20. Give the project geographical coverage
    All centers of public access are located in the central part of the city. The geography of organizations � project participants is more various, they are scattered in all areas, as dial-up connection within the limits of cities is conditionally free-of-charge. The most distant point of dial-up connection is the administration of Zelenodolsk city, which is 45 kilometers from Kazan. However, it is necessary to mention the volunteers, working in interactive systems through the Internet and publishing information, concerning their activities on the � Kazan Civic Networking � site.
21. Tell please about the efforts to reach smaller villages/communities outside the population areas.
    The first step in this direction was made in the city of Zelenodolsk , which is the nearest city to Kazan. Further progress in this given direction is planned.

    Radiotelephony and radiomodems use is also a viable prospect , because it would not cause problems of a territorial nature.

23. Such conception as "human impact" is the key one for RCNP project. The important part of RCNP is the participation in the life of city, regional organizations, citizens and this participation should lead to positive changes. We would like to hear one or more such human-interest stories. Please tell the story about people who have benefited from the project.

Three years ago, a site concerning Tatarstan was developed. Its pages are devoted to the history and cultural life of the Tatarstan Republic.
(http://www.intechbank.ru/tatarstan/).

� Russian Civil Network � has taken the liberty of including this site in its database, and it is referenced.

An American linguist, educator and poet, William J. Nolan, having read this site referred to other sites concerning Tatarstan. He became deeply interested in discovering, just where in the Russia Federation, the Tatar people were concentrated. He was fascinated with the unusual buildings, which incorporate both Western and Eastern cultures, and with its people, mingling Eastern and European traditions, which imposes a unique print of heritage on the character, appearance and mannerisms of some the earth�s people.

A correspondence was initiated. Mister Nolan was invited to Kazan. He liked our city and its people so much during his first visit, that he returned for a second visit., promising in his third visit to stay and teach in one of Kazan�s universities. Undoubtedly, it will be benefit our students,; by expanding a knowledge of the English language. This American teacher considers �the Russian and Tatar people� as the nation�s greatest natural resource and treasure.
