I have a question about fonts and such ("fonts an'nat" if your from
Pittsburgh, like me).  OK, I know I'm a loser because I haven't dared to
try downloading/installing slavic fonts on my school computers yet, but
I'm tackling surmountable tasks at the moment.

Anyway, on a new computer that has recently shown up in our gifted
classroom (a big ole Gateway 2000 which runs like the wind), I notice that
most pages (like the Bucknell pages and Izvestia -- I haven't tried a lot
yet) are coming up in cyrillic even tho I (nor anyone else) have installed
any fonts.  Please someone tell me that this will be standard from now
on??  Or am I just in the middle of an end-of-the-school-year dream??

Devin,

The Bucknell pages and many others set the font (character set) codepage
(KOI8, Win 1251, etc.) in the meta-tags of the page itself.  (Open
VIEW/PAGE SOURCE and you should find the line: <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=koi8-r">.)  If the
fonts installed in the computer are compatible, they automatically come up
in the right code-page when they read the charset command.

Another neat property of Windows 95 is the multilanguage support.  If you
do not already have the Russian keyboard/Cyrillic codepage installed, go
into 'Control Panel' and double click 'Keyboards'.  In the 'Language' file,
if 'Russian' is not listed, choose 'Add' and select 'Russian'.  You will be
asked for the Win95 CD from which your Gateway will download an English /
Russian keyboard.  Also check 'Enable indicator on taskbar' and set your
toggle keys (I use 'Cntl+Shift' to toggle between Cyrillic and Russian.)
This will provide you with Win 1251 codepage in all your applications. If
you want KOI8, and/or a learner's keyboard, you will have to use a separate
keyboard driver such as the Tavultesoft driver you  can download from the
On-line Russian Grammar site. I run both all the time.

Once the standard Russian keyboard is installed, if you don't get Cyrillic
when the 'Ru' icon in the lower right-hand corner is on (you can also click
it to change keyboards), it is because multilingual support
(English-Cyrillic fonts) has not been installed.  That is accomplished by
returning to Control Panel and double clicking 'Add/Remove Programs' and
selecting the 'Windows Setup' file.  Listed there you will find
'Multilanguage Support'.  Double click that line and you will get a menu of
Central European, Cyrillic and Greek languages.  I recommend that you
choose only one; otherwise, toggling between them becomes a problem (2-3
keystrokes to switch from Cyrillic to English and back instead of one).
However, you may install all three.  Again you will be asked for the Win95
installation CD, where the software resides.

The results of all this is that Win1251 fonts and a standard Russian
keyboard will now reside in Windows, available for all applications you
use.  Your machine will read KOI8, 1251, and ISO 8859-5 files but will type
only Win 1251 on a standard keyboard-online, offline, in all your
applications.

I'm sending this to everyone under the assumption that others may be
getting their first Windows machine and may not know that multilanguage
support is available.  Few computer salesmen or technicians know it is
there since they have no use for it.

It is important to note that there are several versions of the Windows 95
CD, and that some computer manufactures who license Windows from Microsoft
include a CD that does NOT incorporate the multilanguage support module on
the CD! I have such a CD, unfortunately. However, it is possible to
download the multilanguage support package separately from the MS www page
(which is, however, rather difficult to navigate due to their insistence
that a user register, accept cookies, etc.). I do not have the URL at hand
(perhaps someone else can supply it?), but there is a link to it somewhere
on the Fingertip Software www page at www.cyrillic.com.

I have a Mac and I've russified it quite well with both Macintosh, code
page 1251, and KOI8 fonts and keyboard layouts. Its very easy to make your
Mac cyrillic freindly but having it talk to Windows machines in cyrillic is
a harder task. Here's some sites to check out especially Brama's Ukrainian
Gateway highly recommended.

Traditionally, Russian Universities were considered higher in status than
Pedagogical Institutes. So Universities were always under the authority of
MINVUZ, and PI- together with schools- under MINOB&bPROFOb. Now many
insitutes try to get a University status, as there is a fear that many
budget organizations will be cut and Institutes will be dissolved or merged
with the existing Universities. I'll be happy to answer any questions on
Higher Education of Russia. I am also the author of the Dictionary of Higher

I found the dictionary at the Web address:

and am impressed by its coverage, yet mystified by the way it looks on
my computer screen: different parts of the dictionary appear in
different fonts, and sometimes the Cyrillic letters are in Cyrillic,
other times we get a string of English letters like
Ainoaa?noaaiiue yecaiai
                            (Gosudarstvenniy ekzamen)

What should I do to see all the Russian letters consistently?

As an aside to font discussions.

