Russian Club

The Bowdoin Russian Club is dedicated to the mission of getting students excited about Russian history, culture, music, cinema, dance, literature, and food. Russian Club members learn together, socialize together, and have fun. All students are welcome to attend Club events; there is no requirement that members be of Russian family origin or take Russian classes.
