Understanding More Russian Grammar

I love reading and writing in Russian.  Here are some more grammar sources for you, dear.  It's perhaps the most complete and intuitive lesson that I've read yet.

Russian Studies as an Academic Discipline

Sam,

I saw this while casually wondering if there's a Russian AP test that I could take someday in order to be recognized for my hard work and able to attend higher level courses at my leisure. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in contributing or subscribing to this student journal in the near/distant future. http://www.sras.org/vestnik

There are some pretty neat scholarships and study abroad programs on the SRAS site as well.

Easy to read children's books in Russian!!

Of Historic Russian Faith and Art

A few days ago I wandered around an antique store and found myself staring at a beautiful hand painted Russian Orthodox icon. It was hundreds of years old and going for around $1200. For anyone ill-aquainted with the Orthodox tradition, icons are basically pictures of Saints that observers of the faith will respect, honor, and pray with. This is an example of the sort I was admiring. Enjoy the craftsmanship! For more information visit the link below. RUSSIAN AND GREEK ORTHODOX ICONS