At UCLA we're starting to work with "dynamic fonts".  Dynamic fonts
require Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0 (or above), and strike me
as pretty new.  We're at the experimental stage, but it's at least a
partial solution to the fonts-on-the-Internet problem.  Every undergrad
course has a web page, and--of course--the computing staff hit Big
Problems with fonts (but they were warned.....).

You take your font of choice (Glagolitic, let's say), and convert it to
a portable format (using licensed software).  You refer to this file in your
html, causing Netscape or IE to download it.  The page is properly
displayed, as are other pages (until the disk cache is cleared).  The
fonts are only temporarily installed (and only for the Web browser's
benefit.).  I've been told that they print properly as well, but
haven't tried that yet.

While there's the added overhead of the browser having to download an
80-130 kb font file per font per session, and only IE 4.0/Netscape 4.0 (or
above) currently support dynamic fonts, it's certainly better than making
sure every first year Russian student has the proper font set on his/her
computer.

If we ever finally get set up and running, we'll probably wind up having a
publically available set of dynamic fonts and font information that I'll
forward to seelangs.

(Now if somebody could tell me how to send e-mail in *Cyrillic*  between
PCs and Macs using Pegasus mail......)

While we are on this topic, can I ask for advice or suggestions on
the following problem.
I use  the Wordperfect 5.1 Russian module as my preferred cyrillic
word processor and have Windows 3.1 on my machine. I may have to
upgrade to Windows 95 but although it is still possible to use the WP
5.1 Russian OK in Windows 95 I also have a large number of files in
AV (al'ternativnyi variant) format for which I have to change the code
page when I start up Wordperfect using wp/cp=899 (see p.143 of the
Language Module handbook).
Experiments suggest that it is not possible to do this
under Windows 95. Has anyone had experience of this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Here is interesting information on higher education in Russia for the
SEElangs readership.  I hope I'm not violating any rules about presumptious
postings to the list.

Under Presidential Decree No 483 dated April 30, 1998 "On the Structure
of Federal Executive Branch" there is no Ministry of Higher Education
any more, so all the institutes and academies, and Pskov State
Pedagogical Institute among them, operate under the aegis/authority of
the Ministry of General and Professional Education (Ministerstvo
obshchego i professional'nogo obrazovaniia) and not under the Ministry
of Higher Education.

Subject: pronunciation of a Latvian(?) name
Message-ID: <TUE.2.JUN.1998.105638.EDT.>

Dear colleagues,

Sorry for a marginal post.

I happened meet a Latvian (maybe) name
in an English text I am translating into Japanese:

  V. Krastins

The text is a letter from a Canadian pianist written in 1963,
and the person is the addresse, who lived in Riga then.

Is it a Russian name or a Latvian name?
How shall I pronunce it?
I need to know the pronunciation
to transcribe the name into Japanese *phonetically*.
I am particularly know wheater the last letter "s" is voiced
or un-voiced, and where the accent is located.
Is  Latvian accent different from Russian?
(If it is a Russian name, I know how to pronounce it.)

Thank you in advance.   Please reply off-list.

Regards,

Junichi

P.S.  Mr. Krastins lived in "Zutenu 1-6" in Riga.
How to pronounce "Zutenu"?  Like a Russian word?

I don't have any documents with me, but I would disagree that Universities
and high schools can be under the aegis of the same Ministry in Russia. As
far as I know Ministry of Higher education was renamed several times during
the last decade:" Komitet po Vyshemy Obrazovanie", " Komitet po nauke i
vysh. obrz". I think they still have two separate Ministries :  One for
Universities and Academies, another for schools, colleges and Institutes.

Message-ID: <WED.3.JUN.1998.115942.EDT.>

Dear colleagues:

Thank you very much for many off-list replies for
the pronunciation of "Krastins".

Let me say thank-you *on-list* here.
(Forgive me for not writing back to you off-list.)

Summary:
The answers are almost unanimous.
Krastins is a Latvian name
and it is pronounced like /krastinysh/ or /krastin'sh/
with the stress on the first syllable.

I hear the meaning is "of sea shore".

The street name "Zutenu" is /zhutenu/ with
the stress on the first syllable.
Someone told me it looks like a genitive plural
or a genitive singular.

Regards,
Junichi,  Waseda/Hosei/Keio, Tokyo

Dear Cathy:

Yes, I'd appreciate it if you could ask a specific question(s).

