Aleksei Kostroma (1993). Picture from FoR post 05.10.09 It is in part for internal use and not each post may be helpful to the outsider, but worth a mention here: the blog that the Future of Russian project recently launched. Team members, including yours truly, frequently blog on themes related to the project -- think Russian online language and literature, Russian language culture in general, or Russian-speaking blogs. At the moment, the theme of 'play' has the FoR bloggers' special interest: the second FoR conference will be dealing with Linguistic and Literary Play in the Era of New Technology. Feel free to have a look and react to individual posts.ER
