We are pleased to announce the launch of our first essay competition!
Our Essay Contest is designed to challenge our students and subscribers to become creative thinkers and to express their ideas and thoughts in Russian through the art of writing. To speak well without making too many mistakes, you need to write well. As this skill is always lagging behind, we decided to motivate development of this skill through essay competition.
