Knowledge of Russian is not necessary - our staff members speak fluent English. The policy towards foreigners under the communist regime did not allow them to see the real life of the Russian people, especially in the country. Foreigners were allowed to visit only such large

realization depends on volunteers' interest in Russian folklore heritage and concern with its preservation.
