Why is a student from Bolivia learning Russian? (VIDEO)
"I was very afraid of the Russians, but they turned out to be very kind," Melania admits.
Melania Lema started learning Russian back in her homeland, at the Russian Language Institute in La Paz. She's been studying for a whole year. "I was very nervous, but wanted it to be easier for me to study in Russia," she recalls. Melania has been in Russia for a year now — she enrolled in the MISIS University in the field of business informatics.
