We want to share what we learned regarding our own stereotypes about the Russian people. We invite you to talk about stereotypes and the media’s influence on how we perceive each other.

The best way to get positive attention, is to act positive. If we make fun of the mighty powers, they will shrink down to their real small size – and the world can be changed.
