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 http://Readintosh.tamu.edu:591/662Demo/PSamsonov/RussianStart.HTM Thanks a lot in advance! Pavel Samsonov Texas A&M University
