Have any of you seen the movie "In the Name of Love" by Shannon O'Rourke? If
so, can you tell me if it is a good documentary on mail-order brides, and if
it would be appropriate for classroom use?

It's very good - it traces the experiences of several women of different
"profiles" who met Americans through the Svetlana Agency in Petersburg. We hear
both the women and the men talk about their motivations and about their
respective partners.  The film is balanced, since not all of the women have
happy endings, and O'Rourke also talks to a man who ran a rival marriage agency,
and who is quite the businessman (read "creep".)  All in all, it's a great movie
for showing students what the lives and frustrations of average Russian women
are like, and giving insight into what some of these women's aspirations are. 
Definitely great for classroom use.

Subject: Dictating on Dragon or otherwise
Message-ID: <WED.3.AUG.2005.111211.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

This is in response to a message, posted on July 29, about Dragon Voice Recognition and its positive effect on output. It sounds intriguing.

Since I wasn't a seelangs member at the time I didn't see the message myself. The substance of it was passed on to me by a colleague who knows I dictate my own work, not on Dragon or similar software but on microcassettes for transcription by a typist.

I would like to compare notes with the person if he/she cares to.

I'm a long-time freelance translator, mostly from Russian and Georgian, occasionally from Belorussian and Ukrainian as well. Years ago I converted from typing the material myself to dictating on tape, and it not only boosted my output greatly but proved to be much less tiring physically. For me, at least, it's a lot quicker and easier to say "bookkkeeping," "extraordinary," or "discombobulate" (for example) than to type it. Faster production and bigger earnings per time put in more than make up for the cost of the transcription.

I know two or three other translators who dictate their work, but none who use Dragon or whatever, and I'd like to hear more about your experience. I have my own ingrained habits, of course, and my splendid long-time typist (a freelancer herself) does a superb job of catching what I say. She gets my slurrings exactly right 99.99 percent of the time. I spend about 85 percent of my work time dictating, the other 15 percent on final editing. Could I benefit from Dragon? Have to think about that.

There is also the film "Two Brothers and a Bride" (2003), which is not a
documentary, but it is based on the work of a real dating agency, and it's
about two hick American farmers who go to St. Petersburg to find a wife
(they need at least one to do the cooking and cleaning). All the women are
color-coded based on their standard of English. I recommend it, it's fun.

I ordered the new edition of =F7 =D0=D5=D4=C9, and there have been substant=

It also had  very good, concise lists (like verbs that share conjugational patterns, irregular nouns, etc.) and excellent grammar exercises - elements that I have continued to use while teaching Welcome Back.

Subject: Follow-up on Dragon and other dictating
Message-ID: <THU.4.AUG.2005.121340.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I have been informed that last week's "posting" that I responded to in my own posting yesterday (Aug 3), regarding the benefits or drawbacks of using the Dragon voice recognition system for dictation, did not in fact appear in seelangs but in a different online language-and-translation-oriented subscription venue.

No harm done, I suppose.

What's gratifying is that as a result, one seelangs subscriber has emailed me directly to share Dragon experiences (negative). I don't use Dragon myself and don't foresee doing so - I dictate translation on tape for a typist to transcribe. Works great, boosts output, physically much more comfortable than inputting the material myself (no carpal tunnel woes).

That said, I would like to hear from any other translators among seelangs subscribers who dictate their work, Dragon or otherwise. It's always useful and fun to compare notes.

  it's a rather good documentary - tries to show that their are some 
succcessful couples, not just the usual portraits of girls desperate to 
leave and callous American men looking for a pretty Russian female. 
O'Rourke put a lot of work into the film, shot hours of film on the 
couples (she interviewed me for the documentary on my work on R-A 
marriages and on my book "Wedded Strangers: The Challenges of 
Russian-American Marriages," and I found the results quite successful. 
There is not all that much Russian spoken in the film, but it would 
provide good background for students.

Sarah Hurst's answer is correct, but the southern (left) river of nearby
Vistula belonged to Austrian Galicia, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire was
very near to Gombrowicz's birthplace Maloszyce in the Radomskaja
gubernija, Polish Kingdom, Russian Empire. In World War I, Gombrowicz
saw as a little boy the dead soldiers after Russian-Austrian battles.

understanding of trafficking in human beings and development challenges in
the CIS region, in order to develop effective preventive strategies. A core
team of region-based specialists, with expertise in poverty, human
development and economic migration conducted a literature review and

Dear Colleagues,
 
I'm going to be in Moscow later in the month, and I'd like to hear from
colleagues who have been there this summer about how you have handled
money matters.  Have you brought cash that you changed at exchanges into
roubles, or have you used bank machines?  If the latter, which ones do
you especially recommend?
 
