To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else. - Emily Dickinson

The soul that is within me no man can degrade. I am not the one that is being degraded on account of this treatment, but those who are infliciting it upon me. - Frederick Douglass


We invite our friends to publish information on "life" in our countries. This can be anything from how we celebrate holidays, spend time with family and friends, etc. Andrey and Masha Sebrant, from Moscow, are providing a monthly series on life in their family and community and Skip Evans is writing about his life in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. We are so hopeful that others will do the same!

  • Andrey and Masha Sebrant's Moscow Life

    Andrey and Masha maintain the "Moscow Life" section which provides a monthly series on life with their family and community. If any one section can be considered the real heart of Friends and Partners, this is it!

  • Skip Evans' "Our Town" *

    Developed and maintained by Skip Evans of F&P's "Atlanta Life", "Our Towns" is where people living in various cities in the former USSR and its satellites can contribute stories and pictures about life in their home or adopted towns.

  • Please let us know of additional resources.

    NaukaNet and the Next Network

     

     

    The "next generation Internet" is coming and promises a much richer communications media. F&P is working with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) of the University of Illinois and with colleagues at the Kurchatov Institute, Russian Institute for Public Networking, the Joint Supercomputing Center and the Russian Academy of Science - to establish a high speed (155M) Internet service between Russian and U.S. scientific communities. The grant is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Ministry for Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. Please read more about the NaukaNet project at the NaukaNet WWW site.
