The Russian language is the
native language of 150 million people. If you have
ever read literature by any of the great Russian
masters like Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, or Tolstoy, you
have opened the door to the incredible world of rich
Russian heritage, culture, and history. After the
collapse of the Communist regime, Russian became more
important than ever, as the former Soviet Union
emerged from behind the iron curtain. Whether you are
interested in new business or entrepreneurial
opportunities in Russia, tourist ventures, or simply
a closer look at Russian culture, the study of
Russian will be your first step in the right
direction.
