What we offer:
– 120 in-class hours of Russian language
– Series of lectures devoted to the current political and cultural development of Russia by prominent scholars in the area – mini courses are taught both in Russian and English
– Excursions in Tallinn, and trips to Helsinki and Riga
– Credits may be arranged via colleges individually   
– 6 weeks in beautiful and friendly Tallinn

Place: Tallinn, Estonia
When: June 10 – July 19, 2024
