Siberia Dispatches

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

Since early August, Robert G. Kaiser, former Moscow Bureau Chief for
the Washington Post, has been travelling in Siberia and reporting
back on his experiences in different cities. I have read a couple of
the dispatches and they are generally upbeat about Siberia and
Russia.  All the dispatches (and lots of photos and interesting
websites) can be accessed from a central website at:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/siberiadiary/

There is a lot of interesting material here and it is not, unlike
much of the stuff reported in the American press,  it conveys a
balanced and often positive image of Russia.

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
