Well, it's begun!

The subscription campaign is slowly approaching. And the most impatient and responsible subscribers began to transfer money to TRV accounts. Alas, even the most “responsible” people still have the same problems. Namely, the information we receive is far from exhaustive. Complete sets of documents are the exception rather than the rule.

Moreover, as a subscription curator, I need very little. Namely: a message by email (or, at worst, a simple letter, but you rely on the efficiency and commitment of Russian Post, which, unfortunately, is fraught). The message should indicate the full name, full address (with index!), subscription period and the number of copies of the newspaper to be subscribed. That's all!

And we would very much like (but in extreme cases we can survive!) that the transferred amount corresponds to the length of the subscription period and the number of requested copies. Let me remind you, just in case, that starting next year the cost of an annual subscription is 800 rubles. Therefore, for six months - 400 rubles. You can subscribe from any time until the end of the six months or year, and the cost is calculated in proportion to the number of “subscribed” months. All this data is given on page 16 of almost every issue of the newspaper and is available on our website ( http://trv-science.ru/subscribe )

What actually happens? We must solve puzzles that our subscribers, in cooperation with banks, compile and send to us. Here are examples of the latest and fastest potential readers who have already submitted applications for 2012:

Kalyuzhnaya T.V. There is no index, first name and patronymic - one letter at a time, paid 700 rubles.

Pashinsky Vladimir Mikhailovich. Paid 1600 rubles. Is it 2 copies of the newspaper or a 2-year subscription? Or half the amount as a gift to us?

Fralova Lyubov Alexandrovna. There is no index, for some reason I paid 817 rubles. in two tranches, the house number is indicated, the apartment number is not. It happens, of course, this way, but mostly in small towns, and here - St. Petersburg...

And this is just the beginning! Three out of seven subscribers are already urging us to go to God knows where. In general, friends and colleagues! I ask you all to use email services, the fastest and most reliable mail in the world! On page 16 of the newspaper, in the relevant sections of the TrV-Nauka website, there are at least three email addresses at which your subscription will be accepted, and most importantly, securely and promptly completed.
