employment or bank account or a job to get a permanent
resident status, they usually are invited to the States
to have some assistance ...
What about them ? We all heard about other legal immigrants
now ( from Bolivia and Puerto Rico ), but 
not much about refugees from ex-USSR...

Does anybody know how to get a hold of some demographical research concerning
settlement of Russian (or rather former Soviet) immigrants in the US and
Canada? I specifically need to know numbers of immigrants from various cities
of origin and where they predominantly had settled in North America.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Natasha.

Hello, everyone!

Does anyone know which vaccinations and at what age a baby has to /(can)
have in the States and before coming there. I have daughter who will be
about 2 - 3 months old when she comes to the States. Shall we have some 
immunisation done before she goes which is not standard in Russia. I 
suppose there could be difference in the requirements and timing in these 
two countries.

Thank you in advance.

I would like to visit Boston for a week (08.29 - 09.04) and am
looking for a relatively inexpensive room to stay, preferably
with a Russian speaking or scientifically minded host. I am a
30-yr old physicist, originally from Moscow, now living in
Boulder CO. Please reply to ginzburg@colorado.edu if you are
interested in renting a room or know someone who is.
