Russia Travel

David Tomanek's Russia Travel Page David Tomanek's Russia Travel Page This is one of the most unusual destinations I have visited so far.Below are some of the noteworthy facts you will appreciate knowing as a visitor. To a large degree unspoiled by the Communist system, Russians (and other nationals of the former Soviet Union) have kept up withtheir tradition of hospitality. While service personnel may be unfriendly, people are generally friendly, caring and helpful on a personal level. Culture in its original sense, not restricted to performingarts or architecture, and including culture of human relationships,is highly valued. It is truly a joy to get involved in a livelydiscussion with Russians about Art, Science or Politics, and feel theexcitement and deep desire to find the fundamental truth. This alonemakes an encounter with the Russian culture worth the trip. With amazing accuracy, locals spot foreigners even beforethey open their mouth. By default, foreigners are assumed to beAmericans. Ownership of a car provides drivers with a license to kill. To alesser degree, this also applies at pedestrian cross­walks,where car drivers exercise their right of way somewhat lessaggressively. The dual­pricing system, where foreigners are charged a higherrate than locals for the same service, is an outgrowth of plannedeconomy in desperate need for resources. More resources are believedto be generated using the well­established method to increase egg production by forcing chickens to lay several eggs a day, rather thanacquiring more chickens. This dual­pricing system has recently reached a new level ofabsurdity. As an example, the beautiful state Hermitage museum in St.Petersburg charges foreigners 15­20 times more than Russians. Individual tourism is efficiently suppressed by linking visarequirements to a hotel reservation. This provides hotels with aneffective monopoly on visa, and allowing for hotel rates, applied toforeigners, to be a multiple of those applied to locals. Individualtourists are often asked to pay the price of a western first­classhotel accommodation for a room without running water or toilet paper. One unusual exception from this rule is the American­founded Youth Hostel in St. Petersburg .It charges locals and visitors the same rate of US$ 19 per night perperson (as of Summer 1997) in clean rooms with few beds. Showers andtoilets are unusually clean by local hotel standards. There are noage restrictions. Most important, the hostel is run very efficientlyby an in­house travel agency that specializes in arranging visa. Thehostel/travel agency runs a server on the internet and a very useful Web site . The staff are helpful and experienced, and routinely make use oftheir in­house e­mail and fax facilities. ... back to David Tomanek's home page David Tomanek at Michigan State University tomanek@pa.msu.edu This page has been visited 1325 times.

European Vacation U.S. Front

U.S. Front Groups Take a European Vacation - Center for Media and Democracy Center for Media and Democracy Publishers of PR Watch Home Spin of the Day Dec 08, 2005 U.S. Front Groups Take a European Vacation U.S. Front Groups Take a European Vacation Topics: corporations | lobbying | global warming Source: The Independent (UK), December 8, 2005 Britain's Independent reports on a "detailed and disturbing strategy document" authored by a U.S.-based Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) official that seeks "to destroy Europe's support for the Kyoto treaty on climate change ." CEI's Chris Horner , also a senior figure in the " Cooler Heads Coalition ," is "a veteran campaigner against Kyoto." CEI has received "almost $1.5m from ExxonMobil ." Horner's plan "seeks to draw together major international companies, academics, think-tanks , commentators, journalists and lobbyists from across Europe," under the name " European Sound Climate Policy Coalition ." The coalition, Horner suggested, would be based in Brussels and have "anti-Kyoto position papers, expert spokesmen, detailed advice and networking" devoted to undermining the accord. He pitched the plan to Ford Europe, Lufthansa and German utility company RWE; the document says that Lufthansa, Exxon and Ford "have already indicated their interest." Asked by the Independent whether a U.S. lobbyist funded in part by oil companies should be targeting European companies, Horner replied, "Everybody else does." login or register to post comments | printer friendly version Home SourceWatch PR Watch Spin of the Day Books Forum Volunteer News Feeds Donate Search this site advanced search About Us The Center for Media and Democracy About PR Watch Staff Biographies Financial Supporters Privacy Policy Contact Us Navigation recent posts news aggregator syndication Syndicate more User login Username: Password: Create new account Request new password Topics activism animal rights arts/culture corporations corporate social responsibility tort reform democracy education environment agriculture mad cow disease biotechnology global warming nuclear power sludge ethics gay/lesbian health food safety human rights international labor lobbying marketing advertising guerrilla marketing media citizen journalism internet journalism pundits pharmaceuticals politics left wing right wing propaganda public relations astroturf crisis management front groups issue management public diplomacy third party technique video news releases race/ethnic issues religion rhetoric science secrecy social justice think tanks tobacco U.S. government war/peace Iraq terrorism women Weekly Spin Enter your email address to get our free weekly bulletin about spin and propaganda in the media.
