For Aleksandr Furlan, ITMO is literally more than a university! 🇮🇹

It’s a return to his roots, a linguistic journey, and the thrill of a frozen-lake plunge. Here’s him sharing his favorite new expression in Russian:

“Ни пуха ни пера!” (“Neither fur nor feather!”) – it’s how Russians say “Good luck!” before exams. The reply is “К чёрту!” (“To the devil!”), which always cracks me up. It reminds me of our Italian version: “In bocca al lupo” (“In the mouth of the wolf”), to which we reply “Crepi il lupo!” (“May the wolf die!”).


Russian saunas, fairytale towns, and pancakes – find more of Aleksandr’s Russian adventures in the full interview 👈
