I received this message this morning and am posting it in hopes that someone out there can help-
------------
Greetings!My name is Evgeny, and I'm a chief of the Russian reenactment-group in Saint-Petersburg, 'Nurnberg'. We're occupied with the appropriate reenactment of South Germany (Bavaria, Nurnberg) of the middle-late 14th century. Our experience is not very large, about two years, but we have good practice in participation in many medieval festivals here, in Russia, and abroad. Now we're trying to raise our living history level and quality. But we need more information, so we're looking for other groups dedicated to the reenactment of Germany and especially Nurnberg of 14th century for the experience exchange. So I really hope that you could help us to find them and give us their contacts. Waiting for the answer and yours faithfully, Evgeny JacksonST[at]yandex.ru
------------- Please cross post as appropriate. Thanks! Gwen

Why the heck is a russian group reenacting nuremberg?
........They are hundreds of miles away from the region they want to reenact?Ha! Exactly why Jeff and I gave up trying to reenact medieval Europe in Southern California. It got to where it seemed like the living, breathing definition of 'pointless'.  Gwen Edited to add 'but loads of people will disagree with me, and what else are you supposed to do if you want to reenact X but live Y?' [ 11-28-2006: Message edited by: Ginevra ]

Just to clear up possible misunderstandings: everbody can of course reenact what he/she wants. And of course countries without medieval history, like the u.s. for example, will always have people doing european medieval reenactment.
But the difference is, russia does have a rich medieval history, which is really different to the german as far as society, architecture, clothing sometimes also, armour etc. is concerned.
There are also groups in germany reenacting for instance france or england- which is still in some ways odd, if there is not really a connection to the country and region.
Myriam and me for instance are portraying french people also- with the small difference that she is french.But, living in nuremberg, it still is a little bit funny to imagine some people in russian reenacting nuremberg without perhaps ever having been there. In fact this reminds me of the fact how strange non-regional portrayal really can be, and even reminds me of being even more consequent in our french displays. -------------------- Diu Minnezīt

I'm currently on the way on putting up a new site coping with nuremberg (where I was born and I'm living near, and what I'm portrying the the 15th century).
Still small, is planned to grow, and give help to people reenacting nuremberg.
Only flaw- will be german language only. http://www.nuernberg-im-mittelalter.de
Maybe that will help you.-------------------- Diu Minnezīt