Thanks,

We are still in need of a discussant for our panel, "Theoretical Approaches
to Russian Politics and Identity," which is from 8-10AM, Sunday, November 6,
at AAASS in Salt Lake City.  The panel has two papers using Bakhtin and one
paper using queer theory as their theoretical bases.  It's a promising
session, and a discussant would be much appreciated.  Changes and additions
to the program can be made until August 15; if you are interested, please
reply to me off-list before then with your name, address, and short cv.
Thanks.

I'm a non-native speaker of Slovak (lived there 6 years) and can probably be 
an example of a superior-level speaker -- or close to it. (I've done the 
ACTFL seminar for Russian under Ben Rifkin, but didn't have time to complete 
qualification.) You can reach me about 11 AM Saturday (but I have a rather 
tight schedule that day).

Sorry to take so long to respond.

The Russian National Library in St. Petersburg has masses of stuff online. English version is at http://www.nlr.ru:8101/eng/line/index.html

The postcards of St. Petersburg in particular are excellent. Not sure what the copyright situation is, though, but I'm sure the library will tell you.

Dear Michael,

Thank you so much for "stepping up" with the dialogue about 
Intermediate textbooks. I have just received my copies of the new 
edition of V puti, and am setting down to redo the syllabus.

I would be very grateful if you would send me a copy of your review, 
and will be glad to be part of the continuing dialogue.

Dear Carol,
Good to hear from you, but I am mystified by the content of your grateful 
note. I'm currently writing Bulgarian learning materials for 
English-speakers, but since editing the Blackwell's big Russian Grammar by 
Terry Wade, have not produced any Russian materials. Are you confusing me 
with another Michael?
Best wishes,
Michael Holman

Does anyone have digitized audio recordings for the textbook Troika that

  Dear Colleagues,

I am trying to locate the following piece by Mayakovsky: "Vystuplenie  
na pervom vechere 'Chistka sovremennoi poezii,' ianvaria 1922."  In  
her book on Akhmatova, Amanda Haight cites it as appearing in volume  
II of the PSS, published in Moscow in 1959.   I have scoured our PSS  
and have not been able to find it anywhere.

Does anyone out there know if it appears, perhaps, under a different  
title that I missed entirely?

Any insight would be very welcome!

Many thanks,

Janneke

 for example:
Mandelshtam
За гремучую доблесть грядущих веков...
For the thundering valor of ages to come...


За гремучую доблесть грядущих веков,
За высокое племя людей
Я лишился и чаши на пире отцов,
И веселья, и чести своей.

Мне на плечи кидается век-волкодав,
Но не волк я по крови своей,
Запихай меня лучше, как шапку, в рукав
Жаркой шубы сибирских степей.

Чтоб не видеть ни труса, ни хлипкой грязцы,
Ни кровавых кровей в колесе,
Чтоб сияли всю ночь голубые песцы
Мне в своей первобытной красе,

Уведи меня в ночь, где течет Енисей
И сосна до звезды достает,
Потому что не волк я по крови своей
И меня только равный убьет.

17-18 марта 1931; 1935
        

For the thundering valor of ages to come,
For the lofty tribe of humankind,-
I'm deprived of a cup at my fathers' feast,
Of happiness, and of my honor.

The age's wolfhound leaps on my neck,
But by blood I'm no wolf:
Better push me, like a hat, into the sleeve
Of a hot fur coat of the Siberian steppe...

So that I don't see cowards or thin mud,
Or bloody bones in a wheel;
So the blue foxes can shine for me
In their primeval beauty all night long.

Take me into the night, where the Yenisei flows
And the pines reach to the stars,
For by blood I'm no wolf 
And only an equal can kill me.

17-18 March 1931, completed 1935

Dear SEELANGERs,

Since everyone seems to be asking after Moscow flats, I thought I'd try
my luck as well. I already live in Moscow but my landlady is slightly
rapacious (and so are the agents!) and I'd like to move. I'm looking for
a one- or two-room flat, preferably remonted, anywhere in Moscow for
$600 or less, to rent as soon as possible for the long term. I can visit
apartments.

