Any advice or resources about Russian for academics/professionals in the field of foreign affairs? Здравствуйте! Are there any Russian teachers on italki experienced in teaching academics and/or professionals working in the field of foreign affairs? Or do you have any advice on where is the best place to go to get some practice in these areas, or resources that could help? I would like to develop my Russian vocabulary as it relates to foreign affairs, politics and international relations. I have a beginner level of Russian already (about A2) and would like to be able to read newspaper articles about political situations and understand the vocabulary a little better. The reason for this is that I am commencing my doctorate in International Politics in November and my research focuses on Russia to some extent. Спасибо!
