What do you plan to do with your fluency in Russian?
After my previous experiences living and studying abroad, I have devoted myself to strengthening cross-cultural ties, and I would like to pursue a career that allows me to interact and foster further cooperation among nations and peoples.
What attracted you to the PSU Russian Flagship?
The defining feature of the PSU Russian Flagship for me, the one that cemented my decision to chose this path, is the devotion and passion for the study of Russian language that not only the students but also the professors show. Without such a strong and supportive network of students and professors, it would be difficult to make the progress that I have.
What’s the best aspect of being in the PSU Russian Flagship?
As I touched on above, the best aspect of the PSU Russian Flagship programme is the strong and enduring relationships that develop between the professors and students.
Why is fluency in Russian important to you?
Being able to communicate effectively in the Russian-speaking world is important for me as I want to have an active career within the former Soviet space.
