Chocolate

[Katherine Lahti]

Dear SEELANGS people,

As you can see my colleague in International Studies is soliciting ideas
for sources on chocolate in Russia. They can be in any field: literature
and the arts (both original pieces and studies of), studies in the fields
of economics, polticial science, cultural studies (naturally), and all the
rest.

It would probably be best for you to send your ideas directly to him:
Michael Niemann <michael.niemann at mail.trincoll.edu>

The only thing I can suggest to him is the history of the Krasnyj Oktjabr'
factory in Moscow. If anyone can direct me (or him) to such a history (in
English), that would be great. I  know a Soviet documentary was made of the
factory. Any ideas on where that might be?

I'm going to Moscow in June and may be able to a little work on this then.

Best regards,
Katherine
