On March 30th, the outstanding
American writer, journalist and public figure Mark Twain visited our
school...
Of course, every student knows that this is impossible - the writer died
back in 1910. But it was impossible to believe that it was an actor: a Mark
Twain impersonator. Mr. Ken Richter has been impersonating the writer
for 30 years telling about Mark Twain’s life to adults and students in the
USA, Canada, and Europe.
We were all so fortunate: we not only listened to the interesting stories on
Mark Twain's life, but could also ask the actor-writer various questions. It
turned out to be another meeting in a format of "100 Questions to the Adult".
We learnt that the writer was not the best student at school, that his own
favourite character was Huckleberry Finn, and he wants to get acquainted
with modern star Britney Spears! Ken Ritcher was really surprised by the
question asked by Mia Andzhelich (Grade 8A) whether "it is true that
according to Mark Twain the coldest winter is a summer in San Francisco?"
Mia read about it a week ago when she was visiting San Francisco. The actor
said he was glad that our students have a great possibility to travel all
over the world.
In the conclusion, all those interested could be photographed with Ken
Ritcher/Mark Twain.
Thanks a lot to US Embassy for this wonderful possibility to meet the
famous writer and this well known actor!

Slavic-Anglo-American School "Marina"
(SAAS "Marina")SAAS "Marina" is a foreign lanquage school that opened its doors for the first time in September 1990. (Official registration date is January 31, 1991).
The school consists of three levels: elementary-, middle- and high-school. These cover the total range of a regular Russian school, from ages six to seventeen (grades 1 to 11).
Students beginning at the elementary level are able to follow the program through to its completion. Therefore, it is possible to enter at that level and remain in the regular program for eleven years.
Older students entering at the intermediate or upper levels, who have little or no language background, spend one year in an immersion or preparatory group ("courses or supplemental school"). They are then mainstreamed into the regular program.