Please post the following message:

"Could someone please tell me where there is a WORKING/ACTIVE site for getting
a good, working freeware/shareware Cyrillic/Russian font for my Macintosh.
Also, I could use help with instructions on properly loading and using the
KOI-8 Russian keyboard layout.  I currently have tried to install it in my
Mac, but it never appears as a choice in my Keyboards control panel.  (By the
way, I'm running on a Mac Performa 6200, with 32MB of RAM, System 8.1.)  If
there is also a useful Russian-to-English translator program for the Mac, I'd

Please send your responses directly to me at Jcollymore at aol.com.

Message-ID: <WED.10.JUN.1998.004245.0500.>

Dear Colleagues:

As you know, I have tried to keep you all informed of the latest
developments in Russian Radio and TV. This is of interest to me
personally because, like many if not most of you, I am NOT a native
speaker of Russian and any opportunity to improve my hearing or
spoken knowledge of Russian is welcome indeed! I am sure many of you
feel the same way.

A major development along this line has recently taken place at Radio
Free Europe (RFE), whose address is:

http://www.rferl.org

What is remarkable about this offering by RFE is that their
broadcasting of their archived taped clips on a variety of subjects
(a long list of around 20 1-hour tapes, which includes several
ongoing series and is constantly updated) is accompanied by THE
ENTIRE TEXT of the broadcast itself. That is, after clicking on the
"archives", you will find a long list of taped clips. Then click on
the icon for the taped clip immediately to the right of the written
text, bring up your FREE RealPlayer (or RealAudio) software client,
then go back and click on the text on the left and bring up the full
Russian text. You can then follow the entire lecture on the screen
while listening to it on your speakers or earphones. Nothing could
be more wonderful than this arrangement, thanks to the kind folks at
RFE.

Be sure to remember to click on the audio "ear" icon ("poslushat'")
immediately to the RIGHT rather than the FTP version on the far
right ("vygruzit'"), which is a file that you would select if you
wanted to save the file to your computer and listen to it later. The
advantange of the live audio is obvious. You will hear the clip
immediately. The advantage of FTP is having the broadcasts
permanently on your own computer's audio library. This is especially
great if you want to have an entire series of lectures. But, of
course, first you must save them, and that can take a long time.

The lectures cover everything, not only Russian history and culture
but, for instance, currently, a series of lectures on Casanova. They
are first-rate.

Finally, please don't forget that when you go to the RFE Russian
Service you can also choose to hear their 24-hour a day, 7 days a
week live broadcasts ("Priamoi efir" or "kruglosutochno") rather than
the archives.

As for the TV  and Video part, currently there are only two sites on
the Internet that I know of that offer video/audio broadcasts in
Russian, the St. Petersburg Fitness Center, which, along with a lot
of pretty faces, has a variety of video/audio lectures on a variety
of subjects other than just fitness (requiring the free RealPlayer).
And, of course, don't forget Chulaki's wonderful video/audio lectures
using Microsoft's Netshow or MediaPlayer 5.2 (all available free by
clicking the proper icon on Chulaki's site).

You'll find all of these sites under Radio & Audio and Radio-TV on
Sher's Russian Index. The address is at the bottom of my signature.

