Russian communities in the Midwest

[Kristina Efimenko]

I don't know exactly where some Russian communities are, except there is one
somewhere around an Russian (Greek) Orthodox Church near Pacific Grove,
California. I've heard that there is a river up in northern California called
the "Russian River" and that there is a community of Russian people up there.
Also, in Vermont near Middlebury College there is a Russian community. And by
the way, you should not think of Brighton beach as Russian, but as Jewish -
people speaking a mixture of broken Russian, Ukrianian, Yiddish, and English
( See Natasha Lvovich's book called the Multilingual Self. very interesting
and thought-provoking ideas.)   In Utah, there are many Ukrainian Babtists
(by the way) - newly immigrated after 1989. I know you were asking about
Midwest, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

from, Kristina
