to
be admitted to postgraduate studies at law schools, business schools, medical universities and other
professional programs.

occupies about 1/8 of the entire land mass. This is the largest country in the world, its area exceeds the
American almost twice. Russia has a population of almost 150 million, just over 50% of the population of
the
former Soviet Union. The number of Russian speakers in the world is 270 million people.

3. Chat with friends from all over the world. The Russian language proudly bears the title of the most
widely spoken Slavic language in the world and the most widely spoken language in Europe in terms of the
number of speakers for whom it is native. Be sure, on every mainland you will hear Russian speech. And
this

ballet,
theatre, film, literature, music and the visual arts are a few of the areas in which Russians have created
great traditions and continue to bring outstanding innovators to the world. From George Balanchine to
Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sergei Eisenstein to Andrei Tarkovsky, Anton Chekhov and Konstantin Stanislavsky,
Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Vladimir Sorokin, Shostakovich, Hvorostovsky… Russians create masterpieces! And did
you know that learning Russian helps you perceive the world differently? Those who speak Russian, which

Baikal,
and then continue their studies at an institute.
