Study in Russia
We are in the Chronicle!
Viktoria Tsimberov, Slava Paperno, Raissa Krivitsky
Our main sequence of courses is team-taught by (left to right) Viktoria Tsimberov, Slava Paperno, and Raissa Krivitsky. Each of us also teaches his or her own courses. If we were to describe our program in three words, it would be "challenging, fulfilling, and fun." And very friendly!

Current Announcements

  • Organizational meeting for all Fall 2013 courses that are marked TBA (Time to Be Arranged) in the CU course roster: Thursday August 29 at 4:30, Room 142 Goldwin Smith Hall. We'll be looking for meeting times that suit everyone. This meeting might also help if you're not sure which course is right for you. Bring your schedule!
  • Next Placement Test in Russian: Monday, August 26 at 1 PM, Room 102 Morrill Hall. You may also come at this time if you have questions about our courses. (Most students won't need to take the test. If you grew up in a Russian family or studied Russian elsewhere, read Advanced Placement and Russian for Russians under Courses, then write to Slava Paperno at sp27@cornell.edu if you have questions.)
  • The Jewish-Russian Club, a campus-wide student organization of speakers of Russian (regardless of their ethnicity) holds regularly scheduled events on and off-campus. All students of Russian (including beginners) are welcome. To join the mailing list, write to to Regina Burd at rb525@cornell.edu.
