Paul Voytinsky
aka "Uncle Pasha"He has a particular responsibility for business services (translations, interpreting, information searches and the like), English teaching, and especially immigration interview preparation.
Lest he forget his humble origins he is made to put on a driver's cap and go to the airport to meet brave souls who dare to come to this land of snow and vodka. Yes, for a small extra contribution to our cause (www.rural-russia.narod.ru) he'll personally stand there in a smoke-filled mafia-infested arrivals hall with a sign bearing your good name on it.
He fills gaps in work by developing this site. Do you like the feel of it? Are you impressed with its visibility? For a modest fee he can slap together and maintain one for you.
Oh, our countryside projects (see Staritsa, Dacha, Horses, Moscow to St. Petersburg for instance) are also mostly his department. Or was till recently.
When overcome intense dislike for humanity, which happens with increasing frequency as the world continues its downward course, he works on the Misery Tourism theme. From the business perspective, Misery tourisim is a stouter version of the Reality Tourism travel concept. He also hopes that one day bored humanity will appreciate this twist and bestow glory and especially money upon him.

Olesya Pomazan is our official hospitality and Moscow Accommodation manager. She is great at planning, scheduling, and generally making sure things run as they should.
Her responsibilities include relations with landlords (visits, interviews, photos and descriptions of places), Moscow survival orientation tours, procurement of tickets, help for visitors with special needs (eg. physically challenged) and a zillion other things to make your visit go smoothly.
As of summer 2002 our countryside project (www.rural-russia.narod.ru or www.russian-horse-rides.com) was moved to under her care.
Olesya can avail her services as an all-around helper for a very reasonable fee.
