Our Russian Language School in Moscow is conveniently located in one of Moscow’s most attractive and historical areas, Chistye Prudy, close to the metro station and just 15 minutes walking distance from the Red Square and the Kremlin. The local area also offers a wide range of pubs, clubs and international restaurants, as well as museums and art galleries.

Moscow is an enormous city. Its size is utterly incomprehensible to the first time visitor. But with a little time and effort you come to realize that the city is perfectly manageable. You get what you give in this city. It doesn’t hand you cultural delights on a plate, rather you have to go out and find them. Moscow isn’t a city designed for tourists – there is very little visible English on the streets, but this just adds to the charm of the place. There is an endless amount of things to see and do here. It is a city of contrasts, where old, crumbling, Soviet architecture and ultra modern monoliths stand side by side. Moscow is currently in a bewildered state of change and this makes the atmosphere electric. The Soviet Union may have long gone, but evidence of its existence is literally everywhere, from hammer and sickles, to iconic statues of Stalin and Zhukov. Stalinist architecture dominates the skyline, an eerie reminder of a past which ironically co-exists with a new Russian hell-bent on Europeanisation.

Life in Russia. Let’s talk about it!

MATRYOSHKA Russian Conversation Club at Globus 

MATRYOSHKA is…

•  a time-honored symbol of Russia

Matt or glossy, brightly dressed up in colored “sarafan”

and golden framed “kokoshnik” or in a modest one-color dress

and shawl, she is always hand-made, uniquely beautiful and smiling at you.

It’s the souvenir you simply can’t imagine Russia without.  

•  a toy with a rich inner life

You can’t judge Matryoshka by appearances

before you open it to see the smaller pieces.

The same way you can’t judge Russian lifestyle and culture

at first sight. You will have to get to know it from deep inside.

That’s why we invite you to join our discussion about Russia today

(especially if you are new to Moscow or have a good experience to share).
 

• a Mother of a large family

That’s why we are happy to look after your child (or children)

if you want to bring them along.

•  a nest doll which is not at a sky-high price

Your point of view is worth its weight in gold,

our friendly atmosphere is always for free.

Cost: Joining fee is 500 RUR (it  covers the first 3 meetings in September – October). Thereafter – 400 RUR per meeting.     

Feel free to join our first MATRYOSHKA  Conversation Club meeting!

Topic: “How to love Russia at first sight!”

Date: 17/09/10 (Fr.) or 18/09/10 (Sn)       Time: 11.00 – 13.00

Address: Moscow, Makarenko St, 5 (Chistiye Prudy Metro St), building 1A, 3d floor, office 5.
