Discover the world of the Russian language and culture with Katya and Masha!
The hosts of the podcast, Katya and Masha, talk about issues and problems relevant to the Russian-speaking space that you won't find in regular textbooks. How did Soviet pioneers spend their summers? What stereotypes exist about Belarusians? Where else, besides Russia, is Russian spoken? Who are 'gopniki'? How to have an argument in Russian? You'll learn about all of this in our podcast 'Not Russian Russian'!
How the podcast 'Not Russian Russian' is organized
Every week, we release a new episode of the podcast on major podcast platforms. We touch on social, cultural, and language topics that can be helpful for anyone learning Russian and wanting to better understand our region. We want our podcast not only to assist you in learning Russian but also to provide a different perspective on various aspects of Russian culture, history, and the lives of Russian language speakers.
Why we created the 'Not RussianRussian' podcast
In our podcast, we talk not only about Russia but also about other countries where Russian is spoken. We explore the sociocultural peculiarities of the entire post-Soviet region. That's why we chose the name 'Not Russian Russian. Through the topics of our episodes, we aim to supplement your existing knowledge about Russia and other countries in our region. We hope that we help you understand more about all Russian-speaking countries and their cultures.
