Novosibirsk reflections continued

[Jo Toepfer]

hi folks,

reading all the stuff about the Novosibirsk "operation" a incredible energy
starts to shake my body and I wish to be a part of this thing - because it
is big and powerful. I spent some years in Novosibirsk (working with Elena
Marchuk and other great people) and it was a great and inspiring experience
and I can confirm all the characteristics mentioned in the previous E-mails
and the amazing resource of this place. I'm thinking about the good old
days, when I was still able to get a visa to Russia. Since the visa issue
is a problem not only for Russians going to Canada. First time the Russian
officials refused to give me a visa was only some days after the OST
training Michael M Pannwitz and I conducted in Moscow in June 2000. Since
these days I got 6 refusals on my visa applications from the Russian
Embassy in different countries. I don't know whether there is a connection
to OST or not. For me OST is in contradiction to the current Russian policy
and Mr Putin (a former KGB officer) in particular. And I think they don't
like it! But it will grow in Russia and CIS - I'm sure.

Even I'm not able to come to Russia I would like to offer my help for the
emerging Russian OST community. Feel free to contact me (also in Russian)
if you need ... whatever! This offer is even more reinforced during the
Advanced Training with Birgitt last week in Berlin - thank you Birgitt again!

Elena - would you send me all information about the website and the mailing
list you are going to establish in Russian?

hugs
Jo
