[April French]

For those of us in the US, please note that although we observe daylight
savings time this weekend, Russia has stopped observing daylight savings.
So keep that in mind as you're putting this on next week's calendar ...
looks like it will be 7 am my time (in Wyoming).

> Simeon Shleev. As it unfolds through their eyes, the history of edinoverie
> is a complex and engaging tale of compromise, negotiation, and adaptation
