"Everything is forbidden but nothing is impossible."

Hello! My name is Matvei Finkel. Before I came to the United States I worked as a liaison person for the CBS News Moscow bureau. For the last eight years I have taught classes at Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington. Now I have my own business which provides consulting and educational services and products from Russia.
You can purchase my book "From Russia with Jokes" for $4.95 (S & H included).

Our firm, Russian-American Island, has a huge selection of Russian nesting matryoshka dolls, both standard and miniature sizes, with a wide variety of designs: religious, woodburned, political, fairy tales. We also offer lacquer boxes, Christmas ornaments, Easter wooden eggs and toys, brooches and pins, books, computer software, jewelry, and specialized made-to-order crafts and other gifts from Russia.
