As part of our endeavor to provide real and interesting information to students considering Russia as a study, travel or career destination, we've begun to interview "expats"* and others with first-hand experience of the Russian economy, education system and job/internship market. The reasons for this part of the site are numerous. First, of course, the Russian economy is booming and is now being invested in heavily by western companies. Second, Russia has therefore become an object of high interest for students and teachers in various fields of relevance to Russia, especially business. Third, we just happen to know some really interesting people in Russia, with some really interesting stories. We thought you might enjoy getting to know them too. *“Expat” is the affectionate name that foreigners (especially Americans) who have come to Russia to live and work use to refer to themselves. **More student interviews are now available. If you would like to contact former students who have participated in a program you are considering, contact us and we will supply you with contact information from students who have volunteered to answer questions.
