Dear CCI Followers,

Our trip to Russia planning has been like a merry-go-round! It starts and stops … and starts and stops … and starts again. Up to now it’s been due to Covid-19. Our last trip travel dates were September 15 – Oct 1. Now, this too seems premature due to Ukrainian, U.S. and Russian interactions in that immediate area.

We now plan the trip for June 5 – 20, 2022, hoping that current conditions change in the nearest future.

Definitely this trip IS ON!  It’s just a matter of when. Covid-19 shouldn’t be an issue by mid year, so this is positive.

Never has it been more important to understand what really is happening on ground in that area. We will send you the best information we can get from our trusted sources.

Dear CCI Followers,

We are very pleased to announce that CCI’s latest trip to Russia will be co-led by the Honorable Jack Matlock, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

The dates are September 15 through October 1, 2021. It is anticipated by this time that COVID vaccines will permit Americans and Russians to meet, discuss issues and generate solutions to ease tense bi-country relations. We plan to take 100 Americans on this trip.

Never has it been more important for citizens (and leaders) of our two nations to work through the rumors and propaganda that exists at this moment.

Both countries have massive nuclear weapons on instant alert … both ready to fire at the other. Our last email to you showed U.S. missiles that appeared as if poised for a Hollywood crisis film. How have we come to this place on planet Earth???

We American citizens can do something

that isn’t being done by our policy makers or other groups of Americans.

We can travel to Russia during this critical time, meet with Russian experts in numerous fields, interview Russians in cities and regions across 11 time zones, get their perspectives on the U.S.-Russia relationship, share our perspectives, discuss innovative ways to get beyond media hype, rumors and propaganda that could … and may yet destroy our Earth … leaving a barren planet orbiting the sun.