Thanks in advance!

Tom Hurt

Dear colleagues!
 
I am working on the project of translating the poetry of Yuri Andrukhovich into English (at least 30 pieces), and I need help making sure I don't do the work someone has already done and translate something that's already been translated. As far as I can tell, only his fiction has been translated into English - namely, novels "Perverzion" and "Recreations."
Has anyone ever encountered his poetry in English? I'll be grateful for all and any feedback to this.
Thanks,

This site contains English translations, presented side-by-side with the

Message-ID: <MON.15.AUG.2005.172534.1000.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Our apologies for any cross-postings . . .

The 5th Pacific Second Language Research Forum (PacSLRF) will be held
on July 4-6, 2006 in Brisbane, Australia.  It will be a part of LINQ
2006 ( http://www.linq06.une.edu.au/ ), a series of linguistic and
applied linguistics meetings to be held at the University of Queensland
during that month.

PacSLRF is a venue for data-based and theoretical papers on areas of
basic research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Topics include,
but are not limited to, SLA in instructed and naturalistic settings;
the effects of second language (L2) instruction on the rate and route
of L2 development; the role of individual differences (in e.g.,
aptitude, age, personality, motivation) in SLA; competing models of SLA
processes; SLA theory construction; the acquisition of L2 pragmatics;
bilingualism; the influence of cognitive variables (e.g., memory and
attention) on L2 learning and use; the assessment of L2 use and
development; and methodological issues in research into L2 acquisition.

Conference keynote speakers tentatively include David Birdsong
(University of Texas), Patricia Duff (University of British Columbia),
Rod Ellis (University of Auckland), and Bonnie Schwartz (University of
Hawaii).

PacSLRF 2006 is accepting proposals for individual papers (40 minutes)
and colloquia (2 hours and 10 minutes).  The deadline for submission is
January 15, 2006.  For full details, see the Call for Papers section of
the

PacSLRF 2006 website - http://www.emsah.uq.edu.au/pacslrf2006/

Dear all,

I am trying to clarify some issues regarding the magazine "Sovetish
heimland" (with this spelling I try to render the way it sounded to me),
that was published in Jiddish in the Soviet Union still in the 1970-s (not
sure about later). I saw it a couple of times as a child, and I think I
remember that it was in the Latin alphabet, but opened "from the back". Do I
remember it correctly?

Thanks so much for the help, 

actually, I did remember that the script had been Hebrew, but could not believe it and persuaded myself that there must have been Latin instead (Yiddish being a Germanic language). An interesting fact in connection to this: there is a 1920s poster  urging (in Belarusian) younger people to subscribe to the new komsomol newspapers, with "Юнгер арбатэр" (in Cyrillic!) among them. There must have been this tradition as well (installed between the wars).

Colleagues,
    I am forwarding a call for a Slavic specialist from one of my colleagues in
the German Studies Dept. at the University of Arizona. He is editing an
important 3-volume "Handbook of Medieval Studies" and needs someone to write
the Slavic entry.
     Please see the information below and reply off-list to Albrecht Classen at

Teresa,

As the editor of a new Handbook of Medieval Studies, which focuses primarily
on the history of research, I am looking for a specialist who could write
the entry on Slavic Studies.  All the relevant information is available at:
http://www.gened.arizona.edu/aclassen/handbook.htm.  This will become a
major reference work in my field, so I hope that there will be interest in
contributing to it.

I would also be happy to consider additional suggestions.


Regards,

Please help. I obtained a NY state teaching license in 1993 from NYU in
secondary english education. Now, I am a full-time attorney and full-time
mom trying to teach my 13-month old Russian.  I don't speak it myself.  I am
a member of NNELL, MFLA and ACTR, to name a few, with the main goal of
getting access to useful materials to help teach myself and child at the
same time.  I am looking for something similiar to the Muzzy Series but in
Russian. [http://www.early-advantage.com/] Or CDs like Baby's First Steps,
but in Russian.
[http://www.randomhouse.com/livinglanguage/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=978060
9607404] I would love to find a site like www.chinasprout.com or
www.Alphabet-Garten.com but for Russian materials.

I read the ACTR journals as they are sent.  I've read the articles about the
big push for Russian AP testing and the importance of starting Russian
language instruction as early as possible. I've also read many articles in
the news and in teaching journals about the shortage of foreign language
proficiency, at least in the United States.  And yet, there doesn't seem to
be much material (if any?) available in Russian for our young children or at
least that I've been able to find. What are teachers using for pre-K or 1-6
instruction in elementary schools?

