searching for someone in FSU

[Sarah Hurst]

I always thought those online phone books were a scam, but why not try
Googling the name in Cyrillic and also try adding the place name if they
have one? Even if the relative is older and doesn't use a computer, one of
their children might have a profile on social media somewhere and an email
address. It's also worth searching on Facebook.

I am passing on a query from another list:
Assuming one is searching for possible relatives still alive in the former
USSR,
what resources are available long distance?  Is there the Russian equivalent
of
these on line "phone books" that will give you a long list of names and
ages, and
invite you to pay to get a phone number?
