Dear friends!

Welcome to “RussianTown” magazine.

Those of you already familiar with us are going to find information about updates of our magazine.

If you are just opening “RussianTown” for the first time, you can rest assured that the time you spend won’t be a waste because we don’t allow a single line to be useless. This has been our concept since the first day of our existence.

“RussianTown” magazine is the first publication for Russian speakers living in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee in their native language. It informs them about the events taking place in the United States, Russia, and all around the world.

We all know that timely information from different sources enables the intellectual growth of a person and the successful development of a business. That is why our magazine presents such a wide variety of topics: politics, culture, sports, health, technology, and history.
You are also going to meet interesting people on the pages of our publication, because a lot of magazine space is assigned to different interviews.
As for editorial writing, we consider it basic, since no publication can exist without a deep analysis of various events taking place in the social life of a country.

“RussianTown” came into existence in July 2003. This is when the first issue of our monthly magazine was published.
It became obvious that the magazine was badly needed by the Russian-speaking population of the American South.
We find ourselves on the other side of the ocean and citizens of a new country, yet we don’t want to ignore our roots. There are many of us and we have to stay in touch.

The magazine “RussianTown” is designed to form a new, optimistic outlook among the residents of Atlanta, Florida, and the whole southeastern United States. This outlook symbolizes the creation of the new nation – the nation of Russian-speaking American citizens.
The goal of the magazine is to help those who came to the U.S. a long time ago. Their children have fully adapted to the life in this country. They speak English much better than their parents. However, they shouldn’t forget the language of their ancestors.
Our goal is also to inform and instruct those who are new to the U.S. This is why our publication gives such detailed advice about how to buy a car or a house, how to handle finances, and how to get a good education.

We are trying to help these people to establish themselves in their new motherland. On our pages they can find important information about opening and operating their own business.

Overall, “RussianTown” magazine offers valuable information about anything that may be of interest to every member of the Russian community in the southeastern United States.
The growth of our publication speaks for itself. The first issue in July 2003 had only 42 pages; at the end of 2004 there were 76 pages of material satisfying different interests of our readership. Our goal for 2005-2006 is to increase the volume of the magazine to 100 pages.
A magazine, to be a true source of information for its readers, has to grow on a regular basis. The progress that we have made in two years speaks in favor of our publication.

One more factor showing the growth of our popularity among Russian speakers of Georgia, Florida, and other states in the Southeast is the increase of printing from 4,000 copies a month at the beginning to the current 6,000 copies.
This means that if an average Russian family consists of three to four members, our magazine is read by at least 22,000 people. Of course, this statistic is an estimate, because it’s impossible to count how many people read the same copy of each magazine. Any magazine as a practical source of information often “changes hands”. That’s the way information usually spreads in the Russian-speaking community – people feel like sharing the latest news with their friends, relatives, and co-workers.

In the time of its existence, “RussianTown” has managed to gain stable interest among readers and advertisers in the southeastern United States. Each copy of the magazine is in great demand.
“RussianTown” is the only free publication in the Russian language distributed in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Many copies are also sent directly to subscribers in different cities of the country.
Our readers can find the magazine in Russian stores, offices, businesses, churches, and retirement homes. These places experience a high volume of visitors, so the magazine can’t remain unnoticed.

We do our best to offer topics that present the most interest to our readership.
You can rest assured that you will always find something useful on our pages. We want “RussianTown” magazine to become your friend in life and partner in business, no matter what your interests and hobbies are.

Many leading businessmen of Atlanta have already acknowledged our publication. They’ve discovered that advertising placed in the pages of “RussianTown” is a recognized way to deliver information to a targeted audience.
Your ad is very likely to be noticed by our readers.

We make the golden rule of mass media work – every word written by an advertiser must be delivered to a potential customer.
“RussianTown” magazine is the major advertising medium in the Russian language for Georgia, Florida, and other states.
