I just stumbled across your excellent article "Russian Women: Myths and Reality" and I wanted to say Thank You for such an honest and insightful piece of writing! It's so helpful to read an honest and objective opinion. Clearly you have thought about these relationships a lot -- after all you live in one yourself -- and I'm impressed with the clarity of your insight and by the way you very honestly explain all the myths, and do not try to reduce your opinions to simple or easy explanations. Thank you!

Elena, you have made this whole experience quite enjoyable and actually much easier than I had thought it would be to correspond with and hopefully meet the love of my life. No price is too much to pay for the help you have given me. THANK YOU!!
The city of Omsk, on the banks of the Irtysh and 0m rivers, is beautiful and sweeping in a Siberian manner.
A beautiful site was chosen for the new fortress by Peter the Great's guardsman Ivan Buchholz;
when in spring of 1716 he and his detachment made a landing on the shore of the Irtysh, at the place where
this powerful Siberian river takes the quiet 0m river into its broad riverbed. According to the edict of the Tsar Peter
the Great and his deputy in Siberia, Prince Gagarin, pioneers erected fortification here to guard the southern Russian borders.
Thus, was founded the town of Omsk, which in our day has become the largest industrial and cultural center in Siberia.
The Alexeevskaya Chapel
The city cherishes its past. The architects and antiquity lovers restored the Serafimo-Alexeevskaya Chapel,
which even now is surrounded by numerous legends. One of the legends says that the Chapel was built in 1908 to commemorate
the birth of the Cesarevitch Alexei. Another tells that it was built to memorialize the soldiers killed in Russia's war
with Japan. The chapel was torn down in the 1920s and was rebuilt brick by brick as a project under the supervision of the artist V. Desyatov.
The history of Omsk lives not only in the streets of the city, it lives in the museums, in the inspirational works of
Omsk artists, actors and historians.
The Omsk museum of local lore, history and economy is the oldest in Siberia.
It was founded in 1878 by the famous Siberian scientists, explorers and public figures: M. Pevtsov, G. Potanin, N. Yadrintsev, and I. Slovtsov.
