Julia Tannenbaum Julia Tannenbaum is a girl from an orphanage in Siberia, adopted by an American family from New York 10 years ago. The day when Tina Traaster and Rick Tannenbaum first saw her, began joylessly. The plane on which they flew to Novosibirsk hit the snow storm. The icy alien city seemed so gray and gloomy that they would take a color photo, it would still be black and white. Then there were long corridors, strange people in gray offices, incomprehensible speech and crazy cold.

On the anniversary of the death of Joseph Stalin, the Memorial International Society, together with the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History and the Party, "Yabloko" timed the presentation of a new, supplemented publication of one of the most ominous documents of the Greater Terror. This is an electronic version of the Stalinsky shot lists. The first about these secret documents of 1937-1938 was reported by Nikita Khrushchev at the twentieth Congress of the CPSU.

Richard Lobo In November last year, the Russian Radio Liberty Service was forced to stop broadcasting on the middle waves, since in Russia the nature and order of licensing of etheric frequencies has changed. The combination of this order and the legal form in which the Radio Liberty/Free Europe Corporation currently exists was impossible. Now our programs can be listened to either on short waves or on the Internet.

The Director of the US International broadcasting Bureau Richard Lobo considers the fact that Radio Liberty and some other foreign radio stations are forced to leave the Russian broadcast, while the Voice of Russia is freely broadcasting to the United States, and the Russia Today TV channel transfers its programs on cable networks.
