Faces of Russia

[Benjamin Rifkin]

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.
