Jazz singer conquers Russia's racial bigotry
Article Abstract:
Russians are not sensitive to race, according to jazz singer Tim Strong, who moved to Moscow, Russia, in 1995 when his wife was posted there as a diplomat with the New Zealand embassy. He has become a pioneer of jazz in Russia, where jazz was once banned as subversive. He believes that there are a few talented Russian jazz musicians, but feels that Russia still generally has a very austere approach to jazz music. However, this situation could now begin to change under his influence.

Of all the places in all the world, the century had to pick this one
Article Abstract:
Anadyr, the regional centre of Chukotka, in the far north-east of Russia, is hoping to attract journalists from across the world to cover the arrival of the 21st century. The location of this region, very close to the International Dateline, means that it will enter the 21st century some time before other parts of the world. The region is very weak economically, but hopes that international interest aroused by the arrival of the 21st century will bring benefits.
