AN INTERVIEW WITH DMITRIY PARAMONOV
BY BOB MULLIGAN.
- Do Russian astrologers have much contact with
each other? Is there much of a sense of community?
Yes, the astrological community in Russia is very amicable. There are many astrological groups. We support each
other, helping in difficult situations and we share our experience. We exchange books, spend time in small meetings to
share our experiences. A lot of astrologers here are very
altruistic and freely share their experiences with colleagues.

meetings occur over the Internet. We communicate a lot
through social networks and online forums dedicated to
astrological themes.
