Irkutsk Guestbook

I will be visiting Moscow, Irkutsk and Khaytha from July 1 to July 22, 2000. I want to visit with the many friends I made when I came to the Irkusk Region in 1998. In 1998, I came with a group of FFA students from Marion, IA, Larry Schroeder, Lynn Scheer and Dennis Selness, the FF Advisor from Linnmar High School in Marion, Iowa, USA. I plan to return with Dennis, Larry, Susan Minger, Victor Klopenstein, and Barbara Blemmer.

Finding your page was a pleasant surprise. I was actually looking for tax revolt information. I was surprised at your gold output. This is good news for me too. You see many American citizens want to have real money and not that Federal Reserve paper. So we started printing gold and silver backed currency. We hope the Russian people will not be so foolish as we were and accept credit money, we now are held responcible to pay back three times more than all the assets and property our country owns. This is because of credit money. So many of us have acted to create silver and gold backed currency. Check out "Norfed" on your webb crawlers. Free the world from corporate domination.

So often when I come across a website about a city, there is lots of information that is not included. As a totally blind person, one of the big things that always interests me about an exotic location, is to hear a sample of the local radio stations. So I was absolutely delighted to discover not only the Irkutsk radio station ID, but that interview about Siberia with the British gentleman that went there. I also found the Siberian folk songs very interesting as well! You have also included weather and climate information which is of great interest to me. Clearly, you have put a great deal of time, effort and labor into the construction of this website. I don't think there's any information missing about the city of Irkutsk from this site. It is truly amazing. Unfortunately though because I am blind and use a speech program for surfing the net, I cannot use chat programs. So I hope someone from Irkutsk can e-mail me if they know English because I would like to learn about how the people of Irkutsk spend their days and what they do for recreation especially during the winter. This is truly a great site. It should be called, "Everything you wanted to know about Urkutsk, but didn't think you should ask!" Great job. Now, there is another city in Siberia called Yakutsk, but maybe that's not the proper spelling. It may be Jakutsk. I am curious to know what the northernmost major town in Siberia is. I have a particular interest in far northern places such as Franz Joseph Land. Anyway, I am very very impressed with the site. There's something for everyone here, and even though I'm blind, I'm going to take the virtual tour of Irkutsk just to see how my speech handles it.

I really like this website! It's very surpising how modern this far away Siberian city, which i will visit this summer, is. This site gives me a good impression of Irkutsk, better than other (European) websites, because it gives a lot of non-touristic information, like the latest news, organisations, media etc. When i visit this site, it's like being in Irkutsk. My compliments!

I can't believe this web page! One of the simpliest and the best I've ever seen! I'm very surprised with what I saw ,course my pict about Siberia was completely different. Irkutsk is a great place really! Perhaps some day I'll visit it. Well, saluts to all Irkutsk people from the very oposite side of Slavic world-Croatia on Adriatic sea.

As we were saying in our past entry......... No non-british players were lined up by the league's teams until 1915. That year, David Islas, a highly skilled local boy, was granted the right of wearing Pachuca's blue and white halves shirt and is believed to have been the first ever Mexican footballer. Our club were a respected, even feared power in those amateur days but found it extremely difficult to live up with expectations, as the league entered the professional status in the mid forties. Tuzos had to fight for survival during long seasons in the lower division and were relegated twice in the past decade, after short lived spells in the top fly. Last term, as a newly promoted side, Tuzos were as usual tipped by the media to be struggling to merely avoid the drop. Our local heroes pulled instead a string of outstanding performances to beat much more fashionable opposition and win a play-off that had to be decided on the golden goal rule. One could hardly describe how Pachuca's whole population went crazy with wild exultation, as our team's skipper lifted the champions trophy we had been dreaming of for so many years! Keep doing well, Zvezda! We look forward to establishing close contacts with football clubs from all over the world and you are on the top of our list. We expect to hear soon from our Siberian friends. They could perhaps send us a greeting card for our jubileum, which is around the corner. Arriba el Zvezda de Irkutsk!

Privet Irkutsk! We were actually looking for a link to your football club Zvezda but couldn't find the right one. Could somebody please be so nice to tell them that we left a message on the city's guestbook? We don't want of course leave your page without writing a comment about it: We no longer belong to those people who think of Siberia as being a remote huge frozen desert, although we read Jules Verne's and Stephens & Carter's books in our youth. We reckon Siberia is a large territory rich in natural resources where people must work harder than in most regions of the world, to cope with the extreme climatical conditions. We also know Siberian people are generous and friendly. We say Privet! to all Siberians, especially those living in the Irkutsk Oblast and wish them all the best, whether they support Zvezda or not! Our message to Zvezda: Privet Zvezda! Hola Amigos! It's a pity we were unable to find your web site, so we still know very little about your club structures and projects to offer a healthy life alternative to the youth of the Irkutsk Oblast. Please let us know how Zvezda can be contacted. Allow us please to introduce ourselves: Tuzos Pachuca are Mexico's oldest sport club in existence and our country's current champs. It all began 100 years ago as Pachca Athletic Club, as the entity was originally named, was founded by British subjects who were involved in some engineering projects in this mining district (about one hour drive from Mexico City). These gentlemen devoted many of their idle hours to play the marvelous game followed by the amazed glances of a curious local crowd. No non-british players were lined up by the league's teams until 1915. That year, David Islas, a highly skilled local boy, was granted the right of wearing Pachuca's blue and

I am researching my family history. My great uncle George Pitts was posted to Siberia in less than ideal circumstances duringthe period 1917-1919. All I have is a copy of his diary which mentions travelling on the Trans Siberian railway and I would like to link him in some small way to the events in Omsk in 1919 when he was sent home in rather a hurry (possibly wounded or seriously ill). I am delighted to find a history page as there is very little written about this area. Thank you.

I love you + your socialist nation. I know the capitalists of the west are threatening to toss 1,000+ hydrogen bombs in the Baikal Sea. They will sink to bottom + detonate later at same instant. World turned upside down! A Gromyko, a hero of mine, was right -- the world is ending. But do not fear. With the methane gas + diamond discovery your nation made even before the war started at Severomorsk, we shall build heaven on earth over the crystallized seas. I tell all I meet of the war. But i am met with dis-belief. In God's good time, I know you shall teach them.

Hi,I have visited Irkutsk in April 1999 and enjoyed the city very much. I have fond memories of the Lake Baikal and the city itself. I have had the pleasure of meeting and entertaining a pretty young lady from your city, Natasha Galetkina, here in my home and showing her Niagara Falls and the sights of Toronto. I hope to visit your city again and renew my friendship with her and others I have met in Irkutsk.

Enjoyed your site. My husband's mother Iliana Jaludsky and her father Constantine and mother Apollonaria Erefeyva, (not sure of spelling), were born in Irkutsk and emigrated to Seattle and later NY around 1921. It was interesting to see where they originated from. I sometimes wonder if there were any other members of their family who remained there, but records are rather sketchy.

Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1960, as a boy I decided to become a doctor watching (and later reading) the siberian landscape in Pasternak's Dr Zivago. Today, from Cuneo, beautiful city in the Alps where I live and work as a Public Health and Hygiene specialist, I greet Irkutsk (and its beautiful www pictures), pearl on the trans-siberian railroad.

I know it sounds crazy, but I am planning to make a long journey by using car from Germany to Brasil. For sure this is not possible to fullfill in just a few days, but I need all kind of usefull information for this tour. It is now in the very begining of the planning. The plan is to travel via Irkutzk to the Bering Street and then Alaska, Pan American Highway to the south. Looking forward for comments Thanks Harry
