1 week 2024 Learn Russian through the Constitution of the Soviet Union

I am a student at the Åbo Akademi University in Finland. I participated in a one-week-long intensive course titled "Learn Russian through the Constitution of the Soviet Union".

This course proved to be one of the most interesting educational experiences I've encountered during my studies of the Russian language. The course was conducted via Zoom, where instructions and communication with the instructor were consistently clear. Throughout the week, I found myself fully immersed in the subject matter, exploring both the language environment of the Soviet constitution and actively participating in discussions. The diverse group of participants, hailing from various countries, added richness to the course as their comments reflected their own studies and personal knowledge.

I would like to thank the instructor of the course, Ms. Aliona Shestakova-Stukun. Not only is she an expert in teaching the Russian language, but her insights into the text and cultural nuances greatly enhanced our learning experience. Overall, Aspirantum, through this course, provided a unique opportunity for personal growth and academic enrichment.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their perspectives and embrace diversity in their educational journey, especially those studying the Russian language.

“What an incredible course! This was a fantastic overview of the 1977 Soviet constitution. Using more formal language is a more challenging Russian text for me, but Aliona made sure we both understood the new words and the context in which we are meant to use them.”
