I don't think there is anything quite like it that exists in Russia. And the people here have a sense of purpose like nowhere etse.· As far as the similarities in students, SUIIIIER TEACHERS: Mikhail M. Bouniaev and Alla Paroyatnikova. Paroyatnikova says that the basic link lies in attitude toward the community, "The students here in Utah are so involved with the community. And I think it has to do with the Monnon culture being so strong, where everyone feels so tied to the family and community-its a lot like Russia really: One basic educational difference that Bouniaev sees in the SU courses he teaches is the way the students _ feel about teaming. "The students I have now really want to leam, and It is so refreshing as an instructor to teach students who want to absorb m a t ~ e d is the wot'd.