If you know of anything, even if just the names of publishers of Russian
teaching materials, I'd be most appreciative if you could contact me with
the information. Also, I'd like to thank the handful of members who have
already contacted me.

Warmest regards,
Kari Fisher, Esq.

Kari, I can't be of any help with practical teaching materials, but we were
successful with teaching our kids a couple of languages. We did it pretty
simply. We started with Russian, very early (preschool), as the language we
used in the house. We weren't complicated about it. Kids are flexible. They
would go out the door and switch to English. When they reached junior high,
they started taking German, and we used that as our dinner table language. I
was amazed at their easy movement between languages:  Russian in the house,
German at dinner, English in the outside world.

It seems to me that you could take a class in Russian, and just take home the
rudimentary materials and matter-of-factly teach your child. The trick is to
act as if it's the way everyone functions. It's a good experiment: everybody
wins. You'll all learn something.

BTW, our autistic nephew, who is five, is very keen on odd alphabets, and a
good Russian azbuka opened a lot of doors for him.

Best wishes, Kris Groberg

Hi Kari,



The basic Russian-teaching material for little children is the (ABC) 
reader practiced in the Soviet Union and is still in use today. In 
Russian it is called "Bukvar", which means "Letter" or "a set of 
letters" or just "Letters".


But for your 13-month old baby, it is too early for now, except, 
maybe, for the ABC itself. So you can try to teach your baby Russian 
letters at this step.

Right now the most effective way of language acquisition by your baby 
(not you) is listening to Russian mucis, Russian songs, especially 
Russian cartoons (any kinds of songs and all kinds of songs); watching 
TV at a later stage. Anything that is concerned with Listening. 
Listening without being taught how to listen.

Also you could hire a maid who would spend all her time with your 
baby, taking care of your baby and talking only Russian to your baby.


If you really want your child to know Russian, you can go to Russia 
and leave him/her with a Russian kindergarden somewhere in Moscow or 
St. Petersbourg (best places) or live with your baby there  - for 
awhile.


As an English teacher myself (by education), I once had a dream to 
teach a Russian baby English in Russia, back at home. Now I am in 
Canada, translating poetry from Russian into English.

OK, good luck to you, Kari.



Sincerely,

Ivan.

Soviet editions of all books usually spelled the name and patronimic of all
names in the back, the very last page of any edition. So I looked at my own
copy and saw

As for foreign names, Library of Congress catalogue often spells out the
initials and even occasionally gives you the birth date (if there there are
two of them, for ex).

In translating a Polish text written in 1906, I find the expression 
"w Kro'lestwie Polskim i w Kraju Zachodnim". I understand that at 
that time in the Russian Empire there was a Zachodnyj kraj, which is 
presumably the same thing. What is that called in English? "The 
Kingdom of Poland and the ..."?

The "Severo-zapadnyj kraj" is here, most probably, meant, meaning Lithuania
(or, in terms of the geographical space, mostly the present day Belarus).
North-Western Territory?

Jan Zaprudnik in his "Historical Dictionary of Belarus" (The Scarecrow
Press, 1998) provides Northwestern Province for "Severo-Zapadnyi Kray". I
asked a similar question on this list about a year ago, and no alternatives
were provided. So this seems to be the only way.

Subject: Looking for advice on student Fulbright application (political
 science)
Message-ID: <WED.24.AUG.2005.170527.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGSers,

I have a student who is applying this fall for a Fulbright English Teaching 
Assistantship in Russia and is in the process of putting together her proposal for the 
component research project. (For those of you unfamiliar with this particular 
Fulbright program, the program combines a teaching assistantship of about 24 
hours/week with an independent study/ research project.)

As I am unversed in political science (her primary field of study), I was wondering 
whether somewhere out there might be willing to read her one-page proposal to 
comment on the political sensitivity and general viability of her chosen project, 
currently entitled "Politics in the Provinces: Female Participation in Russia's 
Regional Assemblies in the Putin Era". Both she and I would be MOST grateful for 
any help or advice. Please reply off-list to monniern at missouri.edu.

