searching for someone in FSU

[Barry P. Scherr]

You can try this:

http://durix.ru

It searches by cities in Russia, and by major cities in Ukraine and some other parts of the FSU (there is an "all Ukraine" option as well).  It returns name, age, birth date and partial street address; one needs to pay to get the phone number and full address.  The problem is that the process of getting access to the full information begins with sending an SMS, and the countries listed with the needed SMS text for each country do not include the U.S. (they do include much of Europe, Israel and Australia).
