Hi all, I am so sorry not to have done some research for the list before now. The list is new as of January, so there are not very many archived records. As listowner, I generally like to do some websurfing and provide the list with as many good web links as possible. However, I have been held up on a few other pieces of business. I am now looking at a 5 day vacation, so I started today, gathering what I could find on the web concerning Russia. There is alot to look at. I also do Polish research, and have alot of Polish resources, which are many times also Russian. This list will be my top priority this weekend. So I will start by listing the websites I have found. Hope you find these useful.
