Erich Lippman, who holds an MA and PhD in Russian History from the University of Minnesota, traveled north last weekend with two students from St. Olaf College, Yasmina Tsedenova of Elista, Republic of Kalmykia (Russian Federation), and Anna Kolesnyk of Zhytomyr, Ukraine. The students are assisting with the translation of archival documents from the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Chisholm, Minnesota, related to the St. Peter & St. Paul Russian Orthodox Church in Bramble. Access to the archives was facilitated by Mary Kaye Kuzma and Lisa Kruchoski. On Saturday, the group scanned all available Rusyn-language books. The students will continue transcribing and translating these materials throughout the remainder of the semester. The visit concluded with a stop at the St. Peter & St. Paul Church Russian Orthodox Church, where they rang the bell.

Last fall, a storm blew the cross off the top of the Church dome, and it was left hanging by a cable. Todd rescued the cross and spent the last few months trying to figure out how to reattach the cross securely. The problem was that he had to rent a lift to be able to reach and reattach the cross and buy the necessary materials to safely secure the cross, not really knowing what materials he would need until he was on the lift. Todd was able to securely reattach the cross yesterday. You will notice the cross is no longer painted white. Due to the paint flaking in some areas, Todd sanded the paint off the cross back to its original aluminum finish.
