For its 1998 tour in Russia Xenophon Group members joined the Volga River Cruise of American musical groups sponsored by the International Fine Arts Institute. Text describing the history of these cities and numerous photographs may be accessed in several ways. A detailed listing and description of the towns along the Volga with links to photos is at Volga. A listing of the major cities with links to text and photos is at ruscity. Photos of locations along the Volga outside towns are at Volgapics. The Special exhibition in Simbirsk for the 350th anniversary of its founding features remarkable wax figures of some of the more important Russian rulers from Ivan III to Nicholas II. Please see Wax museum.

We are now planning a similar river cruise with the International Fine Arts Institute for summer 2003. Please contact Mr George Gordon, IFAI, 1015 East Glencoe Place, Bayside, WI, 53074 (414-352-1917) or email to George Gordon.
