tried for this rape with a testimony. He said he will kill me

A short biography - if any exists on the net - would be appreciated.

I do not worship Vysotsky (since I am not a big fan of poetry in general), I
simply acknowledge his place in Russian cultural history.

As for Rosenbaum, I dislike him (note: using a very mild expression here :-)
because of two things:

1. In 1987 he was asked something like "What's your opinion on emigration?"
His reply was "I can have only one attitude towards betraying your country".

2. His utterly disgusting songs about Afghanistan (plus appearances on TV with
Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan).

To Whom It May Concern:

Market price of vaucher (privatizatsionnyj check) climbed from 3000 rubl.
(beginning of Oct.) to 7000-8000 (b. of Nov.), that is comparable to high 
monthly salary. Taking into account this information as a background, it is
hardly to deny that vaucher can be considered as desirable tender in many
kind of everyday situations.

As for "end of the world" rumors, thay were persistent in Moscow since
Peter the Great times and perhaps earlier. Till the moment it happened 
to be slightly exaggerated, that is defenitly not a proof that it will be
the case in the future. I (as possibly other netteres) would appreciate
if the bulletin with the current probability evaluation will be periodically 
published by knowledgeable pollster.

Thank you for the prompt attention to the matter.

H-bomb design is a fictious book invented by some talented physics.
A lot of people wouldn't understand anything in this book.
Does this fact make it less dangerous? As soon as somebody read this book,
he can't be naive and H-bomb innocent.
Should I continue the analogy? It's enough to say that
you mention Chtulhu every other step (making it more and more real
for masses). "Kak slovo nashe otzovetsya..."

N-con *isn't* a toy as well as matches aren't toys for children.
(btw, it's not a book for reading).

If you want more information you may look at alt.magick -
they had N-con discussion recently (though alt.magick isn't for
N-con discussions either). Also you'd find quite an extended
method library for your famous exercises with gebrils :-)

Yeah, keep smiling, and one moonless night the nameless

That is not dead,

For in strange aeons
Even death may die.

A dragon I must ride
The gates of Hell are open

When I wrote 'soviets' I meant 'soviets'. 
There was 'Prim. perev' (translator's remark).
Maybe my translation of the remark is not quite complete.

It is not the university itself, but some people from it who are "poorly 
respected". Don't worry. The only reason people "kat'at telegu na Harvard"
is that at some point ALL the people posting from Harvard became "poorly
respected" and the idea came up that it had something to do with

No, but the film was shot on Karpaty and the screenplay
was written by the story of Western Ukrainian writer
Kotsyubinsky (remarkable author, a sort of Ukrainian counterpart
to Kuprin). The original story is good, but its
poetry has nothing to do with Paradzhanov:
he added lot of misticism to the screenplay.
Otherwise, he was quite true to original.

BTW, can someone tell the ethnicity of  
Paradzhanov, who is Armenian, born and 
raised in Georgia and worked a good part
somewhere outside of Caucasus (and never
in Armenia)? A typical example where
ethnic categories are not applicable.

It seems for me that our dear Patricia has gotten the same desease, which she
claimed every one of us has.  I mean her ideas about "Soviet spirit", which
allows nice guys and girls to use curses in s.c.s.

BTW, a couple days ago she wrote about drastic changes in X-USSR, and
now she calls it a Rat Hole (with a proper name for it).  Something is
definitely wrong with her, specially after that Kremlin hospital (which was,
eventually, Stalin's dacha).

Considering all of the above, I take a responsibility to say to you,
fellow-netmates: "SPASAITE PATRICIU!!!", or the concequences of her leaving in
Moscow (without ordinary hygiene and medical care) would be unpredictable!!!

That's what I was affraid of.  She is going to stay there and shoot at us her
miraculous experiences in that "Rat Hole" (sorry for not using that proper name
again -- "ob''americanilsia").

My suggestion is to create a fond of Patricia with "zadacha minimum" to get her
out of there or let's go for a "marsh mira" (it will be free, by the way,
because some filantropic organizations would support our movement) and deliver
her to her motherland (God bless America).
