...like last week's press conference by former wbc title-holder Mike Tyson, who announced that he's ready to return to the ring and is "tired of being stupid." But the Klitschko brothers break that sorry old mold. They hold Ph.D.s in sports science from the University of Kiev, have cowritten a book on fitness, speak several languages and are ace chess players. And they may be having some influence on their colleagues. Lewis has become a chess devotee, although he hasn't yet matched the Klitschkos' prowess on the board. Vitaly held his own against Garry Kasparov...
Much of Moscow's street food--the dumplings known as piroshki, pies stuffed with meat or vegetables, potatoes filled with herring and onion--is delicious. But hepatitis is a risk. A far better bet is to visit a market such as Dorogomilovo, near the Kiev railroad station. Buy fruit--including succulent, almost purple tomatoes from Central Asia--fresh herbs and soft cheese from the Moscow region, fresh chanterelles and cepes. Take everything to a colleague's apartment or your hotel room, along with a bottle of wine from the city's best shop, L'Intendant, and you will have...
...battle around the village of Galashki, about 20 km from Chechnya. Russian officials said that a group of about 300 fighters crossed into Ingushetia from Georgia. see also: Tales from the Federation UKRAINE Kuchma in a Corner At least 2,000 people took to the streets of the capital Kiev demanding the resignation of President Leonid Kuchma, accused of corruption and involvement in the killing of a reporter.

...accented with ornate Russian trim. Traditional copper cooking implements, paintings and woodwork adorn the walls; the overall impression is that of a Russian country inn where the landed gentry would gather. What truly sets it apart, however, is its food. Sure, all the standard Russian favorites?caviar, borscht, chicken kiev?are available. But the signature dishes spring from Sakhalin's abundant bounty of fresh seafood, game, fruits and vegetables. Start with an appetizer of scallops bathed in a mustard sauce. The tangy dish will leave you wishing it was offered as a main. Or opt for the Kapriz salad cocktail...
...Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Volokh attributes his love of guns to the libertarian influence of his parents, who gave up on the Soviet Union in the early 1980s and moved their family to California. According to Volokh, his parents “vote Republican, think communism is bad and free enterprise is good, and love Reagan.” Such an ideological pedigree could probably not fail to produce a non-gun lover. Volokh hopes the presence of a gun club at HLS will not only provide recreational shooters an opportunity to get to the range, but will also educate...
