    It is the name of the peninsula on the Volga river branch. Right, it comes from the fish called 'sazan'.

Conducting it in English would open up doors for non Russian speaking people interested in attending.

    Sorry, I believe the school will be effective only for Russian-speaking. Lectures, many problems will be in Russian.

Would it be efficient if I am in a team with guys who can speak Russian. I myself can't but I have friends who can. Would I be with my team in all activities and in that way get translation of everything? Thanks in advance :)
