The Tulsa & Zelenograd
Sister City Partnership
The Tulsa-Zelenograd Association (TZA) celebrates the Sister City relationship between Tulsa and Zelenograd, and has had several events to promote Russian culture, including:

A Russian lecture and film, Meeting Gorbachev, hosted at Circle Cinema.

With the support of TZA, two community volunteers (one of them traveled to Zelenograd through TZA as a high school student) began a monthly conversation club.

A group of six journalists from Zelenograd visited Tulsa June 2019 through the U.S. Library of Congress Open World Program.
