Russian Classic Literature Date
Immerse yourselves in the world of Russian classic literature while enjoying the warmth and comfort of a traditional Moscow café.
- Kick off your date by heading to a used bookstore to pick out a classic piece of Russian literature, such as a novel by Dostoevsky or Pushkin. This gives you both an activity to do and a topic of conversation. After buying your books, head to a traditional Moscow café.
- The café is a charming place, with the scent of brewing coffee filling the air and creating a cozy atmosphere. You'll settle down in a quiet corner and delve into your books, occasionally glancing up to share interesting excerpts, thoughts, or to exchange smiles.
- After a while, start discussing the story and characters. Share your points of view and listen to your partner's impressions as well. You'll appreciate not only the book itself but also the depth of your conversation, which will bring you closer together. Natural light dimming outside, you'll fall for each other a little bit more with each words exchanged.
Preparation steps:
- Search online for bookstores that sell classic Russian literature. Some places even have English translations if you'd like to broaden your options. Also, find a cozy, traditional café near the bookstore.
- Look up quick summaries or basic information about classic Russian authors and their works. This way, you will be familiar with names and titles when you browse the bookstore. Be prepared to suggest several authors if your partner is not familiar with Russian literature.
- Lastly, prepare mentally for deep conversation. Remember that the goal isn't necessarily to finish the book, but to connect with your partner by discussing ideas, plot lines, and characters. More than the books, it's the shared thoughts and emotions that would make this date memorable.

Some tips:
- Try to pick a book that is relatively short or an anthology of short stories so you can discuss the text more comprehensively during your date. It's great if you both read the same book, but you can also read different ones and share the storyline with each other.
- In the café, choose a spot that offers privacy for your intimate conversations. If possible, sit by the window to make the setting even more romantic with the view of Moscow's streets.
- This date idea is not only about sharing a cultural experience but also about validating each other's thoughts and perspectives. Pay attention to your partner's interpretation of the story, and engage in open-ended discussion rather than trying to 'correct' each other's insights. Your differences in understanding can make the conversation even more interesting.
