Vegetarianism in Russia

Dear colleagues,

In December 2001 we will celebrate the 100 anniversary of the vegetarian society in Russia. We are happy to inform you that for the first time since the October Revolution in 1917 the vegetarian movement in Russia finally has its own printed media - the monthly Journal "Vegetarianec".

The magazine is issued by the "Eurasian Vegetarian Society" in the city of Moscow. The new issue came out in August 2001 with the circulation of 25000 (52 pages in full color).

For more information about this edition, please see our web site at http://www.vegetarianec.ru. Our full colored almanac is distributed in Moscow, St.-Petersburg, and several other cities in Russia and the NIS. On its pages you will find fascinating information about vegetarianism in Russia. We take a look at the aspects of vegetarianism from different viewpoints: medical, religious, philosophical, ethical, esthetical, ecological, economical, hygienic, and others. Unfortunately, we didn't have an opportunity to communicate with you before now. Today, when the vegetarian movement has a new impulse for revival in Russia, we are open to all who support the ideas of vegetarianism. We believe that our Journal will help develop spiritual communication, cooperation in trade, exchange of cultural and business information. Our goal is to establish business contacts, to provide informational materials, to determine new fields of cooperation, and thus to promote cultural exchange. Your offers are always welcome. You can write to us at: Moscow 123100, P/O Box 17 or call us at 728-7194, fax-157-7328 or simply send us an e-mail: seakalan@mail.ru

Sincerely,
Nikolai Kalanov President "Eurasian Vegetarian Society" Russia, Editor in chief of "Vegetarianec".
