Russian language studies in Russia and Ukraine

Moscow is the barometer and nucleus of the changes sweeping through Russia. Nowhere are Russia's contrasts more apparent than here - ancient monasteries and ultra-modern monoliths stand side by side and disparities in wealth between the 'new' and the 'old' Russians are very apparent.

Moscow's origins as a symbol of Russian spiritual and political power go back 850 years. It reflects Russia's state of flux in its day-to-day life, and when the winds of change start blowing, they blow through Moscow first.
