A collection
of info from Russian sites
Information is this section is a mere collection of facts, figures and
pictures from various Russian sites. Please note that I do not read,
write, speak or understand any Russian. All interpretation of this info
is based on matching things from various web sites and using a few cues
on the data tables as to what the columns actually mean.
If you want to be able to read Cyrillic then it would make it a whole lot
easier if you use windows 95 and Internet Explorer 4 or above. In view.. fonts... Set the font to
'Cyrillic (windows)' and in View.. Internet options.. Languages.. set the language to "Russian
[ru]". You can also cut and paste the Russian text if you want to try and search
for more info. (I have successfully done this).
There is a range of products called 'Socrat' that
do Russian <--> English translations, which I used to read the russian
pages.
