In the third and final batch of winter leisure recommendations from interns of the HSE University website team, Sofa recommends a popular flea market in the eastern part of the city, while Sofiya talks about where to enjoy imperial Russian architecture and the quietness of a natural park at the same time.

This autumn, six HSE University students helped develop the HSE University portal, including the Life in Moscow website. All of them study at the School of Foreign Languages in Moscow. At the end of their internship, we asked the participants to share some of their favourite places to spend leisure time, do sports, and have fun in the wintry Russian capital. Below, Diana and Mary talk about a secret photo booth and invite everyone to attend a free Christmas play performed in English.

HSE University is home to international students from all over the world, many of whom will be celebrating the New Year in Russia for the first time. They shared their plans for the festive season with the HSE News Service and spoke about holiday traditions and dishes in their home countries of China, Ecuador, Pakistan, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Guatemala, and India.

In his column in HSE Look, Victor Attila Albert, Assistant Professor at Public Policy Department, Faculty of Social Sciences, talks about exploring Russian cities. 

Moscow is one of the northernmost megacities in the world. Tim Jaekel, Assistant Professor at the School of Public Administration, is sharing some tips on how to handle the winter here.

In addition to interviews with international faculty members The HSE Look launches a new format – a column on how they discover different cities and interesting venues in university and beyond.
