As the City Director for Vladimir, Russia, one of our eight Sister Cities and Candidate cities, I received a nice holiday surprise from Vladimir today. One of my colleagues at the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum Complex, the Education Director, dressed up in a traditional Russian costume and sent instructions on making a pretty angel ornament. So Holiday Greetings from Vladimir and Happy New Year (S novim godom!)
