Current Events

6 April 2007: Uh, April Fools! Not really, but we have decided to move the picnic to Saturday the 14th instead. This Sunday is Easter, so people may have other weekend plans.
1 April 2007: Wow! It has been a long time since an update. We are trying to get the site moved to our cyberbuzz space, but they are not being very helpful. If you are on the mailing list, you haven't missed anything. Looking ahead, we are planning a picnic on the 7th at Lake Lanier. More information coming soon, so watch your inboxes.
24 August 2006: Updated the officers list. Welcome back!
19 April 2006: Thanks to everyone who made the Film Festival a success! Check the Events Archive for photos.
Next event: Russian Club picnic! It will be Tuesday the 25th from 6 to 8pm at the CRC volleyball courts (349 on the campus map). There will be food, drinks, and activities, so come help us close out the year before finals!
31 March 2006: The Film Festival section has been updated. One of the movies has been subsituted, and driving directions are now included. We hope to see you there next week!
28 February 2006: The dinner on Friday was a huge (~30 people) success! Thanks to everyone who attended. Check the Events Archive for a few photos. Coming soon: Elections this Wednesday, 6:00pm at Starbucks, to be followed by Russkiy Stol as usual. Come out to vote, then drink tea, play cards and/or chess, and chat in Russian. Also a new section of the site is in the works about the upcoming Film Festival in April.
5 February 2006: New section added about the GT Petersburg study abroad program! The deadline is 20 Feb. Email Prof. Goldberg for visa forms.
29 January 2006: Thanks to everyone who came out to the movie - hope you enjoyed it! There will be a Russkiy Stol (Russian Table) meeting at Starbucks 1 Feb. at 7pm. This will be a biweekly event where we can discuss anything and everything in Russian. Even if you're only studying Russian, come by and listen and participate as much as you can. It's good practice!
27 January 2006: There will be a Russian movie (probably Brat) shown (with subtitles) this Friday. Come watch it with us in IC 109 starting at 6:30pm. Movie description from the club email list: "The film follows the story of Danila, a nerdy young man, who visits his brother, a gangster, in Petersburg. There, Danila takes on his brother's responsibilities of crime. Watch the irony and surprise of someone so unimposing unfold in the underworld city of Petersburg."
17 January 2006: S Novym Godom! The first Russian Club meeting of the semester will be this Friday the 20th at 2:00pm in Student Center room 332.
Summer Program: The Russian Language Program in St. Petersburg will last six weeks from 22 May to 8 July. The classes will be conducted at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and there will be homestay accommodations. The trip will also include a 4-day excursion to Moscow and several other sight-seeing opportunities. Fees are $3860 (including airfare!) plus 7 credit hours of tuition.