All my best,

Yours,

Benjamin

For a culture which loves dictionaries, it is surprising that Russian has not
 had a
dictionary of quotations before now. Even if a Dictionary of Contemporary
 Quotations such
as this would have been impossible for political reasons, a dictionary with
 mainly
classical, literary and maybe also religious content would not have been
 unthinkable (on
similar lines to the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations). In compiling a Dictionary
 of
Contemporary Quotations (DCQ) Dushenko shows a certain structural indebtedness
 to the
ODQ, for example using a mixed alphabetic and number system to locate the
 quotations. In
this case each letter of the alphabet has its own sequence of numbers for the
 quotes. The
main body of quotations is in alphabetical order of the originator, followed by
 separate
sections "Anonymous Quotations: Songs; Political Slogans; Advertising texts;
 Other
anonymous quotations and expressions". There is an index of all names mentioned
 and an
index of quotations, listed by the first word, rather than by a key word.
In content, of course, the DCQ differs markedly from the ODQ, whose major
 content is
Biblical, classical, and literary. The DCQ cheerfully includes song texts,
 broadcasting
and mass media, cinema, radio and television, and titles of plays, books etc.,
 all
excluded by the ODQ. The DCQ's international content is understandably greater.
 The DCQ
has many short quotations of the "catch phrase" type from world politics and
 business
dating from the 1930s onwards. Often a small article discusses the likely
 origins and
antecedents of each item. Arguably this dictionary is as good as any for
 tracking down
this or that political/economic/social quotation of the 20th century, and there
 is a
special six-page index of foreign-language quotations at the back of the book.
Political quotations reveal that Soviet history is still very much alive in the
 Russian
mind: major collections are from Lenin (15pp) Stalin (10pp), Churchill (4pp) and
 Trotsky
(3pp). There are also many quotations from political figures of the tsarist
 Dumas and the
revolutionary period. It comes as a surprise to discover that the phrase
 "peaceful
coexistence" was first used by Chicherin in 1920. Some of Nikita Khrushchev's
 more
notorious sayings are here, and I could have wished for more. Present day
 politicians are
included, many of them in quotes that they must surely wish had been totally
 forgotten.
To mention only one, Pavel Grachev's words on the taking of Grozny in January
 1995:
"Eighteen year old youths were dying for Russia - and with a smile on their
 faces.."
Fortunately the Russian genius for humour is represented with, among others,
 Mikhail
Zhvanetsky, Yakov Kostyukovsky and Arkady Raikin. Under Raikin we are
 re-directed to 11
different scriptwriters who produced his material. Here are all the old
 favourites:
"Shutki shutkami, no mozhet byt' i deti!" "Normal'no, Grigorii! Otlichno,
 Konstantin!"
"Poskol'znulsya, upal, poteryal soznanie, ochnulsya - gips!" "Ya ne p'yu. - A ya
 p'yu?"
Significant literary collections are from Mayakovsky (an unbelievable 17pp), Ilf
 and
Petrov (11pp), Blok (7pp), Mandelshtam (6pp), Akhmatova, Esenin, Gorky,
 Pasternak,
Vysotsky, Okudzhava (all 4-5pp) and Tvardovsky (3pp). Apart from many glorious
 lines
cited, the dictionary quotes, with the same Schadenfreude shown in the choice of
political quotations, the most craven panegyrics to Stalin written by certain
 poets in
the thirties.
All in all, for me, a quite absorbing bedside book which widens one's horizons
 about
Russian life, literature and politics and often provides a fascinating
 mirror-image of us
in the West as seen through Russian eyes.

The new dictionary is very much to be welcomed, but Russianists were
not totally helpless before. I have often referred to N.S.Ashukin,
M.G.Ashukina, "Krylatye slova: Literaturnye citaty, Obraznye vyrazhenija"
Izdanie vtoroe, dopolnennoe, GIXL, Moskva 1960.
Under G, for instance, it has:

27. Glazomer, bystrota, natisk.
Aforizm velikogo russkogo polkovodca A.V.Suvorova. `Etimi slovami
v svoej "Nauke pobezdat'" (napisannoj v 1796 g., pervoe izdanie 1806
g.) on opredelil "tri voinskie iskusstva".
[quotation from Chexov containing this phrase]
28. Glas vopijushchego v pustyne.
Vyrazhenie iz biblii (Isaija, 40, 3; citiruetsja u Matf., 3.3. i
v drugix mestax) upotrebljaetsja v znachenii: naprasnyj prizyv
k chemu-nibud', ostajushchijsja bez vnimanija, bez otveta.

In my youth we had a pre-revolutionary dictionary "Krylatye slova i
vyrazhenija" I believe by Mixel'son. I may be wrong about the name.
Obviously I could not take it out of the country.

Is there an institute in Prague or elsewhere that maintains a card catalog of
illustrative, historical or otherwise imporant usages of the words of the
Czech language as the Institut russkogo iazyka does for Russian?  Does anyone
have a contact with access who would be willing to look up two words?

Any leads would be much appreciated.

Message-ID: <SUN.14.JUN.1998.201301.0500.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues:

I share with you the following call for papers:

Call for Papers on Foreign Language Staff Selection, Mentoring,
Evaluation

Papers are invited for  the Year 2000 volume of the American
Association of  University Supervisors and Coordinators of Foreign
Language Programs.  The volume, published by Heinle and Heinle, is
tentatively titled Foreign Language Teaching Assistants, Lecturers, and
Adjunct Faculty:  Their Selection, Mentoring, and Evaluation.

Edited by Benjamin Rifkin, this volume will consider the principles and
practice of hiring, mentoring, evaluating, and rewarding teaching
assistants, lecturers, and adjunct faculty in foreign languages.
Suggested topics include: criteria for selecting instructional staff,
including the relationship between TAships and the graduate program;
assessment of applicants' linguistic competency and of potential teaching
ability; documentation of these competencies after instructors begin
teaching; procedures for mentoring instructors and rewarding them for
excellent teaching; role of the language program director and other
department members in all of the above; nature of communication among
applicants, employed instructors, and the department, college, and
university administrators; and legal ramifications of hiring and retention
practices.  Essays should draw upon theory as well as upon practical
models and should not be restricted to a description of a single program.

