Website: U.S. Embassy in Moscow
*****************************************************************
Yesterday I received a pointer to the Website of the U.S. Embassy
in Moscow. I have visited that site today, so I can confirm that
the address is working, and it is a very informative site for
those who have an interest in U.S. government activities in
Russia.
The address: http://www.usia.gov/posts/moscow.html
Incidentally, several U.S. Embassies around the world have web-
sites. You can find a list of these websites by using the shorter
form of the above address:
