YES, THERE IS A DED MOROZ, VIRGINIA… AND CALIFORNIA, AND NORTH DAKOTA… Russian Life magazine is happy to announce that, due to generous sponsorship from the Russkiy Mir Foundation, the magazine will be distributed FREE to thousands of U.S. students of the Russian language in 2009. Since 2002, Russian Life’s Education Patrons Program has enabled the free distribution to students of Russian at some 80 U.S. high schools and universities. For five years, the Program has been funded by private donations from current Russian Life subscribers. The Program seeks to support and invigorate study of Russian by using the magazine as a valuable source of current, objective information about Russian culture, history and life. The Russkiy Mir Foundation sponsorship offers the opportunity to RADICALLY expand this program to reach EVERY interested high school and college in the country (and to remove our previous restriction of only 6 copies per institution!). In addition, each issue of the magazine distributed to schools will include a special, eight-page language-learning insert, “Uchites,” which uses content from the current issue of the magazine as a launching point for building vocabularly and language skills. To receive the free issues for a year, schools merely need to: (1) register and/or confirm their school’s data online, and
(2) agree to complete a survey on the program’s effectiveness later in the year. To find out if your school is already set to participate, simply visit this page on the Russian Life website:
http://www.russianlife.com/educpatr2.cfm institutions listed in RED are confirmed and will be receiving magazines. institutions listed in BLACK must confirm their data, and a representative of that school should contact Russian Life off-list ( orders@russianlife.com) to receive a link to update their data. U.S. institutions NOT on the list should also contact Russian Life by email to receive instructions how to add their data to our database.
The new, expanded free distribution of Russian Life begins with the Mar/Apr 2009 issue. Please act now to ensure you are included! Russian Life magazine, with a publication history dating back to 1956, is a colorful, insightful look at life as it is lived in Russia today. Russian Life is a privately-owned, fiercely independent magazine that features quality journalism, amazing photography and a breadth and depth of coverage no other publication can match.
