The U.S. Consulate General in Yekaterinburg is pleased to introduce a new virtual gallery of Citizen Diplomats and we invite all alumni of American exchange programs to send us their photos and comments about their experience via Facebook or email. We will gladly include your images and text in our Citizen Diplomats gallery for our Russian and American friends to see. Likewise, if you plan to participate in an academic or professional exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, or to visit the United States as a tourist, please visit our gallery for personal insights about the U.S. Your fellow countrymen from Tyumen, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Izhevsk, and other cities have shared their pictures and advice and more will join them in the new year. The gallery is a great resource for leaning about travel in the USA– from how to react when strangers smile at you to how to comply with tax regulations.

We congratulate U.S. alumni and all Ural and Western Siberian citizens with the New Year and Christmas and wish you success and prosperity in 2011!
