Aeroflot has become customer-oriented?

[Alexei Bogdanov]

Let's not create another myth.  I grew up in an Aeroflot family (my mom and dad worked for Aeroflot), 
flying around the Soviet Union all the time in the 70s.  There was no clapping at landing but there were
sweets all the time.   I first experienced that weird clapping at landing when I flew from Moscow to Warsaw in 1989, and the plane was Polish.

Cheers,

If anyone is nostalgic about the applause, just fly Al Italia, or for that matter, any flight filled with Italians...

An animator in Kaliningrad has taken my Ruslan 1 dialogues, texts and songs and has created high quality animations from them.  There has been a lot of interest in UK schools and colleges. "Just like the Simpsons" was the best comment. There is information at www.ruslan.co.uk/ruslancartoons.htm<http://www.ruslan.co.uk/ruslancartoons.htm>  with a link to lesson 1 on YouTube. Lessons 1-5 will be published mid November on DVD for learners and on USB with a networking licence for schools and colleges.  The DVD will be PAL in the first instance, playable in the US on PCs and multisystem players.
