One of our students is really brave! He has written a small review about the trip to Saint Petersburg in the Russian language. 

"Мне очень понравилось в Питере, хотя мы с другими студентами остались только два дня. Погода была хорошая и поэтому у нас была возможность посмотреть город спокойно. Только в воскресенье утром шел дождь, но не сильный. В Питере есть много достопримечательностей, находящихся близко друг от друга и это очень удобно туристам. К сожалению, мы не все осмотрели, но я уверен, что когда-нибудь вернусь туда. Там очень красиво!" - Andrea

"Being a volunteer changes you completely. When I first came to Enjoy Russian, I was a young girl full of expectations and eager to meet new people from different cultures. Now I am a traveler, a hitchhiker, a blogger and a future English and German teacher. My motto is more life in life. I learn languages, peculiarities about people’s culture and mentality. I am a rafting instructor and know quite a lot about the nature of Karelia. My biggest dream is to make a round-the-world trip by hitchhiking and prove that money is not an essential thing in travelling" - volunteer Yana

THE MYSTERY OF THE RUSSIAN SOUL
There are many myths about Russians. Let's see what do we have in real life!

Russians are anti-laughters

It is generally believed that Russians don’t smile a lot. That’s partly true, but it’s not because they’re not funny or happy or even rude. Unsmiling (неулыбчивость) is one of the most prominent national features of Russian communication.
1) They don’t smile at people for the sake of being “polite” because they consider this gesture weird and a waste of time. Such a “smile for being polite” can cause irritation and even alertness. Smiling doesn’t mean politeness.
2) Smiling at strangers is not accepted in Russia. But they will smile to their friends.
3) Russian will not always smile back at a person who smiles at him.
4) Russians usually don’t smile while performing their duties (customs officers, waiters, teachers, doctors etc.). They just being serious and concentrated!
5) Russians smile if they really feel like they want to smile or they have a strong reason for that.
6) Russian smile is believed to be sincere.
7) Russian smile at a person means good personal attitude to him.

Russian proverb and its English equivalent

Russian proverb: Семь раз отмерь, один раз отрежь.
English equivalent: Measure twice, cut once.

This idiom means that it is necessary to plan and prepare something carefully and accurately before taking action. The lack of judgment can lead to time wasting and you will have to do it again in order to achieve the desired result

We continue our posts about great Russian writes and their wives

The last and beloved wife of Dostoevsky was invited to his house as a stenographer. The writer had an idea to type his novel “Igrok” (Player) and for this purpose he was looking for an assistant. Stenography was a new thing and was not widespread at that time. But Anna Grygor'evna was the best one.
She counted herself fortunate to get the job and especially to get to know Dostoevsky. But at the first meeting she was a little disappointed with him. Later she told her mother that he had arisen complex and strong feeling of compassion, blank amazement and irrepressible carving for him. In fact she fell in love with Dostoevsky at once and even didn’t notice that.

While they were working together Dostoevsky was talking so much to her. Every time it was heart-to-heart talk. He became attached to the young girl. Finally he found his soul mate. Both were aggrieved when their work on the novel had ben finished. Dostoevsky decided not to lose Anna and proposed to her.
