About Putnik School

Putnik School

Your Guide to the World of Russian Language & Culture

We turn learning a complex language into an exciting journey where every step has meaning. From "Privet" to deep conversations.

Why Putnik?

At Putnik School, our mission is to make the Russian language accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful. We believe language learning should be warm, inspiring, and practical — not overwhelming.

The Fear

"Is Russian grammar and cases too scary?"

The Solution

We explain the logic.

No mindless cramming. We show you how the language thinks, making cases click naturally.

The Boredom

"Are textbooks dry and boring?"

The Solution

Real life, real vibes.

We learn through real-life situations, memes, and modern culture. Not 1990s dialogues.

The Barrier

"Afraid to speak out loud?"

The Solution

A Safe Space.

Mistakes are part of growth. We create a relaxed environment where you feel safe to speak.

Our Story

Hello! I'm Rosti, founder of Putnik School.

I am a professional foreign language teacher with over 6 years of experience teaching Russian. But my journey wasn't always straightforward.

Before I started teaching Russian, I didn't fully appreciate the beauty of my own native language or the depth of the "Russian Soul." It was only when I began seeing it through the eyes of my students that I fell in love with its logic and richness.

Teaching on various platforms, I realized a common problem: fear. Many students were overwhelmed by complex grammar tables and outdated methods. I decided to change that. I found the "key" — a perfect balance between structure and freedom, allowing you to start speaking from day one.
