Well, I'm in charge at exchange programmes in this part of Russia. Our programmes have very distinctive goals. The first very important goal is for Russians to learn the truth about America. What America is behind what they see on television and in the films. The second, even more important goal is for Americans to learn about Russians, to learn what real Russians are, beyond the stereotypes. So the programmes are mostly about breaking the stereotypes, and preparing new generations of young Russians and Americans to live in a future world. I see it as a way of building a new bridge between the two countries. We have a great men in applicants for each vacancy. Of course in order to study in the United States some knowledge of English is required. So we're looking for good students of English. But that is not the only criterion. There are several important criteria: ability to speak English, ability to adopt to a very different way of life, and ability to make friends easily and to represent your country. I would say you need to be flaxible, outgoing, you need to have a good sense of humour. If we take the starting point of the Russian - American exchange programmes, I must add note that there was very little exchange between our two countries during the Soviet period. During the Soviet period a very limited number of Americans came to Russia, mostly to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. But almost no Russians were able to go to the States. These days it's the opposite situation. Many more Russians go to America to study or under the proffesional exchange programmes. The programmes are very successful. Their desire to know more about the States is an important reason why students decide to participate in the programme, and in fact they do learn a lot about America, and bring this knowledge back with them to Russia in order to build a better future in their own country. We'd like to think that they're taking all of the good things they learn in the States and trying to apply them to life here in Russia. Well, of course there are problems. We often say that students going to America feel like they're on a different planet, everything is so different, the way Americans eat, sleep, work and all of their various leisure activities are so different. So, there are some problems at adaptation, especially with those students living with host families. People living in a new family need to get used to one another. But I think the programmes are tremendously positive for both the countries. Americans get to see the real Russia. In the Soviet period I think they had no idea what the real Russia and real Russians were like. And the Russian children learn about the real America. Both the good and the bad. And they apply that knowledge when they return to Russia.