The volume editor welcomes questions about the suitability of topics and
advance submissions.

Deadline for submission of papers (4 copies):  1 November 1999.

See style sheet (Modified Chicago B) in recent issues of the AAUSC
series.

I would appreciate it if you would consider contributing to this volume and
if you would pass this call for papers on to colleagues in other languages.

With thanks,

Ben Rifkin

The Czech National Corpus is maintained by the Filozofická fakulta
University Karlovy in Prague.  There is limited public access to this
via the web, so you may be able to look up your two words for
yourself.  The URL is: http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz/

Colleagues may be interested to know that the Mikhelson volume has (fairly)
recently been republished in a reprint edition.  Full details are:

M.I. Mikhelson,  Khodjachie i metkie slova: Sbornik russkikh i inostrannykh
tsitat, poslovits, pogovorok, poslovichnykh vyrazhenij i otdel'nykh slov
(inoskazanij).

Moscow, TERRA, 1994 (the original edition seems to have come out in 1890).

It is a very useful source for 18th and 19th century quotations etc.

"Being modest in achievements is being unknown", that is why I can add to
the list of dictionatries

Belyanin V., Boutenko I. Zhivya Rech: Slovar Razgovornyh Vyrazheniy. 1929
articles, 2558 units. (Living Speech) Moscow, 1994.-192 p.

This dictionary also contains a lot of quotations from Ilf and Petrov,
from some 12 popular films and some soviet verses, and also the remakes.
None of the expressions could be found before in any Soviet dictionary.
P.S. I still have some copies of it at home. You can also ask Slavica
publishers to order it from me.

Dear Seelangers,

there have recently been some requests for possibilities to learn Russian in
Russia. I would like to drive your attention to a well functioning program
in St.Petersburg. It's called
        Info Studies
and works all the year, though more intensively during summer. This company
is practically a cooperation of Boston College with Dom Pushkina (Russian
Academy of Sciences), since the latter renders certificates after exams.
Course levels are different, but one should already know some elementary
Russian to enter a course there. The lessons are given by professional stuff
(all Russians with higher philological education).
        If anybody is interested in such an opportunity to improve one's
Russian, he/she should ask me for the address. (People engaging into a
course there should tell who has recommended that company. I and my wife,
who is a Russian with some considerable experience in teaching Russian as a
foreign language, can really recommend it.)
        Best,
Bjoern Wiemer.

Hi. There is a little bit of information about Mayakovskii and futurism on
my new web page at: http://www.ualberta.ca/~lmalcolm/poetry/index.html
There is also a translation of one of his poems, and there are links to
other translations on the web. Enjoy!

My name is Danielle Buckley and I am currently going into ninth grade.
I am interested in taking a course in Russian by mail.  Russian was my
first language but I need to brush up on grammar, reading and writing.
If you have a course which I could take, please respond.  Thank you.

Message-ID: <TUE.16.JUN.1998.175432.0400.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

When spelling a name over a phone, do Russians use any kind of phonetic aid
(such as "alpha, bravo, charlie..." is used in the American military)?  I
understand that the German postal service, for example, has a standardized
"buchstabiertafel" for just such use.  Is there such a thing in Russian,
and if so, does anyone have any suggestions about my getting a copy?

Thanks,

Jerry Ervin

Russians usually use first names as phonetic aid for
spelling ( such as "Andrey, Boris, Vladimir..."), but
there is not a standardized system for that in Russian.

Dear SEELANGers:

For those of us in North America, a reminder that most PBS stations will be
broadcasting the first installment of a 3-hour special entitled "Faces of
Russia" produced and narrated by James Billington starting June 17.  (The
second and third installments scheduled for June 24 and July 1.)  I am
writing about this because I have seen a description of the program and am
very impressed with it; we can only hope it stimulates enrollment in our
language and culture courses.

The official Web site for the series is pretty spectacular-- it's at
http://www.pbs.org/weta/faceofrussia/. It has information on the show,  k-12
lesson plans, a timeline with graphics, sound bites, movie clips, among other
things. The Web site in and of itself looks like a great teaching and learning
tool (and it may even inspire some latent Russophiles to sign up for courses!)

Subject: Russian Painting -- Unique WWW site
Message-ID: <FRI.19.JUN.1998.042555.0500.>

Dear Colleagues:

I am taking the liberty of inviting you all to the official opening
of Russian Painting, an extraordinary site dedicated to the
masterpieces of Russian Painting and encompassing the entire history
of Russia, from the Icons of the Medieval Period to the Suprematists
and Cubo-Futurists of the 20th century. The site features images,
texts and discussions of crucial issues in Russian history and art.
Fully hypertextual, it allows the reader to explore, in breadth and
depth, the rich and complex history of Russian Painting both in its
own right and as a reflection of the institutions, movements and
conflicts that have shaped Russian art and culture through the
centuries.

