What are all of the relcom groups?
From the most recent "Alternative Newsgroup Hierarchies, Part II",
posted September 24 in news.announce.newusers:
>RELCOM
>------
>Relcom.* is the hierarchy of Russian-language newsgroups distributed
>mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Union (non-CIS countries
>included). These groups are available in Europe and Northern America;
>due to the 8-bit encoding (KOI-8) of Cyrillic letters, minor software
>modifications may be required.
>
>Newsgroups under the hierarchy relcom.commerce contain classified
>advertisements and are relatively high-volume; the nature of the
>information distributed in those groups may contradict policy of some
>networks. However, they may be valuable for researchers and
>businessmen interested in the first-hand information on the economics
>of FSU countries.

>Eugene Peskin <eugene@rd.relcom.msk.su> is the Relcom staff member
>responsible for netnews -- contact him for more information.
