Subject: from a Russian journalist Igor Rotar

My name is Igor Rotar.I am a veteran journalist and researcher who recently received a green card in the USA and currently lives in San Diego. I am the author of three books about the ethnic conflicts in the Soviet Union, and wrote an enormous number of articles in leading Russian and Western newspapers and journals. Now, I am also regularly contributing to the Jamestown Foundation (USA).

My major specialization concerns the ethnic and religious conflicts in the former Soviet Union and as a reporter for Nezavisimaya Gazeta and Izvestia, I repeatedly visited all the hot spots of the former Soviet Union. I have also traveled a lot in Ukraine and have unique contacts in this region.

At present, I am looking for a sponsor who would be willing to cover my expenses during my future trip inside Ukraine. (I am going to arrive at Ukraine on my own.) I am planning to come to regions controlled by separatists. American journalists rarely visit these regions, where as due to my contacts in the region, the reach professional experience,and my native Russian, I believe thatI would be able to collect unique material and provide comprehensive analysis of the real current situation in the Eastern Ukraine. I am looking forward to any suggestions on collaboration. My e-mail address isigorotar@gmail.com.