As a side note: for those of you unfamiliar with the Fulbright English Teaching  
Assistantship or Fulbright Community Service Grants in Russia, they're most 
certainly work checking out. There are five of each on offer for the 2005-2006 
academic year:

Subject: IM'ing in Cyrillic
Message-ID: <WED.24.AUG.2005.235933.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I wonder if SEELANGS Russian Macintosh users would mind sharing their
experiences IM'ing users in Russia or Windows users in the U.S.?
Specifically...

1.  Have Mac users successfully used Cyrillic in ICQ?

2.  Have Mac users experienced success in using non-ICQ IMing (e.g.
AIM) to others using the same IM program (but in Windows)?

3.  Have any Mac users gotten their Cyrillic to cross over to Windows
AND a different IM program (e.g. AIM => ICQ, ICQ => Yahoo, etc.) N.B.
By default configuration in Windows, AIM => ICQ Cyrillic does not
work, even though both are now owned by AOL. But AIM=>AIM works, and
ICQ => ICQ works.
Any pertinent information would be useful. I'll risk and suggest that
this might be interesting to others on the list. But off-list
communication is fine too.

Thanks,
Rich Robin

Dear Colleagues:

I am posting the following press release about "The Russian Chronicles – 
Ten Years Later" because this real-time travel blog, hosted by the 
Washingtonpost.com starting Sept. 1, could be a useful site for any Russian 
studies courses being taught this semester and also of general interest to 
subscribers of this listserv.  The 1995 "Russian Chronicles" provided 
wonderful vignettes into personal lives of ordinary Russians, and this 
follow-up ten years later should provide fascinating insights into how 
Russia has changed over the last ten years.  (For the sake of full 
disclosure, the writer Lisa Dickey is a close friend.  I hosted her and the 
photographer in 1995 when I was doing research in Irkutsk.)

============================

The Russian Chronicles – Ten Years Later

Between Sept. 1 - Nov. 22, you can follow writer Lisa Dickey and 
photographer David Hillegas as they journey across the whole of Russia, 
posting a daily blog about their adventures at 
www.washingtonpost.com/russianchronicles.

The Russian Chronicles – Ten Years Later reprises a trip Dickey took in 
1995, when she traveled from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg, stopping in 11 
different cities to do  “Road Stories” about the Russians she met along the 
way <http://russianchronicles.com/rc95/Russia/>. This time around, Dickey 
and Hillegas will try to track down those same people she wrote about in 
1995, to find out how they’re faring now – and more broadly, how Russia has 
changed over the past ten years.

You can find the daily blog, live online discussions and message boards at 
www.washingtonpost.com/russianchronicles.

In-Reply-To: <6.2.0.14.2.20050825094626.03b83050@express.cites.uiuc.edu>
Message-ID: <THU.25.AUG.2005.124430.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I just finished reading "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz, about his escape
from a Soviet camp to India, and I wondered if anyone could shed light on
its veracity. It doesn't seem all that plausible that he would survive
months of torture and interrogation, walk through the Gobi desert without
any food or water, and finish up by seeing a couple of yetis frolicking
around in the Himalayas!

According to an obituary in the Guardian his account was real enough, but
one Amazon reviewer claims the book was discredited in the '50s. 

Did any of Rawicz's colleagues on the long walk ever surface to corroborate
the story?

I'd be curious to find out more.

Thanks,

Sarah Hurst

Janneke!

Of course, the Russian poslovitsa you quote is only remotely similar in
meaning to the English. The English saying means that eloquence and
reason will accomplish what brute force cannot (the pen as a synecdoche
for all verbal activity). At least as I understand it, and looking
through a few dozen Google examples, the Russian is more a warning and
very narrow in meaning - written words and contracts are indelible and
nothing can undo them, so be careful what you write or sign.

Best,

I second it.
The Russian proverb has nothing to do with weapon.
Its meaning is that what is written will stay forever.
A similar but more general proverb is related to anything said:
"Slovo - ne vorobej, vyletit - ne pojmaesh'."

I would appreciate all recommendations on the young (born after WWII)
popular poets in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Slovakia and the Czech republic who
have been published in their countries preferably with their first books
in the 90s or later, as well as on their specific poems that might be of
interest to those who love poetry. I would also like to know whether they
have been translated into English, and, if so, then who did it. Do you
know any of their poems not translated yet into English that you would
like to see translated, and why would you recommend them?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the reason there really is no exact equivalent is that in Russian 
experience the pen is NOT
mightier than the sword.  Words are golden, and remember Pushkin's quatrain 
about gold and steel.
There are other proverbs in English that assert the supremacy of something 
else over force.  Is there a Russian
equivalent to "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world"?  On second 
thought, I guess that that does not subvert the
sword...

