For some strange reason, Fidonet continued working in Rusia after it 
stopped in Europe. They took over the development of software, too.

For a while at least, I could participate in Fidonet using internet 
instead of a modem. Then my uplink failed, his computer broke down and 
he gave up. Could not find another suitable node.
