Russian Fresh: Made in the 90s

The 90s was a hard labour in the modern history of Russia when the economic stagnation and deterioration occurred, where people suffered the lack of money, food, basics, high technology embodied in computers, mobile phones and the high-speed Internet. Ironically, despite all that, many Russians who grew up in the post-perestroika would assert that they had lived in the “good times”.

Participants of “Made in the 90s” will travel in time to the 90s “bad and good times” to experience the Russian of 90s: playing Tetris, SEGA, Gummi Twist, watching the 90s comedies and action films and talking to Russians who grew up and survived the 90s.

After a 3-week winter course, participants will celebrate their linguistic achievements in conquering Russian language, enjoying the unique experience by traveling to Ekaterinburg and Kazan to be exposed to the social, cultural and financial contexts of soviet Russia, 90s Russia and today’s Russia.
