Hi all,
Thanks for all the tips. I sent an email to Pavel but he has not yet
responded. In the meantime, Marina Sidorova sent me the following:

"This is the link to our faculty page where you find a brief
information about me
http://www.philol.msu.ru/~ruslang/about/employee/?eid=17 There is a
page where I keep some of my articles on Internet communication but
that is just for fun: marinadoma.narod.ru Both are in Russian."

I'm inclined to accept she's who she says she is and let her publish
info on Kelen in her book, even though the info she has is outdated.
I'll let you know more as I know more.

Thanks again,
-S
