Yankovskaya said unseasonably warm weather last month was something she never had experienced in Leninrad, it's cold until April.
that day when it was so hot, people were passing out, and Lena had worn long bans."
Missing home
Yankovskaya and Kukvin had read a little about Kansas when they were in high school. They knew that it mostly was agricultural and that the Turkey Red Wheat that made Kanada's economy strong during the Midwest by Russian immigrants.
But their decision to study at KU was made so swiftly that they had no time to study further.
Yankovskaya thinks that it was best that way.
"It was easier for me because I came here without any prejudices, so I didn't have to change anything in attitude toward America," she said.
"It was the first time I left my parents for so long," Yankovskaya said.
The difficult part was being away from home.
The move was wrenching for Kuykin, who left his wife Svetlana and their 10-year-old daughter, Olgia, more than 5,400 miles away in Leningrad. His hominess is evident when he speaks of them.
He said he would not mind if his daughter decided to study English in the United States because his experience abroad had been so positive.
"In October, my wife called me, and I spoke with them," he said.
"But she has got to study," he said in halting, careful English. "This is not easy, to learn English."
Kukin lives in Jayhawk Towers with three roommates. One is from Chicago. The others are from China, need to desire and need to learn English.
Song Qin, one of Kukyn's roommates, said he was excited when he learned that one of his roommates would be from the Soviet Union.
"He has taught me lots about reform (in the Soviet Union)." Song said. "It's very interesting to compare the socialist countries."
Kuykin, who has a degree in economics from Leningrad State University, now is writing a thesis to earn a master's degree in sociology.
He is using his English language skills to read American books about sociology and will add that information to his thesis, he said.
When he returns to school, he will enroll in more English courses in hopes of being fluent by the time he meets his sociology degree in two years.
In the Soviet Union, English education begins early, generally when youngsters are 7 or 8 years old. They learn to read and write from a young age and some writing and pronunciation.
The Russian love of poetry is used as a teaching tool in the Soviet Union to help children grasp difficult sounds in English. Yankovskaya still remembers the first English poem that she learned when she was an 8-year-old at Leningrad Primary School No.1:
"Why do you cry, Willie, why do you cry?
Why, Willie, why, Willie, why,
Willie, why?"
Yankovskaya's mentor and idol is her elementary schoolteacher, Faina Barysheva, her first English instructor. Yankovskaya hopes to return to School No. 1 to teach English as a colleague of Barysheva's.
Yankovskaya and her roommate Myers both share a goal to become teachers. Myers' mother is a third grade teacher in Topeka, and Yankovskaya visited her class last month. Before the day had ended, she had taught a group of third and sixth graders to say yes (da), no (nyet), hello (zdrahvstuviye) and goodbye (dosydyana) in Russian, and transliterated each of their names into the Cyrillic, or Russian, alphabet.
"It was during American Education Week, so that was really nice," Mvers said.
Myers said that she and Yankovskaya had become like sisters. Yankovskaya has visited Myers' home in Topeka several times, including on
"I have learned that no matter where a person is from, we're all the same all over the world," Myers said. "Now that I know her, I know there are other people like her. We have the same goals, the same feelings."
One special trip for Yankovskaya was a mid-semester visit with her friends to the Kansas City area, She
likes Kansas City, she said.
"When I went, it was raining." Yankovskaya said. "The streets were sort of silver, and it reminded me of Leningrad."
The bridges straddling Brush Creek, the statues and semi-ornate designs of Plaza shops in Kansas City are similar to older sections of Leningrad. Both Yankovskaya and Kuykin live away from this older, baroque section of the city in government-built apartment complexes.
There are no houses in Leningrad because there is no room for them, Kuykin said. To squeeze in the city's 5.5 million people, large sections of land in Leningrad were cleared for construction of the concrete apartments like the ones in which the Yankovsky and Kuykin families live.
No assumptions
Both Yankovskaya and Kuvkin will be returning to a country that has undergone many changes during their time, and they feel uncomfortable discussing
Public dissatisfaction with the Soviet central party has led leaders of several republics to declare independence from the Soviet system, despite government warnings of retaliation.
Soviets are facing the usual harsh winter this year with increased shortages of food because of a breakdown in the country's distribution system.
The specter of increased turmoil erupting in her roommate's country clearly haunts Suzanne Myers, who now scans newspapers with an increased interest in the Soviet Union.
"When I heard that Leningrad was going to ration food, I was very, very worried." Myers said. "I didn't want to mention it to her."
Neither Yankovskaya nor Kuykin know what to expect when they return to the Soviet Union, and both are doing what they did before they came to Kansas. They are not making any assumptions.
"We haven't been there for three months," Kuykin said as his words were being translated by Yankoswu. "It has not been over there. It changes every day."
So do their flight arrangements back home. They learned only a few of the rules, and they have taken back home Dec. 27 is full, so they must return Christmas Day.

Three new ways to survive college.
The Macintosh Classic
With Apple's introduction of three new Macintosh* computers, meeting the challenges of college life just got a whole lot easier. Because now, everybody can afford a Macintosh.

giving you another tough subject to learn. Every Macintosh computer is easy to set up and even easier to master. And when you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. That's because thousands of available programs all work in the same, consistent manner. You can even share information with someone who uses a different type of computer—thanks to Apple's versatile SuperDrive*, which reads from and writes to Macintosh, MS DOS, OS 2, and Apple II floppy disks.
See the new Macintosh computers for yourself, and find out how surviving college just got a whole lot easier.
