Sakhalin page debuts

by Russell Working, editor

This issue marks the debut of the Vladivostok News’ Web page on Sakhalin, a place where Russian and foreign investors are drooling over vast oil reserves lying offshore. Andrew Wilson, president of Links, Ltd., launches “Sakhalin View,” a column on business and investment on the island just north of Japan. We reprint an overview of Sakhalin from the Vladivostok News’ archives. And we will be adding news stories to these pages over the next few weeks and months.

In addition, we are also looking for a Sakhalin-based stringer willing to Write occasional stories for us. Send an e-mail, including a resume and some clips of your writing.
