This year marks the 20th anniversary of my first trip to the Soviet Union. Actually it was my first trip anywhere across the Atlantic or Pacific oceans for that matter.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of my first trip to the Soviet Union. Actually it was my first trip anywhere across the Atlantic or Pacific oceans for that matter. I had been fortunate to attend a public high school in New York with a Russian language program which later inspired me to major in Russian studies in college. I came from a family of modest financial means, but realized early on if I wanted to make a go of Russian, I would need to spend some time on the ground. So, I sacked away all my summer job funds to join a study abroad program.
