This year Congress of Russian Americans gave its traditional support to Russian-American youth by participating in graduations at Russian-American schools. In these events CRA gave congratulatory letters and complementary membership in CRA to all graduates and a Gramota and a stipend to graduates that received a Gold Medal. The Gold Medal recipients in 2011 were Aleksei Bolshakoff and Nikolai Shmelev from the Church of AllRussian Saints in Burlingame, CA and Anastasia Mushtaeva and Antonyi Priyemshev from the Ss. Cyrill & Methdy School in San Francisco, CA. CRA congratulates all graduates for their fine achievement in their completion of Russian studies in grammar, literature, history, and scriptures.
