I went on a Russian tour in 1992 that was sponsored by the organization founded by Sharon Tennison, the author of the Putin write-up
What seems like a lifetime ago, I visited Moscow and St. Petersburg during the summer of 1992 on a special tour arranged by Sharon Tennison's organization, the Center for Citizen Initiatives (CCI). The collapse of the Soviet Union had ushered in a period of political and economic uncertainty. Relentless in her quest to dispel the media propaganda and many myths that characterize US-Soviet relations, Tennison and her team have developed a variety of grassroots programs that are designed to educate and help the Russian people transcend the old way of thinking that they were accustomed to under communism.
My 1992 trip included a homestay in Moscow where the couple who hosted me was paid in hard currency (Dollars); a meeting with ranking members of an environmental organization (INENCO) to discuss pollution concerns such as the damage caused by the Chernobyl nuclear explosion; an arranged meeting with members of a feminist organization based in St. Petersburg; and a tour of a new private school in Pushkin, Russia, that was funded, in part, by Apple alumnus Steve Wozniak.
From a CCI newsletter published in 1992
One of CCI's innovative programs that the organization initiated in the early 1990s offered a way for budding entrepreneurs from Russia to participate in an internship program in the US. Vasily Sementsov, the private school director mentioned in the previous paragraph, was a graduate of this training program.
Back then, portable camcorders and cell phones were not readily available, so I recorded what I saw and heard using a 35mm camera and a pocket-sized audio cassette recorder. In the following YouTube video, I used part of an audio recording to tell a story about the state of the Russian economy that one of our meeting acquaintances shared.
