My supervisor, Mike Cole, recommended I post a copy of the following message.
It comes from A.G. Allakhverdyan, a psychologist in Moscow who has been
working for some time examining the problem of intellectual migration from
a number of perspectives, psychological and otherwise.  He is very interested
in collaborating with Western scholars, but realizes that the most likely
collaborators may well be outside his own field.  We at the
Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition are forwarding Dr.
Allakhverdyan's message to various electronic forums in hope of
finding colleagues in the West who would be interested in
corresponding with him, particularly via e-mail (due to the immense
time and money involved in mail and phonecalls respectively between
here and the CIS).  His e-mail address c/o the Vega International
Laboratory in Moscow is given below.  Please respond to him there,
with a cc: to one of the following addresses at LCHC:

<dwilliam@weber.ucsd.edu>
<lbogosla@weber.ucsd.edu>

Thank you very much for your attention.

Respectfully,
Larry Bogoslaw, LCHC
