Hello Mr. Prokhorov,
We were shocked by the tragic events in Moscow's metro. My condolences to Russian people and anybody should you have known personally among victims. Here, people in the media and politics who are more defense oriented were furious in their expressions. The fact that this was not a natural disaster, makes it that much harder to comprehend.
What's next and how to prevent are the hardest questions. I was in NYC when twin towers came down. I'll never forget every hour of that day. Our countries have a common enemy and just only for that one reason they must be friends. I have a plan and a project to help this important cause. There is no excuse anymore. Before America would say that Russia is communist or socialist or whatever. Now what? Now Russia is open market economy with highly educated population. As you said in your interview, 20 years ago you didn't know anything about capitalism. And look at you now. A person like you who inherited nothing from anybody is a face of Russian economic success. With all the power you can have with that type of money I wish you'd handle it with great responsibility to influence people in a positive way and do it with honor and grace. I don't want to look like I'm advising you in any way, after all it's your life and I respect that. I'm just trying to share an opinion that I'd share with anyone I know.
When I came to America and saw lots of very rich and famous people miserable, drugged up, broken down, lonely, suicidal, I wondered why? Why couldn't they just be ecstatic all the time, enjoy life, laughter, have parties, have lots of children, travel the world? What else do they want? When I started to learn psychology, I found out that fame and fortune can be used in 3 different ways - good and bad. This I won't tell you. Don't want to sound lecturing. But all this talk comes down to let you know that deep in my heart and prayers I wish you'd help those victims and their families, if possible.
I'll talk to you next time.
Best regards.

From New York With Love (part 1)
Dear Mr. Prokhorov,
Hope this finds you well and in good spirits.
Congratulation on 2 gold medals in Biathlon in Olympics. It was very exciting to watch. More success in Sochi!
After long contemplation, I decided to use this method of communication to reach out to you. I've reserved www.mikhailprokhorov.blogspot.com. Should you want to have it for yourself, let me know. I'm using "future101" as a profile name, just to keep things private.
http://www.mikhailprokhorov-future101.blogspot.com is from me - future101 - to you.
I'm doing this to tell you that I'm very interested to have you as a sponsor for my projects. I read your bio, watched couple of interviews. Have a feeling that although we live in different continents, we have common things to talk about and identify with.
One of my projects is for media and publishing.
Media would be for TV/Radio, publishing for books.
Second is for kids - a Puppet Theater.
1st book for your pleasure can get going right away - about France. I lived there for a year and a half, by the Mediterranean, in Nice. Hard to find anything good to say. You'll love it.
2nd book can be about my life in America for 18 years; insightful, informative, educational. Can save people time and money from learning from it. Has drama in it too. It's not suppose to be funny, but I can make it fun to read. Believe it or not I was kidnapped 2 times (not violently), no joke, really. More about me you can find out from my complete profile. I have connected blogs in order not to repeat things. Just a little more about myself: on BMTI I'm mostly green with blue, introvert, also predominantly auditory. Prefer to hear what someone has to say than pay attention how he or she looks like. All of these are few among people; greens 17%, blues 10%, auditories 20%. I don't want to get technical, so I'll leave it there. Also I'm a Gemini. I can handle 2 different things.
My background, education, trainings, skills, life experiences and view of value systems topped with creativity differs from others in here. I grew up in different world, I can compare right things and see what's beyond them.
I love everything Russian, especially the language (I haven't practice it for many years); it's rich, powerful, flexible, funny and I'd love to practice again.
The 3rd book will be for children. I write those stories for leisure to keep my mind on kinder things. You and I grew up with nice fairy tales, cartoons and puppet shows. American kids are exposed to not as much as nice things. I want to help them, share what we had. I'm dreaming of a Puppet Theater in NYC. We can use my stories. I have the characters ready. Maybe we'll have new generation growing closer culturally and cooping, instead of competing. I prefer harmony to drama. These 2 countries had and still have too much drama and can't afford it anymore. You can help me to help them both. Long road can start from here - one step at the time. I'll keep blogging. Next I'll talk about your interview with Mr. Pozner and big dogs. I love dogs, but don't have any. Would love to - one day.
This blog will be only for you. I'll update and comment on relevant information periodically.
Best regards,
From New York City With Love.
