  Some people here in Moscow (including me) had a problems in greater
or lesser extent. The main problem is that we have no national section,
but only the persidential representative. But she decides nothing, she
can only recommend a candidate. All the applications are passed through
European federation TS. Why do we have no national section, you may ask.
We haven't enough members to form a lodge in Moscow. (F.Y.I. - population
of Moscow reaches nearly 10 mln. people.) But we haven't 7 members for
a lodge. (It doesn't mean at all that people here don't interesting in
theosophy. For example since 1991 several editions of "Secret Doctrine"
were sold here, approx. in 50000 copies each. In addition, note that
publishers here often decrease a declared number of copies in order to
avoid big taxes).
