Russia Study Tour Report

Friday, June 14

7:00 pm

Curtis Memorial Library

Brunswick, Maine


You are invited to join PeaceWorks for a presentation by Rev. Bill Bliss, Mary Beth Sullivan and Bruce Gagnon on their recent study tour trip to Russia.  From April 25-May 9 they visited Moscow, Crimea and St Petersburg with a group of 24 people that was organized by the Global Network.

The presentation will include many photos from the trip along with stories from the three of them. There will be plenty of time available for questions.

The purpose of the Russia study tour was to listen, learn, and stand against the constant demonization of Russia by the media across the west.  The idea was to build people-to-people bridges between our nations rather than an escalating arms race which could bring us WW III.

During the WW II Nazi invasion of the former Soviet Union 28 million citizens lost their lives from the fascist attacks and occupation of the Soviet Union.  

The memory of that war is deep in the consciousness of the Russian people to this day.
