The files RusCindy.* contain a short story about Cinderella in Russian.
The peculiarity of this story is in fact that it is written using only words
which start with the same letter as Cinderella (in Russian it is 'z'
for Zolushka=Cinderella). This linguistic feat is not possibly in many
languages. It is definitely not possible in English. This story is posted for
those people who are interested in linguistics and/or Russian on advanced
level. Because there is a difficulty in posting Cyrillic text on Internet
the Cinderella files are prepared in the form of one postscript file RusCindy.ps
or two TIFF files RusCindy1.tif and RusCindy2.tif.

The following is a short message from the author:

Dear Reader,
The following burlesque is dedicated to everyone who can read in Russian.
I wrote it to support the tradition of composing the stories in which every
word begins from the same letter. What is new with this burlesque is that it
follows not the available words but the given plot (Cinderella). To fulfil
such a difficult task, I had to enhance the vocabulary by using common
Russian abbreviations and slang, that may be unclear for the people who
did not live in Russia. Don�t feel uncomfortable to ask questions.
My e-mail is <[email protected]>,yours.

Sincerely, Elena.
