Elena Shchepina

[Jason Merrill]

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Elena 
Nikolaevna Shchepina in St. Petersburg on Saturday. After teaching in 
the Norwich Russian School for many years, Elena taught in the 
Middlebury Russian School from 2001-2010, where she led our Advanced 
Russian course and contributed great energy and enthusiasm to the 
program every year. She will be sorely missed by the many colleagues and 
students who have had the good fortune to work with her.

Condolences can be sent to the Middlebury Russian School, and we will 
send them on when we have proper contact information. The email address 
is schoolofrussian at middlebury.edu 
<mailto:schoolofrussian at middlebury.edu>. We are planning a memorial 
service for Elena at the Russian School next summer and hoping to create 
a scholarship in her name to support the study of Russian at the 
advanced level.


Sincerely,
Jason Merrill
