Currently we have gathered in Moscow office 31 adhesion to the

"Flag For Tibet In Your Window" initiative: 26 from Russia, 1

from Belarus, 4 from Azerbaijan. Some new adhesion, no doubt, we

will get during the upcoming open assembly of Moscow Radicals

(the next Sunday, February 11).

Another attempt is that we started to call by phone members '95

and '94 as well as subscribers of our appeal, who received

recently the "letter Quinto - Dupuis" on membership campaign

with Tibetan and anti-militarist enclosing in order to press

them asking following questions:

- do they renew (or make at first time) their RP's membership

for 1996;

- do they join "Flag For Tibet In Your Window" initiative buying

the flag;

- do they join ARA for 1996 (the calling is being made mainly by

ARA activists and adherents using their home telephones).

Currently we call Moscow Radicals and supporters (426 persons).

Tomorrow evening, during the preparatory reunion in the office

for February 11 assembly, we shall know some first results and

we will post them here.

For what concerns Saint Petersburg (211 calls to do), I spoke

today with Kira Ponochevnaja (she contacted us after receiving

the letter). According to her, Fedor Chub says Radical Party

apparently doesn't exist anymore (!?), he is not working for it

anymore and she says, he even rejected to accept her membership

fee... Anyway, currently she will call St.Petersburg's 211

persons in order to ask the same questions for membership '96

and flag promotion.

In other cities (Ekaterinburg, Cheljabinsk, Tula, Voronezh, ...)

there are from 10 to 20 persons to be contacted by phone and in

the next days we will engage our punti riferimento in that

cities to receive phone lists and membership 96 coupons from

Moscow office and start to call there.

Absolutely important I consider also a number of public Radical

assemblies (in the cities not far from Moscow). After Moscow's

February 11 appointment, another one is scheduled in Noginsk on

February 25 (60 km from Moscow, 120,000 inhabitants) where we

can use 100-places hall free of charge.

Fresh news will follow.
