The Russia Day came a bit late in Melbourne this year, which probably was a key for everyone to be present at the event. This time it was organised in one of the Melbourne University buildings. Built in 1888, the building used to be a former College of Victorian Teachers. But some 30 years ago right here was based the University of Melbourne Russian Language and Literature Department founded by Nina Christesen.
