"...among whom, the Number of Pens was so infinite, that the *Grecian Eloquence had no other way of expressing it, than by saying, That in the Regions, far to the North, it was hardly possible for a Man to travel, the very Air was so replete with Feathers."
* Herodot. L. 4

The people I was acquainted with and the art of whom I represent, mostly by their own accord. You can express your thoughts and moods to the authors personally, for they are, thanks God, alive and in good health, and some of them have an access to the Net; and through me as well, writing me an e-mail to s.pechkin@gmail.com. Your comments and opinions will of course be very interesting to them.
I would like to turn your attention to the fact that the selection represented by me does not reflect the whole tendention of every author but only my favourities among his/her works; even, more correctly – what I have now of what I like in him/her, or, opposite, what I like of what I have. The fact that I have selected some certain material doesn't mean itself that I share the opinions and conceptions reflected in it. Surely, I did some selection, but only by the features that interested me myself.
Any coincidence with something known to you is occasional or non-occasional, just like everything else. All questions about the art, please, address to the authors, not to me. I have no authority to speak for them.
Authors' spelling is changed!
Probative titles of the works are closed in brakes.

Internet publication is coordinated with the author. Presently the author's personal homepage is maintained by Bagrat Ioannisiani at www.netclub.ru, though it doesn't develop as far as I can notice. Quite common a thing. The works occasionally appear in FidoNet, and are systematically openly performed by the author and "Bashnya Rowan" ("Rowan Tower") band.
The author also has a great amount of other texts, poems and songs besides those obtained, translated and selected by me. Translation goes quite slowly, because for me it is a question of inspiration, that can't be hastened.
Presently the author lives in St.-Petersburg, working (or hoping to work – it happens) as Russian language and literature teacher. It's possible to access the author through e-mail (try – I succeed sometimes), her FidoNet address 2:5030/688.14; or with help of Bagrat Ioannisiani (this usually works fine), Dmitry Oleinik or Katy J. Trend (FidoNet 2:5030/386.69, 2:5030/207.69).
Andy R.B. (RedBeard) Tsunsky
Author's permission on Internet publication is quite received. There were publications in OBEC.PACTET@FidoNet.org echo-conference in winter 1997. The author also has a grand amount of brilliant poems, songs, articles, novels and stories. He is a perfect storyteller, believe me. I have heard of several projects of larger works and have seen also pictures, collages and installations by Andrey Yu. Tsunsky. Not to mention heard his music. In 1991 the author also played in X*mas Band, but his own works are incomparably more significant than this contribution.
Presently the author lives in Petrozavodsk, Karelia, and works on Regional Karelian Television. He continues to produce very qualified texts, and, I believe, music and songs, though now I have no chance to hear it.
Here is the information about the author from himself.
The author is accessible by e-mail and also by FidoNet 2:5038/1.24. But the author is a very busy man and seldom answers :-(. It's possible to access him through Vladimir Kasymov, FidoNet 2:5038/2.9.
