He met with Vic Fischer on one of his trips and Vic told him that if Abramovich ran for governor Fischer would talk with Ted Stevens about getting an earmark to have USAID support work in Chukotka. Abramovich did run for governor and Stevens did submit an earmark. This program operated until 2006. The Alaska Chukotka Program was initially housed as part of the American Russian Center and was then moved to ISER. It functioned through making subawards to Alaska and Chukotka organizations to provide services. | 2001 |
