Clemson's Russian-American Study Abroad Program

(Slideshow Below) Last weekend, Ashley Sutton took one of our Clemson students and another professor to one of Moscow's most scenic venues, Tsaritsyno Palace (pronounced like Czar-it-seeno). This beautiful palace was built for Czarina Catherine the Great so she could have a home in Moscow, since she lived in St. Petersburg. Sadly, it was not finished before she passed away and was never completely finished until the early 2000s when the mayor of Moscow provided millions to complete the project. A wise investment!

If you want to get in the New Year's mood in Russian-style, watch the New Year's Russian classic, Irony of Fate (with English subtitles) at this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVpmZnRIMKs&wide=1

If you decide to watch, the opening of the movie is animated for a couple of minutes but just enjoy the music and the movie will begin soon after... it is a great movie so I strongly suggest it for anyone. Some American critics compare this movie to the 1960 American classic, "The Apartment," with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon. Many Russians watch this movie every year during their New Year's Celebrations.
