 The title of the exhibition “Imyarek” (So-and-so) – an old Russian word for a person devoid his name — itself makes you feel sad for the millions killed by the Soviet regime, and rage against those which did it. |

| When I went to the hospital on a whim to interview Vladivostok’s mayor, who’d recently fallen ill after a court appearance, I expected hospital defenses to be impenetrable. After all, Victor Cherepkov is a man who lives in fear of his own assassination at the hands of arch-enemies in the krai government. |

| We attended a conference Sept. 24-26 concerning Russian compatriots from the Pacific Rim countries. Participants were descendants of those who had lived in Vladivostok but had to leave the country after the Revolution. I am a retired educator who lives in the United States whose family left Vladivostok. |

| During a recent visit to Vladivostok I found a copy of your newspaper in the lobby of my hotel. The front page story was about the killing of a mob boss, and was not encouraging. However, once I worked my way to the last page and found Nonna Chernyakova’s column on Russian women who read Cosmo ("We Love It, Really," Oct. 16), I found myself drawn to a keyboard to comment. |

| While hundreds of dispirited demonstrators – many of them Communists and their allies – marched in Vladivostok, we commemorated the Revolution in a quieter way. We went camping in the Sikhote-Alin with a group of friends. |
