There aren't many American/Canadian shluchim in cities of Russia. There used to be 5, but with Yisroel Silberstein of Vladivostok and myself kicked out of Russia for reasons still unknown, there are 3 left. All are blogging. Here are some highlights from their blogs that I found.
Please visit their blogs and comment on them. Show them your support and if possible, send them a donation as well ;). But even if you cannot, write them a message reminding them what great work they're doing. Someone once called me in Russia just to tell me how inspired he was that I was out there. I wrote about it ages ago... he made my week, and made me feel normal after going through all the stares of hatred every time I walked the streets...
