On two Wednesdays in March and April of 2024, the Russian Club hosted кабачок (Tavern) and Conversation Meetings at the Hardware Bar & Restaurant in Greenville.

Russian faculty and students gathered to break bread and enjoy Russian conversation about the culture and language.

The text in the above the illustration in the flyer reads “Кто умен, а кто дурак! Один за книгу, другой в кабак.” Translated from Russian to English, the text reads “Who is smart, and who is a fool! One goes for a book, the other to the tavern.”
