Learn Russian in Moscow, Russia!

The first Russian reference to Moscow dates from 1147. The city is named after and situated on the banks of the giant Moskva River, which flows for over 500 km through Russia. It has been the capital of a series of states from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union.
Moscow has developed into a stable and prosperous city thanks to the emergence of a market economy, which has produced an explosion of Western-style retailing, services, architecture, and lifestyles. 21st century Moscow is a hub of creative energy, enterprise, and entrepreneurship.
