Founded in 1989 "The Foundation for Russian American Economic Cooperation (FRAEC) furthers economic and community ties with Russia and maintains a unique focus on the Russian Far East." [1]
"After more than two decades of operation FRAEC will be closing its doors on November 3, 2011. This was not an easy decision, but one that FRAEC management and the board of directors believed was right. For 22 years FRAEC, has advanced U.S.-Russia relations." [1]
