How much of what you think you know about Russians actually comes from films, history books and internet stereotypes? Are they really as serious as they're often portrayed? Do they all drink vodka? Are they naturally tough, deeply artistic, emotionally reserved? Or somehow all of those at once? Join ICEX, an award-winning Russian sound designer who has lived and worked around the world, for a lively discussion separating myth from reality. Together, we'll explore not just Russian culture, but the uniquely Russian way of thinking, communicating and seeing the world through the eyes of someone who's spent years answering the same curious questions.

Along the way, you'll pick up some useful Russian words and expressions, discover how the language reveals the culture behind it, and explore everything from humour and friendship to family, work and everyday life. Why do Russians sometimes seem so direct? What do they value most? Which stereotypes contain a grain of truth, and which are complete fiction? No topic is off limits, and no previous knowledge is needed. Whether you're fascinated by languages, travel, history or simply love discovering how other people see the world, this session will challenge assumptions, spark great conversations and open the door to one of the world's richest and most misunderstood cultures.
