Shushenskoye village
Visit Lenin’s places and traditional Siberian village in the south of Siberia
The best way to learn Russian language in Russia is language and cultural immersion. That is why we invite you to join this trip. In the south of Siberia, in the heart of Siberian cultural life there is Shushenskoye village. In Soviet times this place was known as a “Lenin’s place”, because Vladimir Lenin and his wife Nadezdha Krupskaya were sent there by the Russian Empire government to exile.
The house where they lived and the place around it were firstly made into the museum of Lenin’s exile. Then the museum became a Новая деревня (New Village complex).
So during your stay in this village you can feel like a real “Сибиряк” (Siberian) of the 19th century. There are 8 typical Siberian estates of the 19th century built using the real house plans with the real stuff inside. Moreover all of these houses are quite comfortable for tourists to stay.
Every July Shushenskoye becomes the center of Ethno music and culture because of the festival called "Music and Crafts of Siberia".
During this trip you can also visit Саяно-Шушенская ГЭС (Sayan hydropower electro station)

Review of Joshua (Sweden)
I did a three-week intensive course at the school during my Christmas holiday and it was a really great experience.
Tatyana is a great teacher who really has a passion for teaching Russian and the small classes were perfect for quickly improving my spoken Russian. Her and the rest of the staff at the school were very helpful and they did their best to make sure I had a nice stay in Krasnoyarsk. They even arranged extra activities for me to experience life in Krasnoyarsk and practice Russian outside of the classroom.
The school is centrally located and Krasnoyarsk is a small city so you can easily walk everywhere. Don’t be scared by the Siberian cold! Krasnoyarsk is a great winter destination with lots of winter sports activities and My Russian is a great choice if you want to quickly improve your Russian.

Jag gick en 3-veckors intensivkurs på My Russian och det var en mycket positiv upplevelse!
Tatjana är en passionerad lärare som brinner för att undervisa i ryska. Tack vare de små grupperna (vi var 3 personer i min grupp) kunde jag se en snabb förbättring i min muntliga framförande på ryska. Tatjana och resten av gänget på skolan var väldigt omtänksamma och såg till att jag hade en riktigt trevlig vistelse i Krasnojarsk. De arrangerade till och med extra aktiviteter på kvällarna så att jag kunde uppleva livet i Krasnojarsk och öva min ryska i praktiska situationer.
Skolan är centralt belägen i Krasnojarsk och det går att ta sig runt staden till fots. Var inte skrämd av den sibiriska kylan! Det finns gott om vinteraktiviteter i Krasnojarsk: skridskoåkning, skidåkning, vandring i Stolby naturreservat, eller varför inte ta ett dopp i floden Jenisej? Kort sagt, My Russian är ett utmärkt val om du vill gå en intensivkurs i ryska och uppleva livet i Sibirien!
