Women’s Day in Russia
On March 8th, we usually talk about interesting women and how this holiday is celebrated in Russia. Today, we have prepared a new video about an amazing woman - Nadezhda Lamanova, a fashion designer who dressed aristocrats before the revolution and Soviet women after it. Watch the video (B1) ‘Надежда Ламанова’ in the “Traditions and History” section.
Listen to our material (A2) ‘Праздник 8 Марта в России’ in the “Extra Material” section to learn about how this holiday came to be and how it has transformed over time. You can also purchase worksheets with the full text and exercises for this audio material in our store. You can preview them here.
In the same section, we would like to remind you that there is material for B1-B2 level (audio and PDF) ‘Гендерные праздники в России’.
