Well, let's see (I've just included the places I've lived for more than six months--typically I have to travel throughout the countries due to the job, so I just list where my residence has been):
Fulbright Scholar, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
NGO Consultant, Almaty, Astanta, KZ; Ashgabat, Turkmenistan; Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Bishkek, KG
Administrative Director, Study Abroad Programs, St. Petersburg and Moscow
I just love reading posts from Soviet apologists. I would suggest you come over here and talk to the people who lived through communism, as I do daily.
