Stanislav Chernyshov Visits the Department of Slavic Languages

From 30 September to 2 October 2026, the Department of Slavic Languages at Prague University of Economics and Business welcomed Stanislav Chernyshov, a specialist in teaching Russian as a foreign language and co-author of the well-known Poekhali! textbook series.

Stanislav Chernyshov has been teaching Russian at the University of Graz in Austria for many years. He has thirty years of experience in teaching Russian as a foreign language, developing teaching materials and training teachers. Alongside his academic work, he is involved in educational projects supporting Russian language learning and teaching.

His visit was connected with the course 2RU306 Russian without Filters: Advanced Level B2/C1, coordinated by Ing. Alena Pak. Stanislav Chernyshov specially prepared teaching materials for the course, enriching its content and offering students new perspectives on contemporary Russian.

The course explores authentic Russian in a variety of communicative contexts, from slang and internet language to media discourse and the language of propaganda. Students examine linguistic phenomena that often go beyond the scope of standard textbooks and learn to identify meanings, speakers’ attitudes and cultural contexts embedded in language.

Student feedback indicates that the course provided new insights and encouraged participants to look at contemporary Russian from a different perspective. Students particularly appreciated the engaging content, the original language materials and the stimulating presentation of the topics.

Those interested in further Russian language learning can also explore Stanislav Chernyshov’s educational projects, including Active Russian Grammar, an interactive platform for practising Russian grammar, and Stanislav Academy, which offers online Russian courses and educational programmes for teachers.

Stanislav Chernyshov’s visit contributed to the development of the course and further enriched Russian language teaching at the Department of Slavic Languages.
