Dear listmembers!

About 8 months ago we had a very interesting dispute about the decline in
Russian studies in the USA (and maybe in the world at large) on the SEEALANG
listserv. I hope this issue is interesting for you too.

I have created an on-line survey connected to a database to research the
issue. All the issues raised in the dispute have been included in the
survey. The survey is easy to fill out: just click on the radio buttons (if
you don't have additional comments).

The results of the survey will be reported to you all through the listserv.

 I believe we will get interesting results on the geography, reasons and
forecasts of the decline. Please, visit and fill out the survey at

Thanks a lot in advance!