We are putting together a small booklet of tributes to/reminiscences of
Robert Maguire to have on hand the day of his memorial service (Sept. 15).
If any of you who worked with him (or simply knew and cared for him) have 
anything
to contribute that you think should be known and remembered about him, 
please send
 me a few lines by Sept. 2.

Thank you.
The details of the service are repeated below.

There will be a memorial service for Robert Maguire in New York on 
Thursday, September 15, 2005, beginning with a requiem mass at the Church 
of Notre Dame (Morningside Drive and W. 114th St.) at 9:45 a.m., followed 
by a service at St. Paul's Chapel (on the Columbia Campus) at 11:00 a.m. 
The Slavic Department and the Harriman Institute will be hosting an 
informal gathering afterward.  I hope that the many of you who have written 
to express your sadness and to inquire about a memorial will be able to 
attend.

Subject: article on Moscow in today's NYT Travel section
Message-ID: <SUN.28.AUG.2005.155805.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

The _Times_ today ran an article that should be posted on the board at every Study Abroad office where there's a Moscow program:

http://travel2.nytimes.com/2005/08/28/travel/28moscow.html?n=Top%2FFeatures%2FTravel%2FDestinations%2FEurope%2FRussia%2FMoscow&pagewanted=all

(I've pasted the text below my sig.)

Most of the destinations listed likely aren't within a student's budget, though study abroad and the students who participate have changed substantially in the past ten years. 

Still, the article's representation of Moscow is light years away from the Moscow of the 90s and before. Have the words "sexy," "stylish" and "thriving" ever been used in an article on street life and club scene in Russia?

Maybe our study abroad offices can market Russia as a posh and hep place for nineteen-year-old Paris Hilton wannabes to simper the summer away. 

Maybe.

In Moscow, the Old Party Is Gone and a New One Beckons
By FINN-OLAF JONES

ENTER into the cavernous nightclub where three middle-aged men are playing industrial music on homemade electric instruments while young men in black and young women with bared midriffs gyrate on the dance floor. It's an eccentric, sexy scene, made even more discombobulating by the giant cut-glass chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the stately rows of columns along two sides of the room.

If the place looks vaguely familiar, it's because this is the infamous Hall of Columns, scene of the grim Moscow show trials. While watching the city's youth throbbing in unison in this once-sinister place you can't help noting that this is definitely not the gray Moscow of Leonid I. Brezhnev and countless other stone-faced Russian leaders.

"The younger generation understands they lost their roots," said Andre Drykin, a make-up artist who recently returned to his homeland from Miami. "They don't want to be like their parents," he added, downing a cappuccino on the steel-and-glass roof terrace of the modish Ararat Park Hyatt next to the Bolshoi Theater. "They want to build a new culture."

Walking the streets of Moscow, one cannot help but notice all the fashionable clothes and a preponderance of low-cut pants, pierced navels and a general sense of overt sensuality that seems incongruous among the city's stark monuments and buildings. On a warm morning earlier this summer, office workers in outfits by the local designer Denis Simachev, Versace suits and short skirts were pouring from the Metro into a large office building. The building they were filing into was the old K.G.B. building on Lubyanka Square - still the center of state security services and one of the most forbidding places in Russia.

"I remember when Tverskaya was dark," said Carrie Barich-Hart, a transplanted Minnesotan who has lived in Moscow since 1992, referring to Moscow's main boulevard, "when there were no restaurants except for a few hotels. In the last three or four years Moscow really started coming alive again."

Mrs. Barich-Hart, an entrepreneur, was strolling around her neighborhood at Patriarchs Pond, an ancient poplar-shaded pool the size of two football fields where Tolstoy used to skate. The pond, immortalized in the opening scene of Mikhail Bulgakov's satirical novel, "The Master and Margarita," is the center of a revitalized neighborhood a mile northwest of the Kremlin where expatriates and young families reside amid a smattering of cozy restaurants and music cafes.

In Cafe Pavilion, a restaurant housed in a yellow neo-Classical building overlooking the pond, stylish Muscovites were indulging in fusion cuisine and sushi, which is now almost mandatory in fashionable Moscow restaurants.

Forget about the old complaints about the food in Russia. Moscow brims with excellent, if somewhat pricey, restaurants.

