The first snow in Moscow inspired the mgu-russian.com students
to take pictures of the wonderful view of the snow-covered city.
One should take the most impressive picture, it doesn't really
matter what is there on it, only Moscow and snow are a must. The prize is... oh, no, it's
a secret yet. The best photos are coming soon in "About Russian", so you will be able to vote for a photo you like in the forum on our web-site. If you ever have been to Moscow and seen
the snow, feel free to send your photos and get a prize!
Who was Vladimir Mayakovsky?
Last Sunday the students of the Russian language centre had an excursion to the
museum of Vladimir Mayakovsky. This poet of XX century is widely known for his
revolutionary verse that flooded Russian language with neologisms and… for his
passionate love to a woman named Lilia Brick. Lilia Brick was as well-known as
Mayakovsky himself. Their love was just like an obsession. It played a big
part in his poetry, life and death. The exhibition caused a controversy about Russian
literature and Mayakovsy's place in it. Opinions differed - one part of students
thought that Mayakovsky was a genius; another - that he was just a rude bumpkin.
