This is a message from a Russian relative of mine in Moscow, his English
is not great, but his message is strong and real. Perhaps futureworkers
could offer him and his compatriots some advice?
He works in computers.

Hi Melanie!
That is a shot last events review.
Here is crises and I was involved now more and more. As a sketch of Moscow
life. Yesterday I receive information? that on Monday (today), it will
changes prices on gasoline ( a government did not said any word, information
travels from people to people). So about all people with a car were very
active and buy a gas yesterday. I do so.
Yesterday it was announced as a Moscow city Day. And it was many shows. I
was surprised, when I saw a man which fly along a street on a jet (10-20 m
high 100-200m long, 30 -50 seconds). That was a pity that I did not take my
video. All this show was not intrusting to many peoples, because the crises.
Now ruble drop 3 times, prices increase 2 times etc. The only how it concern
me, it seams I lose some money in Latvia (it was a money of my company) and
I have a preliminary information, that the bank is bankrupt. I do something
to save the money, but I am not sure I had a time.
As a result of all this events I became more active. I begin to realize some
of my parents and do the new. Also, it seams that may be year it would be
better out of Russia. Here may be something like Revolution and for that I
want be ready.
My wife get her vacation in Slovenia now. She bought this tour before a
crises and I am sure she is near TV all her vacation.
At this crises I saw. that it is really you do something very intrusting in
crises. That is in Russians history like a red line.
Because all my money are in $ in this situation I even have some indirect
profit (prices can not rise as quick as $). Now I am waiting events in
Duma. That is not such a simple situation as newspapers said, but we'll wait
the result.
That is about all (all interesting what happens here).
Best regards,
Alexander
