Checked baggage: academic edition 📚

Every InteRussia fellow knows: the suitcase is a core part of the experience. It arrives in Russia packed for every possible scenario — and leaves packed even tighter. But no one does it quite like our Russian language fellows.

Year after year, they top the charts for suitcase volume. And it's not clothes or souvenirs — it’s books. Lots of books. We’ve never had a single fellow leave without at least one, and most leave with five, ten, fifteen… sometimes more.

Here’s just a glimpse of what they’ve taken home:

📘 Teaching Methods for Russian as Foreign Language
📗 Old Church Slavonic
📕 Lermontov’s Poems and Narrative Poems
📙 Chekhov’s Ward No. 6
📒 Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin

Security check: “Any liquids?”
Our fellows: “Just tears from overpacking Eugene Onegin.”
