That eventually found its natural continuation in an after Gala party.
What different participants have to say about the ISSRB (the material is UNCENSORED):
Julia Kotlyar:
University of Michigan, USA
The International Summer School in Russian Business is a great experience for anyone and everyone with any desire to understand the Russian Economy and Business Environment today. The program provides you with the essential knowledge you need to understand about Russian markets both currently and historically while providing you with the background and the experience of seeing all of the history of the Russian culture through one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Paulina Drezewska:
Warsaw Business School, Poland
Paulina was quite short. Her message is GO FOR IT!!!
Christine Zochbauer:
University of Linz, Austria
Just do it, it is an experience you will never forget.
Alexandra Ariman
Cardiff University, UK
The program gives more insight into the life in Russia and its economy than an organized package tour. You have to experience it!!!
Roberto Mengozzi
University of Nottingham, UK
It is a great experience because there is so much to know about this country. The course is very well organized and lecturers are very prepared so that even the most demanding person can be satisfied. Furthermore, there is so much to do in the spare time in addition to organized activities. It is an experience worth it!!!
Alexandra Kossowski
Cardiff University, UK
Do it! You won�t get a better chance to learn first hand about Russia and experience one of the most beautiful cities in Europe I think that the ISSRB is definitely worth doing, not only because of the studies, but also because of the cultural and social exchange taking place during those 2 weeks. I learned a lot and was able to experience St. Petersburg in a different way than I would have done as an ordinary tourist. It definitely gave me a taste of Russia and broadened my horizon regarding Eastern European business.
