When you know Russian
You will be able to speak the language of Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. You will read Russian literature in the original, understand the genius of the Russian cinema of the XX century, and comprehend the worldview of the Russian people, manifested in the songs.
"Russia is an open country," Russian President Vladimir Putin always says. And this is really so! You can come to Russia to study, work, develop your business or participate in social projects as a volunteer. Russia has always been a multinational country, so you will certainly feel comfortable living here, especially if you know Russian.
"Contemplating Russia is already a prayer," the poet Igor Karaulov said recently. Russia is the largest country in the world with a unique nature: mountain rivers, taiga, steppes, lakes and much more. You can travel here all year round and discover something new all the time.
The main value of Russia is its people. They say that nowhere are there such generous and sincere people as in Russia. However, in order to get to know the real Russian character, to understand and make friends with Russian people, you need to speak to them in their native language.

"Being a cosmopolitan and at the same time a patriot of my country, I have always wanted to make people in other countries understand the amazing character of Russian people, learn the great history of Russia and love our distinctive culture. The only key to all these jewels is the Russian language, so I work hard to help foreigners learn and truly love our language, which in itself is the greatest world value".

Speaker of international educational conferences.
An innovative manual for the effective learning of the prepositional-case system of the Russian language at the A1-A2 level. The book allows students to systematize knowledge about the 6 cases and get used to using them correctly in communication.
The CIN method is a new method that allows you to create textbooks on the grammar of RFL based on the convergent presentation of a separate aspect of grammar and pragmatically selected culturological material. Of fundamental importance is the creation of an original story in the genre of casual narrative with its representation in the form of a system of illustrations with speech patterns of the type of comics.
