My reading of the page is that it connects us to a random Russian bureaucrat via the webpage. Not two of them to each other.

(See the “I donʼt know Russian. Should I call anyway?” section.)

If it did connect them to each other that would be a lot better.

As much as I like the idea, I couldn’t find anywhere on the site that says you’re connecting two bureaucrats with each other, and it’s out of office hours now so I can’t test it. It sounds like it just connects you to someone.

Doesn’t seem to work. Needs me to follow their twitter account, but can’t tell that I am and so doesn’t do the thing.

Just use two phones taped together, one upside down.

They mean that you should follow them on Twitter to know when the site is working again.

Sorry, but we still need to find one last issue, before we can start calling russians again. Follow us on Twitter @ringringrussia for updates!
