Hello, all.

The message below is being circulated by the Grozny office of Memorial, =
the human rights organization in Russia. Although it says that the =
"action" will be coming to an end at the end of the month, the library =
at Chechen State University (referred to here as Grozny University) will =
be in need of books for a long time to come. (I was there last October, =
and the library is essentially a reading room about the size of a =
two-car garage with books spread out among storage rooms on the grounds =
of a former state orphanage, now the main campus. The university was =
destroyed during the first war, along with the city's archives.) In =
short, they need everything. The library has about one textbook for =
every three students; many are old, Soviet-era books grounded in =
Marxism-Leninism. In addition to Russian-language titles, the university =
needs books in foreign languages (there are no language labs, only a =
cassette recorder that students bought with their own money).=20

The mailing address is noted below. (It might increase the probability =
of delivery if it were restructured as: Russia, Republic of Chechnya, =
364051 g. Grozny, ulitsa Mayakovskogo 84, "Memorial") If the post office =
won't accept packages for Grozny, books can also be sent to the Memorial =
office in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia: Russia, Republic of =
Ingushetia, 386100 g. Nazran, Mutalieva 46, "Memorial"
