Monument to Letter "Yo"

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

It's not often that a Russian city puts up a monument to a letter in
the alphabet, but Ulyanovsk has done just that.  See

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2001/10/29/003.html

This is the kind of human interest story that many students enjoy and
that's especially true of students in first-year Russian whose
efforts to master the alphabet are fresh!

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
