Lived and worked in Moscow for calendar year of '90 and commuted regularly on a project there between mid 87 and end '91.

Found the Muscovites great folk - good humoured and always up for fun.

A lot of bad press since the end of Glasnost & Perestroika regarding the mafia - but probably no worse than other countries I know!

Agree with Pete - if after a week or so there is no response from our friends then it's probably not worth it.

Bit like walking into a pub in Wales where everyone stops and speaks Welsh as a stranger enters.
I think there is enough foreign language already in the Current Affairs and the Health section :?

I agree with you 100%

Must admit Admin that it would be interesting to know how the hits from within Thailand split up to which areas/provinces or which cities, other than HH obviously, they are all coming from.

Now that would be some interesting demographics.

Can, or 'will', you do that, possible?

Due to the lack of response from any Ruskis I'd be inclined to think those figures are spam bots or something similar since Russia is responsible for the most spam on the planet (closely followed by India and China). The 'hits' and page view figures don't correlate.

Sf, as far as I know the current stats system cannot do provincial breakdowns.
