Over a bottle of vodka and a traditional Russian salad of pickles, sausage and potatoes tossed in mayonnaise, a group of friends raised their glasses and wished Igor Irtenyev and his family a happy journey to Israel.
My regional class has been learning about Russia this week and when I first started teaching a few years ago, I would teach that Russia had a population of 145 million. Today it is 141 million and part of that is due to migrants leaving a country that they see as lacking in economic opportunities and political freedoms (another part of the story is that birth rates plummeted after the collapse of the Soviet Union in what demographers have called the "Russian Cross"). In the last few years the population appears to have stabilized, but there are still many who do not see a vibrant future from themselves within Russia.

Seth, I was shocked as well, but the credit goes to my students who have seemed to use some 3rd party website that automatically "views" another site from what they told me this morning. I emailed my class to start visiting my scoop.it site, which I have just created a few weeks ago and they felt the need to help boost my view count. I teach 1 class of APHG (some years up to 5) in the East Bay of Northern California and have been a lifelong geographer. The content I scoop is all me, through my various searches online. I came to scoop.it to begin to collaborate with other APHG teachers and share the content with my students. I feel a bit embarrassed that my site was discovered this way and hopefully the scoops I provide can make up for my student's bad sense of humor.
