Starting a Business in the Middle of a Family Crisis
|
Traditionally the Russian society assigns its members certain gender roles, even though men no longer are sole family providers and women’s lives do not revolve only around their home and children. However sometimes traditional gender expectations still lead to low self-esteem in women and impede their professional success. This is the main conclusion Irina R., a Tvoy Kurs alumna from Tambov, came to after she completed her Tvoy Kurs and IT for Business training and, overcoming her uncertainty, doubts and fears, finally came into her own and started her own bakery and confectionary shop.

And I know the world is mine
Just as long as I’m online!

Thanks to European Get Online Week, eighty-two-year-old folk singer Kseniya Petrunina from the Cossack village of Tepikinskaya has been able to find traditional wedding songs, lullabies and other Cossack folklore songs, enriching her own large repertoire. She will now perform new lullabies for young mothers, beautiful Cossack marching songs for draftees, and, hopefully, wedding songs for her yet unmarried grandchildren. Kseniya Petrunina is a firm believer in keeping and strengthening old Cossack traditions.
