Subject: Siberia Dispatches
Dear SEELANGers:
Since early August, Robert G. Kaiser, former Moscow Bureau Chief for
the Washington Post, has been travelling in Siberia and reporting
back on his experiences in different cities. I have read a couple of
the dispatches and they are generally upbeat about Siberia and
Russia. All the dispatches (and lots of photos and interesting
websites) can be accessed from a central website at:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/siberiadiary/
There is a lot of interesting material here and, unlike
much of the stuff reported in the American press, it conveys a
balanced and often positive image of Russia.
With best wishes to all,
Ben Rifkin