This fully hypertextual site has been created and is maintained by my
good friend, Professor Alexander Boguslawski and his students at
Rollins College, Florida.

The address of Russian Painting is:

http://www.rollins.edu/Foreign_Lang/Russian/ruspaint.html

You may also find the address on my Index under:

Art -- Russian Painting -- A History in Images and Text

You will find the address for the Index at the bottom of my
signature.

I consider it both a personal and professional honor to offer my
congratulations to Professor Boguslawski and his students for their
invaluable contribution to the advancement of Russian studies.
Finally, our thanks to Rollins College for hosting this great and, I
might add, unique site on the World Wide Web.


Yours,

Benjamin

OK, here's my first message with an update of PSMLA's "Russian in PA and
Beyond" page.  Check it out, and please help me to fill in the blanks.  I
don't have much time these days, so I can't do a lot of searching around
for school homepages and teacher email address (altho I'd like to).  If
you have that kind of information, please send it along!  There are a
handful of schools with no instructor listed as well.  Here's to keepin'
it going!  :-)

Message-ID: <MON.22.JUN.1998.104751.0600.SEELANGS@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU>

Greetings!

A Russian immigrant friend of mine here in Indianapolis was trying to tell
me about a film which made a great impression on her in Moscow in the
1970s, which showed under the title Generaly peschanyx kar'erov. She
thought it was an American film, and would like to see it again. I couldn't
come up with a title for her. Does anyone happen know if this is really an
American film, and if so (or even if not), what the original title is? This
smacks of a rephrasing, e.g., like Some Like It Hot, which became something
like V Dzhaze tol'ko devushki in Russia.

Russia, (about 25 years ago), and I still remember it!

in order for the movie to be politically correct...I am not mentioning
"sexy" episodes...

Oh, I forgot to mention that the title of Jorge Amado's novel
"Capitces de Areia" is also translated as "The Sandpit
Generals".Interesting, huh? I would translate it as "Captains of Sand"
though....Anyways that's how it was translated into Russian- "Kapitani
Peska".
Take care.

I read it some months ago and found it very interesting.
I will recommend it to any Seelanger even remotely
interested in the subject matter. The book hes something to
offer even to those who think they know a lot about the folk
music of this region.

I have marked  the articles which I found the most rewarding
with an X. Others may have different preferences.

However, the book could (should?) have been twice as big.
I missed articles on e.g. Belarus', Slovenia and Albania

i have 2 general questions in reference to a translation i'm doing for

question #1: is there a reliable pager company/service that is available
for his (russian-speaking) sales rep to use while in russia? if so, what
are average prices/service featurs? (i.e., is it affordable and
convenient?)

question #2: are the following prices on merchandise to be sold to
wholesalers (for later retail sale to more affluent russians) too high
or are they acceptable? (i've seen the merchandise and feel that the
quality and design are very good.)
        (a) t-shirts with various designs/english text: $20-$25
        (b) leather biker jackets:  $200
        (c) windbreakers: $50
        (d) dress shirts $40-$50
        (e) nylon, wool jackets $90-$100

Subject: seeking innovative Internet uses in Central, Eastern Europe

I'm hoping listmembers can help me identify instances of innovative Internet
use in Central and Eastern Europe.

Specifically I'm searching for examples of how people have used the
technology to influence or reshape social and political power structures
in their nation or across the region.  This includes using the Internet to
create new partnerships and alliances that have influence, in creating
freenets or civicnets that provide access to those who would not have it

Hi all!  If anyone out there can help me out, I'd appreciate it.  I'm
trying to learn how to create forms on a web page with Netscape Composer
(within Netscape Communicator 4.0).  I know, I know, it's probably a
breeze with straight html, but I'm basically a chicken when it comes to
ooogy-looking things like computer "languages" in the raw!

I've checked a few books at the local Barnes & Noble bookstore, but none
of them have addressed creating forms (altho most address how to fill in
the forms - duh...).

Drop me a line if you have an idea about this!  Thanks in advance!

Check out George Mitrevski's tutorials at
http://www.auburn.edu/~mitrege/knowledge/index.html

They were great for me. Keep in mind that he uses koi8 exclusively for
Cyrillic. If you plan to use lots of interactive forms for Cyrillic using
Windows Cyrillic (1251), there is one little trick that he does not cover:
in Java Script's prompts for validating inputs, don't type a word with я
(ja, lower case). This will hang users' computers, if they are using
Netscape Communicator. To avoid this problem, "escape" the last letter of
the Russian alphabet with a backslash.

