Students in Murom
April 25, 2012 at 1:27 pmOur excursion to the cities of Vladimir, Suzdal, and Murom included visiting the Murom Institute Branch of Vladimir State University and interacting with the students there. Our trip allowed us to see how Russians live outside of Moscow, and the students at Murom gave us an interesting perspective to compare with our studies and lives at Carleton and in the United States.

Modern Iconography
April 16, 2012 at 12:58 pmSophie and Mary stumble across Dmitry Gutov's exhibit at the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art. His work so directly relates to the culture and history of Russian iconography that we've been studying and seeing in Moscow, that we felt compelled to share our observations!
