   Seriously? Can you see a number of Russian articles, that only the Russians
can read, in an international publication like the Fidonews? In any
international echo for that matter?

   AFAIK, they already have a Russian version -- just like e.g. Sweden had
until our editor passed away.

   Get real!

   No, dear readers, rest assured that as long as I am the editor, the Fidonews
will remain English only. Using CP850.
