Russian Profile
Acknowledgements
| This
web page would not have been possible without the help of Vera
Boyko and her mother-in-law, Lyobov Boyko (pictured at left).
They provided invaluable insight into Russian culture, and spoke
frankly about traditional medical practices and health care
beliefs. I thank them both for taking the time to meet with me
on several occasions at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center. |
| The time that Victor Veremich
devoted to this project is also much appreciated. I enjoyed
speaking with him about Russian culture - mostly in English, and
sometimes in Russian. |
| I would also like to thank Dr.
James S. Pula and the staff at the Mohawk Valley Refugee Center
for the information they provided about immigrants and refugees
in Utica, and the staff at St. Elizabeth Medical Center for
their cooperation. |
