Aegee-Samara is a relatively young antenna. We “were born” in April 2007 in Malta. =) The founder and the first president of AEGEE-Samara is Elena Solomatkina. For that moment we were the most eastern antenna on AEGEE-map.

Since that time we have organized 5 international events among which Summer Universities, Winter Universities and Summer Events. And on each event we are happy to watch our participants turning from just an international group into a really strong team of friends. A team that doesn’t fall apart after the event is over, but that keeps in touch, organizes its own small events and comes to see each other in different countries. Maybe we have just been lucky all this time, but maybe…it’s a magic spell of our wonderful city.

When people come to Samara they fall in love with it. And they want to return to it again and again. Many famous artists, writers, singers, actors came to Samara to find inspiration.
