Beefs & prejudices Ugly disclaimers The Black List
of people who screwed me
(I have a hesitation about adding clients who screwed me for the fear that will make the good ones feel uneasy. I will however gladly add known jokers on the Russian travel scene who were mean to other providers of services. Or providers of services who are not merely careless or unprofessional but whose actions can be descirbed as scam.)

Alternative and wacky travel services, programs, or just ideas

 

 

Food and drink

Beer and Vodka

 

Aluminum Fork eating establishments  I didn't get far with that. The idea is to compile a list of cheap eating establishments. These will not advertise in The Moscow Times. You will not find their in Google. Yet there are there ready to feed you well for $5/meal. PERHAPS SOMEONE WILL DO THIS PROJECT?

Don't feel like a tourist!  Apart from their promotional value, these services are intended to help you feel like

 

 home.

About us

I'll be re-doing this page to reflect some recent changes.  [now not so recent - prepare a paragraph to explain who I am and what I do, with a link to full resume and sites]

 

The Ugly Corner

 

Beefs & Prejudices

 

Black List of people who maliciously didn't pay their bills. With no exception these are Russian Brides seekers. Don't worry, honestly forgetting about your phone bill, or disputing the amount, or other normal working situations will not get you here. Passing on a bad cheque and disappearing will.

 

 

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS OUDATED. DON'T LOOK HERE. GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.

 

Ugly Disclaimers. Most of the sites (mine or satellites) have an ugly disclaimer section. Please read them carefully. The main idea is that some information on my sites is incomplete, inaccurate and in any case available "as is", and that my services are of an unofficial nature (sort of favours in exchange for your financial or other support), thus no taking me to court if you let's say break your leg on my property.

 

Russia for vegetarians

 

The page that unites vegetarian information in my possession: /vegetarian_russia.htm  This is one of the pages destined for a major overhaul.

 

 

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS OUDATED. DON'T LOOK HERE. GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.

In response to recent inquiries:

I remain opposed to eating fuzzy little animals and count making Russia a vegetarian-friendly destination among my aims. The page will be updated in the near future, and LOTS of new information added.

Photos

Lots of rural photos at www.russian-horse-rides.com

 

Not yet sorted out photos and notes are piling up HERE

 

Information

 

Russia Information Desk. We will answer small questions that don't require anything more involved than looking up the phone directory or making a call or two entirely for free. 

Another good place to look for and share Russia-related information is my GUESTBOOK.

 

Hand-picked Russian links, mostly related to travel, living, and working in Russia.

 

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS OUDATED. DON'T LOOK HERE. GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.

 

I try to keep this page updated because it is one of the resources I myself use. If you own a good Russian related resource I will be pleased to add it there. There are LOTS of links to that page and my sites' visitors are encouraged to explore links, so don't worry, it is not one of these perfunctory links pages no one reads. I don't do link exchange for the sake of link exchange to raise search engine ranking.

 

Examples of Russian prices. A useful and popular document. Contributions welcomed.

 

Beer and Vodka. Done partly as a joke and partly as a reaction to some of my guests' overindulgence... Now receiving regular enquiries on the subject and will perhaps update the page.

 

Staritsa Projects

 

The most active page related to Staritsa, Tver region is www.russian-horse-rides.com

And the project seems to work too.

Old pages:

Our attempt to set up a guest farm near the city of Staritsa, Tver reion.   An abandoned page.

The City of Staritsa has just been overhauled in a major way

The Orphanage of the City of Staritsa THE PROJECT WORKS AND I'LL BE UPDATING THE PAGE

 

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS OUDATED. DON'T LOOK HERE. GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.

www.staritsa.info Staritsa makes the central page of this project but at the end all places of significance between Moscow and St. Petersburg are to be documented with the practical budget traveller in mind.

 

Russian Women    

 

[a moratorium is declared on this service till further notice]

 

My housekeeper Marina discovered internet dating and now insists on reactivating the Russian brides project. I was unable to convince her not to so you may as well make use of her enthusiasm. All the old services are available from her with zeal that I expect to last for a few month. MARINA'S PAGE

A lot of them are scattered around the site. I'm yet to compile them on one page. Here is the old testimonials page  The new ones are added to pages that describes the service or project in question.

Good or bad, we print them all. I urge you to look for bad ones because, if hiring us to do any serious work for you, you need to know what we are not as much as what we are.

Also the Notice Board, and add your testimonials there.
