Moscow or St. Petersburg
Moscow, a metropolis of over eight million people, is the administrative, legislative, educational, and cultural capital of Russia. St. Petersburg offers a unique blend of Russian and West European architecture and boasts one of the world’s largest art collections housed in the Hermitage Museum.
The American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) has been organizing study programs in Moscow since 1976. ACTR places students in Moscow at the Moscow Linguistics University and The International University. In St. Petersburg, ACTR participants are placed at the Russian State Pedagogical University (formerly known as the Herzen Institute). The programs are designed for advanced students of Russian and offer intensive Russian language training and lectures in Russian literature and culture. All classes are taught in Russian by instructors who specialize in the teaching of Russian as a foreign language.
