I have an untranslated recipe that was sent to me from a friend in Russia.
He claims that it is the recipe for village black bread.

When he visited here a couple of years ago, I took him pumpernickl-ish
blackbread, and he claimed it was like eating cake, and nothing like the
good black bread at home. (ha!)

What I have is a .jpg graphic that is the recipe in cyrillic letters if
anybody would like a copy. (I have given it to a nice young man in Calafia
who grew up reading/speaking Russian, and he is working on translating it
for me even now).
