I am grateful to Alexander Kirpichev and the rest of the staff of NPOmash printing-house (the town of Reutov, Moscow Region). In May 2001 they print 50 copies of a brochure 'Notes on the village of Sorokotyaga and its inhabitants...', which took me slightly more than 24 hours from delivery of the composed matter (in computer form) to the printing-house to receiving the edition, all bound and packed.

I am grateful to the editorial staff of Sil'ski Visti newspaper, which published Leontiy Golotyuk's photo in the 'Ne Vtrachaemo Nadiyu...' (Not Abandoning Hope...) column, and to those few who responded to this publications, – as well as to Antonyna Brovchenko of Sorokotyaga who suggested the idea of such publication.

I am grateful to Narod.Ru server administration, and also to an author of the idea of your_name.narod.ru addresses for free hosting. In certain sense, it was this address (to be exact, the narod.ru ending) which prompted me to create my personal SerGo957 web-site.
