I am totally amazed at the wide variaty of opinions people have about the Soviet Union. I just watched a TBS TV Show about Soviet TV that was quite interesting. Has anyone seen it?? It showed portions of 2 popular movies, one produced in Soviet Georgia, and another one called "Scarecrow". I'm Still tallying up all the responses, as I'm now getting responses from a number of private BBS'es as well as stuff from commercial networks like Genie. I expect to publish a summary and statistical report based in the responses I've gotten. The following person writes me, asking for copy of the Article on the Soviet Union. Does anyone know a pathway to this person?? The mail gets bounced back... >Please, I would like a copy of your original post.

Just a little progress report, I called the SF/Moscow teleport people again, asking why my service hasn't yet been set up, and they reported some computer problems. Any day now.... Also, the Soviets won't be set up yet for another 2 weeks. In the meantime, I'm collecting all the responses, and will pass those requesting information on to Moscow as soon as the Email service is set up. I also expect to make corrections and additions on the SF/Moscow teleport, for those that are interested. I am NOT affiliated with Sf/Moscow teleport in ANY way, other than just signing up for the service so I can communicate with my Moscow counterparts. I sent them copies of the article for corrections.
