Washington Profile Survey: America’s Most Influential Russians in 2004
We would like to invite you to participate in Washington Profile’s second annual survey to determine America’s most influential Russians (either citizens of the former Soviet Union residing in the United States or Russian-born naturalized U.S. citizens) in 2004.
Using last year’s results, we have added to and refined our original list of important persons from Russia and the former Soviet Union, which now total about 100. Below is the list of these individuals, separated into five categories by occupation.
Please take a moment to participate in this survey by simply copying and pasting the list below into a new email message, leaving only the names of those individuals you believe have been most influential in their respective spheres of activity during the past year and deleting all others. After you have gone through the list, please send the email message to info@washprofile.org.
As the objective of this survey is to determine American perception of these individuals’ influence, we ask that only citizens or permanent residents of the United States participate.
Once all surveys are in, we will tally the results and rank individuals according to number of votes received. This survey is being conducted on an anonymous basis and your participation will remain in the strictest confidence. Ratings will be used solely for the purposes of this survey.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Scott Stephens at 202-232-8005 or by email at sstephens@washprofile.org.
We thank you for your time and participation.
Washington Profile staff
