🗓 August Newsletter This August, we focused on what matters most when building a new life in another country: finding your community, learning the language, and discovering new opportunities to grow and thrive in Russia — brought to life through real stories and experiences. 🕍 Arzamas & Diveyevo Blog Tour Together with our international blogger guests, we explored some of Russia’s most significant Orthodox Christian sites and had the privilege of attending a Divine Liturgy celebrated by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus. 🤝 Finding Your Community in a New Country We shared practical insights on building meaningful connections after relocation and highlighted how the OKA Agency community helps newcomers find their place and integrate into their new society. 🗣 Russian: The First Step Toward Integration We introduced our Russian-language courses for adults, delivered in partnership with Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod (NGLU). The first cohort has already begun — stay tuned for updates on the next enrollment. 🌾 A Relocation Story The Monson family from the United States relocated to Russia and continues to develop their agricultural business here — a powerful real-life example of how it is possible to build on your experience and pursue your calling in a new country. 🎓 A Deep Dive into Education We explored higher education and professional retraining opportunities in Russia, with first-hand insights provided directly by representatives of Lobachevsky University. In September, we turn our focus to personal fulfillment and career opportunities in Russia.