So... in Java Script, when using WinCyrillic, when validating a user's
answer, DON'T do this:

validate предложения [predlozhenija]
(Note: while this "problem" happens in Win Cyrillic 1251, I am typing this
example in Netscape 4.0 Mail, which converts e-mail from 1251 to koi8
automatically. If you are reading this message in an e-mail program other
than Netscape, it will look like I'm discussing 1251 but giving this example
in koi8. It's not a subtle trick on my part. It's how Netscape codes e-mail)

Instead key in this:

validate предложени\я? [prelozheni\ja]

When Java Script executes, the letter [ja] will show up normally on the
screen.

This applies to words containing lower-case ja only as part of Java Script
commands, not to Russian words in html outside of Java Script. It also does
not apply to words the user types in.

Finally, NONE of this applies to anything written in koi8. The problem is
that in WinCyrillic1251, ja occupies ANSI 255, a reserved code in some kinds
of programs.

If all of the above sounds like gibberish, just take one or two of
Mitrevski's Cyrillic Java Scripts for Russian in koi8. Rekey in the Russian
in "normal" Windows Cyrillic (i.e. Times New Roman Cyr) in Netscape, then
"Preview" the results. Your computer will crash. At that point, it will
become clear why you need the backslash "ja" solution.

Best regards,
Rich Robin

Microsoft have encoded the lowercase <ja> in a forbideen place
where ISO has stipulated to be a DEL/EOF.

Microsoft may think they have become the de facto standard replacing
ISO, but Netscape doesn't think so.

The use of the '\' character before that of another one seems to be common
across scripting languages.  Basically its interpretation implies "use the
character which follows as a literal and not in its programing/meta form".  

I came across this same problem when I was implementing the Javascript/Perl
search engine on our website (a humble little selo some of you may know as
BRAMA - Gateway Ukraine located one hop of some major T1 at
http://www.brama.com/; somewhere near Exit 1 off of Interstate 70 in the
WashDC area for those of you not yet on the Info-Superhighway).  I wanted
to be sure and have it available in not only English but also in Ukrainian.

With all of the Ñ's bouncing around in the search database I went at this
Javascript problem on my own, spending hours until I resolved it.  Then I
discovered www.dejanews.com and saw that I could have used their search
facility to find my answer much more easily.

Anyway, I invite you to try our small but hopefully useful search engine at
our site and request any suggestions you might have.  Currently, it is only
functional with Netscape browsers ("Internet Exlorer who? ..., where's
Redmond???" ), but at some point in the future that should be remedied.

CENTER OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
The Center of Russian Language and Culture at St. Pe-tersburg
State University is pleased to inform you about its facilities
and activities.The Center provides, on a contract basis, instruction
to foreign under-graduate and postgraduate students, teach-ers,
businessmen and others who are interested in the Rus-sian language
and related humanities subjects.Founded in the early 18th century,
Saint-Petersburg State University is one of the oldest universities
in Russia, and our University Center has many years of experience
in Russian language instruction to foreigners. In the United States
alone, there are currently more than 7,000 graduates from Saint-Petersburg
University specialising in the  field of Russian language and literature.

Every year the Center accepts approximately one thousand foreigners from
all over the world for study at Saint-Petersburg University. Because the
inhabitants of St.Petersburg speak classical Russian, devoid of any
dialects, it is particularly attractive for foreigners to study Russian
here. Our students are also attracted by the relatively  cheap cost
of living. In St.Petersburg there are wealth of possibilities for
travelling and cultural activities (the prices are 30% lower than in Moscow).

Ancient Russian cities and a good social and political situation
in the region attract tourists from all over the world.

The Center offers several basic programs of study, which have proven
to be effective over many decades. We also arrange linguistic and cultural
practice for Russian native speakers (including 2-nd and 3-rd generation
(immigrants).The total cost of a program depends upon its duration and the
amount of services rendered, and may be negoti-ated on an individual basis.
By additional services is implied the provision of meals, social events
in St.Petersburg, trips to other region of Russia, etc.

The total cost of programs depends upon duration and on the amount of

To enter our University Center of Russian Language and Culture, each
applicant must submit AN APPLICATION in letter form (4 weeks before
the beginning of studies) which provides the following information:

of visa support in the form of an invitation by fax. With this letter
student must then apply to the Russian Em-bassy for a Russian entry visa.
Unfortunately, there is often a delay of 1-2 months in receipt of letters
to/from the Russia, so fax number or e-mail should be provided by students
where possible to  facilitate the staff to registration of official papers.
Should the student wish to change the details of his/her request after
receiving of the invitation a charge of US20$ will be made for the issue
of a new invitation.

or more, he/she must provide us by fax before arrival with the results of:
: a HIV-test;

us in advance of any changes in your arrival by phone on working days.

