Learn Russian in St. Petersburg
Russian Immersion in Russia
Learning Russian abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. In just a few short years, life in the largest country on Earth - the Russian Federation - has changed radically. In 1991, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) ceased to exist. In its place are Russian Federation (Russia) and 14 independent countries. Russia stretches from the Gulf of Finland to the Bering Strait and is the home to more than 100 ethnic groups.
