One thing that helps me stay immersed in Russian culture – well, as immersed as possible without moving to Russia – is going to Russian cultural events. Now I have to admit, I had never heard of Мумий Тролль (Mumiy Troll or The Mummies’ Troll) before finding out about this concert, but I think it is going to be a lot of fun. Мумий Тролль is supposedly one of the most popular rock bands in Russia – well, let’s see how they do in the US! Check out their site to see if they’re playing near you. http://www.mumiytroll.com/en 

“You don’t need to be able to read Cyrillic to understand this Russian band—a fluency in groovy post-punk and edgy guitar rock is all that’s required. The foursome, based in Vladivostok and Moscow, fires off sparkling pop songs that keep its young chainsmoking fans dancing.” – The New Yorker, January 26, 2009
