To get some ideas have a look at examples of personal statement for Russian:

Mention books by Russian authors you may have read (I recommend Chekhov, Dostoyevsky), plays, etc. and manage to tie interesting themes of the individual literature/art with your passion for Russian :smile:

but also go for an interesting personal approach, and not just enumerate them
