The Russian-American Journalism Institute--a joint program of Rostov State University and New York University--brings together educators, journalists and advanced students from Russia and the United States to exchange ideas about how journalism is practiced and taught in both countries. Read more about us in English or in Russian.
This is a slightly revised version of the RAJI site for 2006; previous years are available on the original site.

Many young Russian people in Rostov-on-Don like to gather at a club called Podzemka (which translates into “underground”). The piercing festival is just one of the many events in which they find ways to express themselves. As this video shows, each has his own opinion about what piercing represents. Daria and Anastasia were on location to capture the event.
Clean cut, straight A’s, conservative - these are my stereotypes when I think of the Boy Scouts.
Some members of Union of Rostov Artists say that perestroika changed their lives: they say it’s the worst thing that could have happened to them.
Russia is definitely not the country to come to if you harbor any insecurities about your bulging thighs or pudgy stomach. Women here seem to wake up perfectly tousled, ready for a night on the town, even at noon on a Tuesday. Americans are not so lucky, or at least not these two, who have spent the last week stuffing their faces with Russian sweets as they scan the eye-candy of Russian women that populate the streets here in Rostov.
Ruthie and I tagged along to watch two of our colleagues, Dasha and Nastia, report on a story about a piercing festival in the Selmash region of Rostov.
