Dear Colleagues,

Professor Stephen Velychenko (University of Toronto) is compiling a
collection of
Russian-language letters and reports from eastern Ukraine that
illustrate
how local authorities  blackmailed and intimated people there to vote
for and "support" PM Viktor  Yanukovych, the government's candidate,
in the recent election. Some of the pressure tactics involved primary
school
teachers embarrassing children in front of other children.

These letters will be forwarded to European and American commentators,
analysts and journalists.

Anyone  willing to help translate the letters, on a volunteer basis, is
asked to
please contact me, the translation coordinator, as soon as possible.
There are
approximately 60 letters. Each item averages 2 pages in length.  If we
get twenty
volunteers, each volunteer would be responsible for no more than 3
letters.

If you are willing to help out, please send me your commitment to me by
November
30.  Kindly copy your response to Professor Velychenko:
<velyche at chass.utoronto.ca>

Thank you kindly.

Natalia Pylypiuk