Mrs. Barich-Hart and her husband are part owners of Moscow's much-praised French restaurant, Carré Blanc, where President Vladimir V. Putin held a New Years Eve party. On side streets off Tverskaya, diners can wade through fleets of parked Mercedes, Bentleys and brightly colored Hummers to the hot restaurants-of-the-moment, notably Vogue Cafe and Galereya. Both these spots are D.J.-soundtracked restaurant-as-theater spectacles of bankers, models, stars, molls and hangers-on nibbling $30 salads and coolly ogling each other.

"Right now Moscow is younger and wilder than ever," said Mrs. Barich-Hart. "It's as if the whole city just turned 21."

Of course, one can still easily find the grim, shabby Moscow of the Soviet era - especially in the overcrowded housing developments and the elderly people begging in the Metro. The startling gulf between the city's super-rich and everyone else is still there, but whereas only a decade ago Moscow's boulevards were open roadways for lone Ladas and the occasional Mercedes and Zil limousines, the city's current daily bumper-to-bumper congestion of Japanese and Korean cars signals the emergence of a thriving middle class. Despite significant burdens of terrorism and social and economic instability, Moscow seems to savor its new role as one of those few places, most notably New York and London, where wealth and creative talent will accumulate no matter what the state of the rest of the country.

In fact, it could be argued that domestic turmoil and newly minted wealth has stimulated a great surge of creativity and a strong market for that creativity in Moscow. One only has to look up at the sky to see why.

Moscow's skyline is currently a forest of construction cranes and new office and apartment buildings. The results are mixed. For instance, in the northern suburb of Sokol, a garish pseudo-Stalinist skyscraper, called "Triumph Palace" is nearing completion. The buildings indeed a triumph of pure irony, given that this massive neo-Communist wedding cake (Europe's tallest building, at 866 feet) will have some 966 apartments for Moscow's new capitalists.

That's a lot of empty walls to fill.

"No one thought about the art market until five years ago," says Vladimir Ovcharenko, the affable and black-leather-clad owner of Gallery Regina on the fourth floor of a dingy building on the northern end of Tverskaya (22, 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya). "Now it's serious. The new Russians have so much space in their new condos and mansions that they need something to go with their Philippe Starck furniture."

Founded in the Gorbachev era, Regina was one of the first galleries to deal in what was then discredited Soviet Realistic artwork - paintings that showed happy steelworkers and waving Lenins - that now sells for the tens of thousands of dollars. Since then, the gallery has played a leading role in discovering and selling the works of new artists.

Standing in the hallway of the gallery, designed to resemble a typical boarding house for a collective farm, two young Ukrainian artists, Zhanna Kadyrova and Olesya Khomenko, are smoking furiously as they prepare for their opening later in the week. "In Kiev, a lot of people want to go and exhibit in Berlin, but I wanted to exhibit in Moscow" said Ms. Khomenko. "There's more openness to experimentation here."

Down one floor on the grungy staircase is the equally pioneering Gallery Aidan, started by the painter Aidan Salakhova.

"Aidan had been living in New York for 13 years and when things liberalized here, she came back and invited her friends to exhibit," the gallery's manager, Anna Gershberg, said. "We started the gallery in 1992. But things have really picked up. We're going to be moving to a new space later this year."

The tiny 700-square-foot gallery, which specializes in conceptual and "Russian Classicist" works, featured a broad range of odd and provocative pieces, like a light box featuring the Koran rolled up like a Torah with letters that form forbidden human figures. One of the gallery's artists, Liza Berezovskaya, recently exhibited an installation featuring a neon light on the wall that spelled, in Russian, "Fear." The piece was bound to raise an eyebrow or two given that Ms. Berezovskaya is the daughter of Boris A. Berezovsky, the exiled billionaire oligarch.

"It's like New York, even the ultrawealthy like to slum it in bohemia." said Igor Vishnyakov, himself a scion of a prominent diplomatic family. Mr. Vishnyakov, who recently returned to Moscow after a stint as a photographer in New York, was talking with three young Russian artists around the private bar of RuArts (1st Zachatievskiy Pereulok), a new five-floor gallery in the exclusive Ostozhenka or "Golden Mile" district near the Pushkin Museum.

When asked to recommend a fun nightspot, Mr. Vishnyakov volunteers a couple of local places without names, like the one near the Galereya restaurant that is referred to by its street address: 30/7 Petrovka. On a recent visit, it certainly did look like cool Moscow, but it was hard to tell as an attractive crowd had shoehorned itself into the place, making it impossible to dance and hard to converse. Everyone seemed to make do with eye contact, wiggling and lots of drinking.

