Study, Work or Volunteer in Russia

Spanning two continents and sprawling over an astounding 17,075,400 kilometers, Russia is the largest country in the world and a great power. But size is not the only thing that’s impressive about Russia. Swift economic recovery after the collapse of the Soviet Union and superior military capabilities are complemented by an enigmatic and fascinating culture.

Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states. It is also the leading nation of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a member of the G8 as well as other international organizations.

The capital of Russia is Moscow. Located on the Moskva River, Moscow is also the country's principal political, economic, financial, educational, and transportation center. It is also the site of the famous Kremlin, which now serves as the ceremonial residence of the President of Russia.
