There is a UUCP connection between Helsinki and Moscow. The .SU domain
registered at SRI-NIC is this small Soviet UUCP network called RELCOM. Among
the institutions on it are the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Joint
Inst. for Nuclear Research in Dubna, high-energy physics sites in Serpukhov
and Protvino, et al. I asked them to help me get e-mail to the Steklov
Institute of Mathematics, and they got it online right away and gave it a
domain name. Now we happily exchange e-mail. RELCOM people are perfectly
willing to connect new sites.

A while ago I had the pleasure of talking to some folks from IOFAN and
promised to let them know when it becomes possible to bring e-mail to their
institute. I tried to pass to them the message that they should call Dmitri
Volodin or Vadim Antonov at 231-2129 in Moscow to arrange a connection; once
they do, there will be an e-mail route there. If you're in touch with
someone at these 2 sites, or any other Soviet site, you might want to
encourage your contacts to do the same.
 
There is a LISTSERV mailing list (moderated and digested) used for posting
information about Soviet e-mail connections. It's called SUEARN-L and is on
LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU. For more information on using LISTSERV e-mail
'HELP' to any LISTSERV. The digests are automatically posted to the
newsgroup talk.politics.soviet.
