Comments from Michael Scott, who traveled through the
length of Russia after our Russian 10 class of 1998:
The Russian 10 class sure paid off as it
enriched my experience of Russia and its people. Of
the nine people in my group, only the guide and I spoke
Russian, and the language came in very handy for everyday
communication, including meeting people, on the train,
eating out or purchasing gifts.
