The folks at Russian Life would of course love to be involved!

Might I suggest that a theme for each year might prove especially
useful in terms of focusing efforts and activities. For instance, this
year Chekhov, whose 150th it is, would be perfect. Or Yaroslavl (which
turns 1000) and the Golden Ring...
