» edel - Russian history

Alexander thank you for this.I am very interested in Russian history and I must confess to my great shame that I know very little of it.
I have read some of the great Russian authors,never miss a documentary on Russia, frequent some Russian restaurants in my city,have attended a few Russian cultural events but I'm afraid that this is negligible as awareness of the great country that Russia is,the diversity of its people and the breadth of its culture.
I am a north American, Canadian to be precise and I look forward to reading more of you. Perhaps I will come to be able to ask intelligent questions and hold an interesting discussion on your chosen subject. In the meantime I shall endeavor to follow some of the links you have put up and try to enlighten myself.Again I thank you and I look forward to your next article.

» PhilippaJane - Welcome to the Suite

Wonderful stage setting for your topic Alexander. Russia seems very far away from New Zealand, but I have always been fascinated by its history, and I am certainly looking forward to learning more through your articles. Perhaps you could recommend some good books? I've read a few fictional works, but would appreciate some advice on some further reading.
Anyway welcome to the suite.

I'm sorry I'm so late getting in here with my welcome. I've been driving across country on a move. Anyway, I'm so glad to have you in the history section. Russian history fascinates me and you were very kind to change your application to this topic when I asked you to. I'm excited to have a chance to learn more about this topic.

» Fantushinka - Good luck!

Ah, best wishes to the person who was given my topic without my notification. I hope you will enjoy hearing from so many people around the world as I did. I received a multitude of email comments and questions and was so happy to see my articles from suite101 appear on a number of other websites, including Russian ones.

I do hope Suite101 treats you well. You are certainly off to a good start, since you will actually be paid!
