Hi,

I am going to be living in Moscow from Sep 92
through May 93.  Can anyone tell me how I might
get email access while I am over there.  I will
be studying at the Russian State Humanities University.
I may or may not have access to a laptop and modem.
I am told the University is on Peacenet.  I do not
know how to access peacenet from Bitnet, or vice
versa.  I would really like to have direct access
to Bitnet.  Any help/advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Kate

My understanding is that you can export even a '486 under a
G license that does not require you to fill out any paperwork.

As for the customs officials, I understand that each one behaves
differently, and some will definitely try to extract a bribe or "fee" from
you, and I am never clear on what the law is on this.  As of today, it's
possible that you will pay nothing or up to a 15% fee.

I need to get a box of software to some of my programmers in
St. Petersburg.  If you would take it to them I would be willing to pay the
fee that your airline charges.  Typically this enables you to take
an additional 70 lbs. of material in a single box, and you could use the
difference between what I send and 70 lbs. as you wish.  Let me know.  When
are you leaving?

Because I used other criteria - wasn't it evident? I've chosen 
two brand name representatives of absurd literature. And I can spell
correctly - look - Becc^Hkett and Iona^Hu^Hesco - is it wrong?
And I'm too lazy to check referencies for correct spelling, dates. etc. -
there is always somebody he'll do that for me - like you. If ideas are
right anybody can finish - and there are a lot of people who can't
do anything else - kinda garbage collectors (no offense intended).

>Perhaps because neither your English nor French is good enough to read
>Samuel Beckett's and Eugene Ionesco's books:-). 

Wrong. Reading English is good enough last 7 years(IMHO). 
But I don't read Becka^Het ^Ht and 
that other guy with such hard spelling - don't like them.

Wrong. BEKKET and -)OHECKO, I believe. But why you mentioned that?

BTW, as this is s.c.s - who in Russian literature were close to absurd
tradition except Gogol (whom Nabokov loved, not hated)? In modern?

Sorry I can only contribute a modicum of knowledge -- I'm only taking a
computer with me to Russia, not giving it away to them.

As of several months ago, there were still restrictions on taking a computer
with a processor more powerful than 27 (or 29?) megahertz to Russia.  I don't
know what the current status is -- after all, 27 mH isn't really that
powerful by today's standards.

If I remember correctly, the Department of Commerce was the one to call about
this -- they have some sort of export licensing office.  Good luck (and I mean
that) on your journey through the beaurocracy.

Such a jerk. Or is extreme naivete?

I believe you *shouldn't* suppose the same absence of any respect to women

I was going through my old Russian stuff and came across you note.

I have a package of Russian fonts for X and a couple keyboard maps,

Yes, it's time to sum up the results of the cultural quiz:
why for a Russian woman it is not mete to swear?

57% of the responces have cited "woman's dignity" as the sole reason
for this; I am pleased to confirm it as the correct answer. Many
other respondents have also listed this answer among their multiple
choices.

Unfortunately, I have not seen any correct answers coming in envelopes
stamped with "NOW", or "Progressive", or "Big L"; this is saddening
indeed, because it is their expert opinion I had an intention to test.
Aparently, the notion of "dignity" is awkward for them; in the treasure
boxes of their busy and perplexed selves it got stuck somewhere between
"check cashing" and "fornication".

Well, inter-cultural exchange might help them, after all.

          Can someone give me the "latest" on the logistics of taking
          a computer to Russia?  My institution (OSU) has been funded
          to give a computer to a research institute in St.
          Petersburg.  Questions:

          *****
          1. Will there be an import duty on a transfer of the
          machine's ownership to Russian hands? How much?

          2. If so, can the duty be avoided by loaning the machine
          rather than giving it away?

          3. Does our State Department still have restrictions
          about transfering PC's to Russia?  Are there any good D.O.S.
          contacts on this subject?
          ********

          I'm set to leave in a couple of weeks, so I'd like to smooth
          the road now.  Please mail me directly unless you
          believe your answer is of general interest to the list.

          Thanks;

An example of New Age Geography:

> Yaroslavl, which is associated as a sister city with my home in
> Burlington, Vermont. Yaroslavl is, I believe, in the state
> (province? principality?) of Karelia, and is not too far from Moscow.

Does it have anything to do with the old-time headline from the future
_No_New_Troubles_on_the_Finno-Chinese_Border_ ?

Does it have anything to do with a Socialist congressman from Vermont?

   I was wondering for a while why one needs to wire $$ _from_ M to U,
till I had read one local Turkish newspaper, which have enlightened me.
In its opinion, it's related to ongoing restoration of Russian monarchy
and unevitable confiscation of Jewish property in M and nearby areas.
I feel obliged to share this observation with auditory.

Please fell free to followup it to soc.culture.mutlu.
