Letters to the Editor

To the Editors:

I have been a reader of Russian Life for many years. I love your magazine a lot, however I do have one observation. I have an impression that you are forgetting that Russia is a FEDERATION. There are many nationalities living in this vast country, many of them much longer than the Russians themselves. I do admit that you had an article about Mari El and that you mentioned the Karelians, but those references were few and far between.

I still hope to see a piece about the Komies, Chuvash, Mokshans, Erzians or Udmurts and other minorities. Their languages, histories and cultures are really fascinating.
