Volga Dream Educational Series
Ludmila Selezneva
Professor
Having been a speaker aboard the Volga Dream for many years, I have been asked so many questions about Russia. Our guests have a wide variety of interests, from history and politics to art and social life. Along with Volga Dream, I have compiled answers to some of the more frequently asked questions in this series of short video presentations. Our aim is to cover a few of the most fascinating topics to give you a glimpse of some aspects of Russian culture and to reveal the forgotten or little known episodes in Russia’s intriguing history.
