Russia: Russian
If you want to check the pulse of Russia, Moscow is definitely the place to go.
Although not geographically central to Russia, Moscow has historically been the political center of the country during many of its most turbulent times. As the capital, it is the center of politics and it is certainly the center of the changes currently sweeping the country. More than any of these things, however, Moscow is the symbolic heart that has always sustained the vast land of Russia. In all it has to offer, Moscow stands as the measure of all that is happening in Russia today. It is well worth seeing the way things are changing! Studying at Moscow State University offers students the fascinating opportunity to see both the effects of the past and the promise of the future. The amazing history of the city can be seen in such places as the Kremlin, which features monuments from the ruling powers over the ages. Ivan the Terrible and Stalin both ruled from the Kremlin, but so did the Russian Orthodox Church, a fact that can be seen in the many stunning cathedrals inside the perimeter. Our program includes a two-day visit to St. Petersburg, where we’ll experience all that this “Venice of the North” has to offer. You’ll acquire memories to treasure for a lifetime!
