KOPAIGOROD - TO DIG A TOWN
In June of 1999, I made my 5th trip back to the former Soviet Union, to
Russia, Belarus, and the Ukraine. It was the fulfillment of a decades-long dream
to visit the village in which my great-grandmother spent the first 12 years of her
life. It took me no less than 10 years, 5 trips, including 2 years living in Russia, a
failed Russian marriage and, eventually, a contact made over the computer
from my living room in Seattle to finally find Kopaigorod.
I traveled from Minsk, Belarus with 3 companions, a friend, a t.v.
producer, and a video cameraman. This is my story accompanied by a few
photographs taken along the way...
