I had someone with a name in Russian email me 3 photos, to the email address on my Dobrinka web site. The message only said "Dobrinka today". The photos are here, on the bottom of the page: http://dobrinka.org/today.html I've never been to Dobrinka so I have no clue whether these are authentic, or not. Is the lake on the Volga behind the dam this wide at Dobrinka? I don't see the church that Ed Hoak talked about in this trip report there from May 2001. Comments please, from anyone that has been to Dobrinka, or to villages in the southern part of what used to be Saratov Province. Gary Martens Dobrinka VC
