YES, THERE IS A DED MOROZ, VIRGINIA… AND CALIFORNIA, AND NORTH DAKOTA…
Russian Life magazine is happy to announce that, due to generous  
sponsorship from the Russkiy Mir Foundation, the magazine will be  
distributed FREE to thousands of U.S. students of the Russian language  
in 2009.
Since 2002, Russian Life’s Education Patrons Program has enabled the  
free distribution to students of Russian at some 80 U.S. high schools  
and universities. For five years, the Program has been funded by  
private donations from current Russian Life subscribers. The Program  
seeks to support and invigorate study of Russian by using the magazine  
as a valuable source of current, objective information about Russian  
culture, history and life.
The Russkiy Mir Foundation sponsorship offers the opportunity to  
RADICALLY expand this program to reach EVERY interested high school  
and college in the country (and to remove our previous restriction of  
only 6 copies per institution!). In addition, each issue of the  
magazine distributed to schools will include a special, eight-page  
language-learning insert, “Uchites,” which uses content from the  
current issue of the magazine as a launching point for building  
vocabularly and language skills.
To receive the free issues for a year, schools merely need to:
    (1) register and/or confirm their school’s data online, and
    (2) agree to complete a survey on the program’s effectiveness  
later in the year.
To find out if your school is already set to participate, simply visit  
this page on the Russian Life website:
http://www.russianlife.com/educpatr2.cfm
* institutions listed in RED are confirmed and will be receiving  
magazines.
* institutions listed in BLACK must confirm their data, and a  
representative of that school should contact Russian Life off-list
(orders at russianlife.com 
) to receive a link to update their data.
* U.S. institutions NOT on the list should also contact Russian Life  
by email to receive instructions how to add their data to our database.
The new, expanded free distribution of Russian Life begins with the  
Mar/Apr 2009 issue. Please act now to ensure you are included!
Russian Life magazine, with a publication history dating back to 1956,  
is a colorful, insightful look at life as it is lived in Russia today.  
Russian Life is a privately-owned, fiercely independent magazine that  
features quality journalism, amazing photography and a breadth and  
depth of coverage no other publication can match.
