Exeter is twinned with the Russian city of Yaroslavl, about 3 hours’ drive north-east of Moscow. There are regular exchange visits between the two cities and we were preparing to welcome our Russian guests this year when the virus struck. However, the Exeter – Yaroslavl Twinning Organisation (EYTA) is still very much in regular contact with our opposite numbers in Yaroslavl via zoom.
