The International Institute of Russian Language and Culture and Tver

The Winter School offers an opportunity for intensive study of Russian

with peers from around the world studying Russian and enjoying the
culture of Tver, the capital of the Tver region, conveniently located on
the main route between Moscow (2 hours) and St. Petersburg (5 hours).

Students of all ages and proficiency levels are encouraged to apply. Our
instructors tailor the curriculum of each program to the unique
abilities, needs, and interests of the participants.

The program includes:
      * 24 hours of instruction per week
           * 16 hours of Russian language classes
           * 8 hours of area study seminars (literature, history,
politics)
      * 1 local and 1 out-of-town excursion per week
      * 3 workshops per week; including singing, dancing, and folk art

All programs include weekend tours within Tver to local artists'
workshops, area monasteries, churches, and museums as well as special
excursions to nearby cities such as Moscow, towns in the Tver region,
and St. Petersburg.

Due to support from the Tver InterContact Group and Tver State
