Russia seems determined to become oil rich. With that Turkish pipeline going up, and the one through Central Asia, not to mention Kazakhstan making a bid to be opened up to the world through its oil reserves, they must feel left out/paranoid. Interesting situation.
Dmitri Shostakovich is intriguing. I'm not familiar with him, but with some research I what a prominent Russian he was! One thing can be said about the Soviet Union, they sure sure did honor their outstanding citizens, even the bizarre ones. I wonder how widely available his material is. Perhaps a call to my Muscovite cousin is in the works.
If you ever do send a QSL Report to a station, let me know which station, Passport has addresses for all stations, right down to the person you should address it to. It also lets you know how frequently they reply, and what it is they just might send you in return.
