Every year in December, during the last week of the winter semester, the Russian Department holds a talent show. Students from all levels sing songs, recite poetry, and perform plays and skits. The event is a way for Russian Department students and faculty to celebrate the end of the semester; it also allows students to show off what they have learned in their courses. This year’s program included:
Russian 101: А.С. Пушкин, «Я вас любил»
Anna Lebedeva: И.А. Бродский,«Ясижууокна»
