Siberian Diary Finished

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

The two Washington Post journalists who were travelling in Siberia
have finished their journey and today they had an internet chat with
interested readers.

The transcript of the chat and a link to the Siberia Diary can be found at

http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/01/world_siberia091001.htm

The diary is very upbeat with regard to Siberia, in particular, and
Russia, more generally, which is great news for our profession.
There are a lot of beautiful photographs.

The questions in the chat include some basic questions that will be
of interest to our students of Russian (or potential students of
Russian!)

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
