I, Lavanova Galina, 77, have been teaching Russian to language students all my life. For those who seriously want to know Russian, I am the benchmark for standard literary Russian.

During my life I have three degrees as a pianist, as a teacher of Russian language and literature and an MA in English philology. In the process of working on my education, I realised that knowledge is not only power, but also authority. Good luck to all my students.
