Pushkin House
What Visitors Say
Russian Language Centre is located at Pushkin House, an excellent language school.
A nice lecture venue, but I expected much more social engagement with speaker (the bar was closed, and the lecturer ran away)
Great venue, central location. They organize many unique and engaging events throughout the year (some in English others in Russian). They also have a great bookshop.
Easy to find. Great selection of titles at the bookshop. Staff were friendly and the place was clean and cool - nice escape from the scorching sun outside last week!
A great place for inspiring talks and book promotions. Promoting Russian and Ukrainian cultures. A great selection of drinks in the bar, I recommend a Pravda shot either lemon juice.
