Title: Re: [aaus-list] two messages from non-members (Chornob

I agree with Gene's distaste (horror?) for supporting anything associated with Lukashenka. The long lag between the receipt of the post and my forwarding represents my own hesitation about it while I consulted others about whether to put it through or not. In the end, I thought it important that those researching the ongoing politics and social outcomes from Chornobyl be aware that the event is taking place. If it is any comfort, further messages from the Embassy already have been interdicted.

Personal observation: I would think twice about circulating anything from an organization that represents the last dictator in Europe (Lukashenka) and his authoritarian regime.  It seems to me that doing so only helps their PR efforts and undermines the Belarusian people's democratic aspirations.  On the good news front, I doubt many of you are rushing to join THE EURASIA CENTER AND FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY.

Dear AAUSers,

I am forwarding two messages from outside the list. One is from the Embassy of Belarus, regarding Chornobyl (minus the html graphics in the original). I do not know anything about the foundation for Chornobyl/Chernobyl that they are endorsing. The second is from a Ukrainian researcher who is looking for information on a conference that must have been mentioned earlier on the list. Please respond to them, not the list or me.

Regards,

Rob DeLossa
