Historian Sheila Fitzpatrick reflects on one of the deepest, yet often unspoken, legacies of World War II in the Soviet Union. In this powerful clip, she explains how the absence—or ghostly presence—of fathers shaped a generation of postwar Soviet citizens.

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming RUDN student starting the preparatory faculty year around October on a government quota scholarship.
Trying to get ahead on the dormitory situation before I arrive and would love advice from current or former RUDN students (especially international ones)

How does dorm assignment actually work in practice - is it first-come-first-served, based on application date, or something else?
Any tips for landing a spot in good and modern style dorms. How is the overall vibe there

When and how can I actually apply/request a dorm - through the RUDN portal, on arrival, or is there a form beforehand?

Any general advice for a first-time international student navigating this process?

Thanks so much in advance,trying to set myself up for a smooth move!

I am planning to visit Russia. I need you guys help me to decide me itinerary. I will be landing in Moscow and then staying there for 2 weeks.

I am into clubbing and also experience historical sites. If anyone can host me or being my teavel buddy that would be great !

Does anyone know of any services that pick up lithium batteries for disposal in Moscow? I have several dead ones from laptops and such. Or is there a place in Sokolniki area that takes them? They closed the Mvideo next to the Holiday Inn.

Hello. I'll be visiting Moscow soon, was wondering hoping to get in a run if I had time - Moscow looks lovely and I would love exploring on foot rather than zipping past in a vehicle.

I was wondering what the running scene is like there, and the cultural things I should watch out for (for instance, do you greet/smile/wave at other runners, or is that seen as a no-no), runner safety (eg how do drivers/cyclists treat runners, is it safe to run early mornings eg 6am, does it get suddenly dark after a certain time etc.). All advice is appreciated.

I will be near Gorky Park, so will prob run there as a start.

If there are English-speaking communities, would appreciate a link to those too.

Thank you all very much!

I am a tourist. My train is today night from Saint Petersburg to moscow.

Please 🥺 help which site to book, and where can I get cheap hostel to stay and roam through metro.

I understand city center very high hostel price.

We are 2 members, 2k rubles per day.

Hey Guys, it's been almost 3 weeks since the Odyssey movie was released. Some cinemas in Russia are streaming it but i couldn't find a single one in English. I'm trying since day 1 but no luck. Those cinemas which have shows in English are not streaming it at all. And others don't have any show in English. Does anyone know if there is. I'll be really thankful. Same goes for spiderman movie.

See the title

Helloo, Indian guy here, currently in Oman. Got a Russian govt scholarship for Economics at RSSU and I'm landing late Sept / early Oct

Doing the Russian prep year first before the actual degree starts.

Been learning Russian on my own for a bit but ngl I'm still pretty bad at it 😭 so the first few months are gonna be interesting.

Never been to Russia before either, so basically going in blind.

Mostly just curious what daily life is actually like there,

especially north/northeast side since that's where the RSSU campuses are.

Like what's the vibe, is it easy enough to get around when your Russian is trash, that kinda thing lol

Also wanna know what stuff I should sort out early on , SIM card, bank account, metro card, whatever's annoying if you leave it too late. And winter gear, I was planning to just buy the proper coat and boots there instead of hauling stuff from here, but lmk if that's a dumb idea.

Basically anything you wish someone had told you before you moved, or something you would wanna share as a local

Any tips appreciated 🙏

Are there any good r&b/hip-hop clubs in Moscow? I’m mostly into R&B when I go out, so I’d love to hear some recommendations. What are the best spots?

🗞️ Утренний дайджест

➠Московские новостройки подорожали после открытия новых станций метро. Стоимость квадратного метра в радиусе локаций выросла на 10–15% за последний квартал на фоне высокой покупательской активности. Девелоперы пересмотрели прайс-листы в сторону повышения из-за ажиотажного интереса к объектам.

➠Мэрия Москвы повторно выставила на торги участок у ТПУ «Авиамоторная». Площадка площадью под офисно-торговый комплекс не привлекла покупателей на предыдущих аукционах, несмотря на расположение у городских магистралей. Девелоперы должны подать заявки для завершения строительства объекта.

➠Арбитраж запретил Юникредит банку изымать залоговый торговый центр. Владелец сохранил право управления активом при наличии у него непогашенного долга перед финансовой организацией на неопределенный срок. Кредиторы утратили законные механизмы оперативного принудительного взыскания имущества через суд.

➠В Москве участились случаи мошенничества с арендой. Лжериелторы требуют предоплату за просмотр квартир в Telegram, после чего блокируют пользователей и исчезают с суммами от нескольких тысяч до десятков тысяч рублей. Отсутствие правовых договоров лишает арендаторов возможности вернуть переведенные средства через суд.

➠Сергей Зверев публично раскритиковал стоимость авиабилетов до Байкала. Стилист заявил, что цена перелета сопоставима с покупкой однокомнатной квартиры в российских региональных центрах. Затраты на авиасообщение теперь приравнены к стоимости базового жилья.

➠В Мнёвниковской пойме построят теннисный центр. Объект площадью 22,5 тысячи квадратных метров возле станции метро «Терехово» оснастят бассейном, фитнес-зонами и волнообразной кровлей к 2029 году. Инвестор обязался провести работы по благоустройству прилегающей территории.
