About Us

The Princeton University Russian Club initiated a new chapter in its history with a club re-organization in January 2000. The aim of the club is to provide a forum for discussion of Russia-related topics in the social sciences and arts as well as to facilitate access to aspects of Russian culture. Spring 2000 semester plans include weekly language tables, bi-weekly food and film events, lectures, and discussion groups, trips to several museum exhibits, participation in the Princeton University International Festival, and a trip to Brighton Beach, the Russian emigre community in New York City. The club welcomes anyone interested in any aspect of Russia and does not require language proficiency.
