Once someone said “Coffee is a
language in itself” and I could make sure of it
at the end of September when I visited one of
the most popular cafes in Blagoveschensk.
This café is called “DO.BRO” and this place has
such a creative and friendly atmosphere that
you want to return there again and again.
Actually it`s what I have been doing since it
was imbedded in the old building of the
shopping centre. Book shelves, modern art,
wooden solid tables and sweet tastes let
immerse in thoughts and dreams. Cars and
strangers are passing by but you are sipping
coffee quietly. Isn`t it wonderful? The jewel of
the moment taken from the everyday hustle
and bustle.
interesting for everyone.
Ekaterina let me first say that I am
very happy to get acquainted with you and to
meet up here in such a warm and peaceful
place! I think our love for coffee and dear
English will always guide us and bring together
throughout all the seasons.
Yeap! What a lucky coincidence! You
know I am a graduate of the faculty of foreign
languages too and despite the fact that it`s
been a long time coming since I was a student
my life is still strongly tied with English. I keep
working on spreading its popularity in Blago
and making the process of learning bright and
fascinating.
That`s great! Tell me please what you
have been up to.
That Sunday morning I dropped in to
get warm and order my all-time favourite
caffe latte when I was suddenly attracted by
the announcement on the coming events at
the café. English coffee breaks, English movie
hours, gigs and workshops in watercolor… The
list impressed me much and I immediately got
a wish to talk to a manager to find out the
details. So, that was the beginning of my

Osipova, enthusiastic and kind girl, who runs
the art space of “DO.ART”. She speaks English
fluently and impresses everyone with her
charm and manners. She is full of new ideas
and open for colloboration that`s why she
happily agreed to give us the interview and
what`s more to unite her future projects with
“Sunrise”. No doubt, we have a lot in common
and the subjects we`ve touched upon will be

Well my activity in “DO.ART” started
when the first floor of DO.BRO coffee shop got
empty and the CEO decided to create an art
space to see whether it would work, whether it
would be beneficial for us and attractive for
the guests. So, I came up with the concept of
the art space and all possible events we can
have here including Coffee English. The main
point of Coffee English is to practise English
having a cup of coffee in a small company. The
group should be small because in this case
everybody will be able to relax and to open up.
We discuss different topics, have fun and
chat. All you need to join us is just to enroll
beforehand.
What`s more now in the evening you
can watch movies in English at our art space.
We watch all sorts of films like comedies,
dramas, actions, adventure films and so on.
We know that tastes differ, so sometimes we
vote what movie we are going to watch in
Instagram stories. So if you want to know the
latest news about movie nights and other
events follow us on Instagram:
@do_art_space. I love the atmosphere of our
movie nights! We switch off the main light, turn
on the small bulbs and project the movie on

I bet it does! To tell the truth, I can`t
wait to attend it and invite my students and
colleagues! By the way, while listening to you I
kept looking at the walls and noticed that
