I have a doll that was my mothers and it was given to her by someone who visited Russia. The doll itself does not have markings but the clothing does. Of course I can’t type what it says so i am asking for some help in reserching dolls from Russia. The doll is at least 35 years old and is hard plastic. Actually there are 2 dolls, a girl and a boy. The site is very interesting and there should be someone out there to help me. Thanks

Well, I do not know! I believe that it depends where you are in seeing the dogs. When I was in St Petersburg this past summer every warm day a pack of dogs would sleep in the near by dirt area across from my dorms and never bothered anyone. It could be because being dog lovers we would leave food for the there and they likes us. When I took more classes in Moscow I met a stray dog that would walk me and my group of friend to the metro station and back, she was so good that if one of us was approached by a stranger she will stay on guard and there were few time I personally had to tell her to go away. Due to her loyalty we never were scared to go alone anywhere, our “friend” was there to join us in the walk to the store or the metro and back.

Well, I may have contributed to the stray dog problem in a small way, at least in feeding them. There are a lot of stray dogs on the docks in the port of Korsakov on Sakhalin Island that we travel in and out of, but they are pretty friendly. They only fight with each other for scraps of food the sailors and Americans give them. I don’t think I’d ever pet one though.

H’mm… Yes there are dogs and cat loose in the towns and cities. I have even seen a few goats. Can it be a problem? yes I have never lived in Russia. I have visited and never with a tour. I rented flat in Moscow and just spent two weeks enjoying Moscow life. I also spent two weeks in small towns of Russia. I enjoy the small town life more. I saw animals, but find this blog post an bit of a scare. Did I see the same Russian Federation you write about? The posting makes me really wonder.

I think you need to reread the Good Book, killing is not the answer.
