Hi, guys.

I have here a person, who is trying to find out an exchange rate of rouble to
dollar on Soviet Market (both official and "black" one).
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Timur

P.S. If you know, also, any addresses for places, where they could exchange
$ to roubles.

  We need to declare a war on forgeries and appeal to the
Usenet administration to trace down all these guys, once they
already started using even my name.
 I strongly suspect, though, who is doing this,
and probably will take measures myself.

Women, I am about to launch a free electronic matching service on 
Usenet.  Unfortunately, more guys than gals have expressed an 
interest so far.  If you would like to see the fourth draft of my 
questionnaire so we can alter it to also fit women's needs as well as 
men's, either send me mail or look at the copy I posted in 
alt.personals.
 
This service is serious and I already have 119 men and 86 women signed
up so far.  The site of the service has already been selected and
programmers are being lined up for the construction of the listserver.
 
I should point out that this questionnaire really, really, really, 
needs some more input on CULTURES.  I need some questions to make sure
that matches are compatible culturally.

How one can post in RELCOM newsgroups?

It's not that easy. You have to include lines Newsgropus: and
Distribution: into you header. Standard mailer can not do it.

So you may want to (applicable to UNIX only):

1. Form message you want to send. That is, send this message to
yourself, and save it. 

2. Add lines
Newsgroups: relcom.talk
Distribution: world
to header of your message, that is, before 1st blank line.

3. /usr/libexec/sendmail newsserv@kiae.su <YourFileName
remember that sendmail can be on different path,
and this path is not usually included in user's path.

This may work.

It's not so interesting what can be sent over USENET,
because RELCOM articles are sent over plain e-mail.
Moreover, I received them with 8th bit ibtact, at least at NYU.
Some sites indeed cut out 8th bit but not all.

Then you can use packing, and 8th bit will certainly be preserved.

I had experienced 5 attempted robbery attempts in St. Petersburg and
Moscow.  I would call them attempted pickpocketing and plain mugging
but somehow I only ended up losing about 30 rubles of postage stamps.
I don't know if this can be considered a high number for one individual
to experience.  These are big cities that we are talking about and not
some hole in the ground.  Big groups of americans are simply good
targets I guess.  It almost always happens to american women.  I don't
know how it could have been prevented because I wasn't there.  If I
felt I was boxed in I pushed my way out.
I guess you can say that I'm used to crime.  I don't like it but you
just have to live with the fact that it happens.  The important thing
is not to let it ruin your life.  You can replace credit cards,money
and passports.

I cannot help you to locate the movie, either, but I did see it
(in Moscow, around 1984).  Soviet production partner was Tallinn-Film,
and most of the cast were Estonian.  Of familiar names there, I
remember Kaidanovsky (Tarkovsky's Stalker) playing the good guy who
confessed to be a robot but in the end was shown testifying in court
as a human.  Although I used to be a sci-fi fan, I cannot say I was
really impressed by the movie.  I would rather see Solaris for the 4th
time.

   I just have read the soviet "IZVESTIA" paper where "official" rate  for
that particular week was $1 = 134rub.40kop.   
   $=>rub may be easily exchanged in a lot of commercial or state banks
in Moscow. It is real easy thing to do now. The list of banks with that
service is regularly being printed in "Kommersant" (for example).

I wrote "from the top of my head" and it happens that 
this is a hazy place :).

As Sergei Resnikov wrote, Olesha is not a Jew; of course, not.
He is Pole (he even learned Russian being 11 years old).

Kaverin is not from Odessa, but Petrov and Kataev (who
are brothers, actually) were born in the family of a 
baptised Jew. At least, I was told so (there are also some 
clues in "Beleet Parus Odinokii" book).

I forgot to mention literature criticist and children writer
Kornei Chukovsky (English Royal Society member), who was
born and raised in Odessa.

Misha.

I was suspecting the opposite: that Mr Markish was faked by
Greg Landsberg. Thank you for clarification.

Help!

I am trying to contact Andrey Gurianov, who distributed the St Petersburg
Business News via email some months ago.

Unfortunately I cannot find a working email address.  If he reads this, or
if anyone who knows him could pass this message on, I would be happy for him
to contact me: clear@cavebbs.welly.gen.nz .

Galina, I  would appreciate  you to learn  the correct  spelling of my last
name if you want to use it in future. I would be glad also to get your home
address so that I would be able to  forward my bills to you - I would quite
appreciate your wish to share my name with me in that case :^).

Keep smiling,

Greg