The dormitory is located at the following address: Ko-rablestroitelei str.,
20/3 (room 501). If you fail to find our rep-resentative upon arrival
you should call the administrative staff of the dormitory (phone 3561455)
before taking a taxi. In case of flight delay al financial loses must be
covered by the transport companies which were used by the transport companies
which were used by the student for travelling to St.Petersburg, not
by the Center.

All foreign citizens pay for medical treatment in Russia. We recommend that
you obtain medical insurance in your country before  departure which you
can use to refer  to the  American Medical Center in St.Petersburg or
to any other local medical organisation.

Students are supplied with sheets, and a limited amount of crockery in the

Subject: Immersion Language Training Query
Message-ID: <MON.29.JUN.1998.130227.0400.BURSAC@FAS.HARVARD.EDU>

Dear Seelangers: I received this query from a colleague interested in
starting up an immersion language training summer school on an East Coast
campus for Eastern European languages. I would be grateful for any
comments you may have - thanks! Ellen Elias-Bursac

 ---------- Forwarded message----------

Query:

As many of you know, there  is no place  on the Eastern coast for  summer
immersion language training in the lesser studied languages of East  and
Central Europe.  In consideration of this fact, a colleague at another
university has told me that it might be possible to begin  a summer
language training institute for three or four of these languages (for
example Serbian/Croatian, Polish, and Czech). Such an institute would be
loosely based on the "Middlebury model" of total immersion in the language
and would be based at a major Eastern institution of higher education.

 In order to assess the demand for such a program,   could colleagues who
might be interested in such a program send some information about the
following

1. Which East European languages do you think there is the most demand for?
2.  What level  should the language be taught at?  (Beginning,
intermediate, etc.)
3.  Who would be most interested studying such languages intensively?
Undergraduates? Graduates? Colleagues at your or other universities?
4. What would be  a reasonable cost for an 8-9 week summer intensive
program, including room and                     board?
5.  Would visiting summer faculty be available to teach in the languages?

Please direct queries to:


XXXXXXXXXX Your email?

 Ellen -- can you field the queries and send them to me? I really don't
want to give any inkling that Wellesley is involved at this point - of
course, I don't want them to think that it's Harvard either, but I've
worded the above so that it looks like you're just fielding a query for
me.). Feel free to edit this as you please and if you could send it out to
CLANG ASAP, I'd be grateful. I'd rather have the information waiting for me
when I get back from BiH, so in case the Dean calls on me I can have
something ready.

Please let me know if this sounds OK or if you think anything could be added.


Of course I just realized that it such an institute were to take off I
wonder if that would decrease your enrollments at Harvard. I wouldn't want
that to happen. What I have in mind is something that would attract people
from away.

Anyway, let me know what you think

Best regards,

Tom

Subject: Moral'nyi iznos
Message-ID: <MON.29.JUN.1998.143925.0600.>

   This is a bit stale, but I hope might be of some interest. Several
weeks ago, there was some discussion on the list of the meaning of the
phrase "moral'nyi iznos." Yesterday, by pure chance, I ran across an
example of the use of a related phrase. In the Mar 5 1980 issue of
"Literaturnaia gazeta," in an article that gives a brief survey of the
debate over Lake Baikal over the preceding two decades, we read: "6
fevralia [1965 g.] pisatel' O. Volkov publikuet stat'iu . . . gde
privodit eshche riad dovodov protiv stroitel'stva BTsZ:  nado
uchityvat'. . .to, chto na zavode namechaetsia vypusk moral'no
ustarevshego produkta   viskoznogo korda, kotoryi uzhe s uspekhom
zameniaetsia kordom sinteticheskim."  I don't have the technical
references at hand to translate "viskoznyi kord" with full confidence,
but "rayon cord" would seem a safe guess (rayon is made from cellulose,
and the factory in question was the Baikal'skii Tselliuloznyi Zavod). So
if "moral'nyi iznos" is, as pointed out in Alex Ushakov's May 18
posting, "obsolescence," the reference would be to "the production of an
obsolescent product   rayon cord..."  The ironic part is that not only
was one of the planned products of the factory "moral'no ustarevshii,"
but so also, in a different sense, was the outlook of the
khoziaistvenniki who planned it.