We went on to First, a spacious all-night club on the quay across the river from the Kremlin where a mix of older bankers, young celebs, models and Russian preppies canoodled in well-upholstered lounges around the dance floor, bringing to mind a Studio 54 reborn on the banks of the Moscow River. D.J.'s mixed Russian and American hip-hop, jazz, industrial and world music. By 4 a.m., the place was in full swing; people danced wildly to a mélange of samplings that, like Moscow itself, seemed vibrant, loud, experimental and yes, very cool.

WHERE TO EAT

Carré Blanc, 19/2 Seleznyovskaya Ul., www.carreblanc.ru, (7-095) 258-4403. In summer, the terrace at this elegant French restaurant is a delightful spot to nibble dishes like lamb with goat cheese for $26, or marinated foie gras for $52, under giant white umbrellas.

Galereya, 27 Ul. Petrovka (7-095) 937-4544, an over-the-top stylish creation by Moscow's restaurant king, Arkady Novikov, features excellent Russian and European dishes, too-loud disco music and great ogling in its chic, beige and brown interior.

The Rossiya, Varvarka ulitsa, 6, www.hotel-russia.ru, (7-095) 232-5200 is a hulking Soviet-era eyesore but its comfortable, renovated double rooms with breathtaking views over Red Square are fantastic bargains at $169 double occupancy with tax.

The Hotel National, 15/1, bld. 1 ul. Mokhovaya, www.national.ru/english, (7-095) 258-7000. After extensive renovations, this Art Nouveau masterpiece across the street from Red Square reclaims its pre-Revolutionary mantle as the most elegant hotel in town. Published prices for doubles, including breakfast and tax, start at $437.

 I am looking for a good and preferably not expensive editor/proofreader for 
a 35-page article I am submitting to "Russian Review"( In English). A 
professional editor will be great but I think that a graduate student with a 
good English proficiency and feel of style in English and probably Russian ( 
there are a few poetic translations in the article) will work too. Let me 
know if you know anyone who is interested, please.

Dear Marina,

I have a very smart grad student (ABD) in Russian history here at Brandeis
who tells me she might be interested.  She has worked on my payroll, and is
extremely dependable.  English is her native tongue, but her Russian is very
good--she just returned from a year in Russia.  Her name is Marlyn Miller.
If you are still interested, you can contact her at: mmiller at brandeis.edu.

Best regards,

Subject: Russian Studies and Research Projects in Tver, Russia
Message-ID: <WED.31.AUG.2005.192642.0400.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGers,

I hope this information might be useful for your students, colleagues or anybody interested in studying, travelling or living in Russia. I will be grateful to you if you could share it with those interested. 

Language Center Delta Intercontact in Tver, Russia, announces the beginning of enrollment for the Winter Program of Russian Language and Culture, as well as ongoing registration for the Year-Round Individual Courses and Research Projects.  

 

The Winter Program will run from January 3 through February 26, 2006. Students may choose to attend the entire program or come for as little as two weeks.  We welcome participants at all language levels and from all educational and professional backgrounds.

 

The Winter Program combines four hours of Russian language instruction daily with regular afternoon sessions on Russian history, literature, and area studies. Homestays and an extensive cultural and excursion program round out the immersion experience.

 

We are willing to tailor our program to your specific needs and requirements. Delta Intercontact employs a team of experienced instructors and professors who are experts in teaching Russian as a foreign language at all levels. Our friendly support staff will make your stay in Russia as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.   

 

Upon completion of the program all students will receive our certificates. However, students may choose to request a diploma signed, sealed and sent to their University by the Tver State University. This will allow them to receive credits at their home Universities.  

 

The Individual Courses run all year round. You can choose to come study for only two academic hours a week or for as many as 40 academic hours weekly of intensive course. We are very flexible in arranging each program.  

 

Apart from Russian classes we organize internships and individual research projects supervised by our professors.  

 

References are available upon request. 

 

Please contact me at office at delta-ic.net if you have any questions. 

 

I would be happy to send you more information and correspond with you further about any of our programs. You may also wish to explore our web site at www.delta-ic.net. 

 

Thank you for your time and attention,

The correct words are "gondurasets" and "gonduraska" for male and female
correspondingly.
