Letter From Uzbekistan (Corrections)
In the March 19 “Letter From Uzbekistan,” Uzbekistan was incorrectly identified as the largest of the core Central Asian states. It actually is the largest in terms of population, not geographical area. In the same article, the name of writer Ruslan Sharipov was misspelled.
The March 5 article “Putin Appoints Russia’s Third Jewish Premier” failed to mention Sergei Kiriyenko, whose ethnic background is a matter of dispute.
A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
