On October 7, the Russian House in Lusaka took another group of curious young people on a virtual trip to the city of Samara!
Samara lies on the banks of the Volga River, one of the symbols of Russia, affectionately called by Russians as Mother Volga. So, it came as no surprise that we began our sightseeing tour along the beautiful Volga embankment.
A visit to Samara State Medical University was also high on the agenda.
Participants learned about the variety of programmes available to international students and explored the opportunities the university offers to future medical professionals.
No trip to Samara would be complete without a visit to the Samara Cosmos Museum and the Samara Arena, which hosted matches during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
But the cherry on top was our virtual visit to the village of Shiryaevo, famous for its annual Cherry Pie Festival!
Memorable, educational and fun — that’s how we would describe this Culture Corner journey!
And where will our next virtual trip take us? Stay tuned and join us to make your own discoveries of Russia!
