Ok,<br><br>I e-mailed a couple people who might be able to get me in contact with a Russian-speaker locally. I also forwarded this to the Women's SIG list to see if anyone there spoke Russian. I think it would be a great idea if we got these guys on our international network of game preservationists. We know practically nothing about Russian games aside from Tetris and seeing how I don't have an e-mail connection with Alexey Pajitnov... :) They might be able to produce a document that discusses the history of digital games and the presence of digital media (especially games) preservation within the Soviet Union that we could then translate and add to our resources. Or maybe I'm thinking too big :P<br>

He only speaks in Russian? Well hmm... Now there ARE a few Russian-speaking people at work, but I don't trust any of them. So there's nobody I know well enough to ask about translation and dialogue. (Though my Japanese instructor apparently knows a few words in Russian :) I can see if anyone in the family knows someone who speaks Russian. This museum is fantastic. <br>
<br>Do they have Facebook or LinkedIn? Do they have a website?<br><br>-Devin<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 6:58 AM, Andrew Armstrong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew@aarmstrong.org" target="_blank">andrew@aarmstrong.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Dear Andrew,<br>
thanks for the hint. The Russian Video Game tradition is indeed very interesting and therfore I send him/ her an email, too. It was answered only in Russian, which my (east german) colleague could translate. It was only a short note, that I should visit the museum, when I am in Moscow (what is actually not planned) and that the exhibition of some of their exhibits in Germany, which was mentioned in the Edge artcle, can't be realised.<br>

Anyone here know anything more about this near little museum? <a href="http://www.edge-online.com/features/inside-the-soviet-arcade-games-museum" target="_blank">http://www.edge-online.com/features/inside-the-soviet-arcade-games-museum</a> <br>

I meant to post this when I saw it linked from GSW, but for some reason didn't :/<br>
<br>
I'll try and get in contact with the owner at some point and invite them here if possible, depending on if anyone there can speak English, since I can't write Russian. :)<br>
<br>
