From a purely selfish perspective, Tim, I hope they kick you out of the country forthwith.

Can’t wait to read your posts on business in Russia…

He's got doing business in Russia summed up, especially the bit about lack of trust. There is a 90% chance I will be leaving Russia soon, and I will be writing heaps on the nature of doing business in Russia, something that would have been unadvisable were I still to be working here.

I'm a big believer in full feeds over partial feeds, too. I very rarely click through to sites from Google Reader, so those sites that only provide an excerpt of their stories have to promise something special to persuade me to click through and read the whole story. Provide the full feed and at least I get to see the full story, even if I don't actually visit the original site. Andy´s last blog post..New Blog: Kendrick White of Marchmont News

Kendrick’s Marchmont News is a great resource. I use it to keep abreast of news happening here in Krasnodar.

Glad to see Kendrick will also be doing some personal blogging. One suggestion, full length RSS feeds. He currently has them set to Summary. Often commercial websites will opt for the Summary feeds in an effort to drive traffic back to the main website where the ads are hosted. However, for personal blogs it considered bad form not to have full-length RSS feeds/items.

Nonetheless, Kendrick welcome to the wild world of the english language Russia Watcher blogosphere. You know that you will have finally arrived when La Russophobe writes a scathing post about you. Good luck )))))
