images of Russia

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I am going to be giving a talk to high school students and their
teachers about why it's important to study Russia.  I'd like to spice
up my talk with some images of Russia today, images that show the
vitality and excitement of the culture, not just the architectural
landmarks or historic cathedrals.

If you know of websites with images depicting the vitality of modern
Russian culture (nightlife, economy) or the hospitality or
friendliness of Russian culture, please send me the URLs off line. I
will post a summary to the list in a week or so so that others may
use these resources in similar efforts.

Thank you.

- Ben Rifkin
