Russia is home to some of the world’s finest art traditions such as ballet, theater, literature and music. Learning Russian will also give you unfiltered access to a wealth of novels, poetry and plays produced by famous authors such as Marina Tsvetaeva, Vladimir Nabokov and Leo Tolstoy.

3) A Must for Globetrotters

The Golden Ring is a popular tourist route through Russia, which threads its way through key Medieval towns and cities which have been left mainly undisturbed by modernity and industrialization. Besides, there are more than 29 UNESCO World Heritage sites throughout Russia, including the Red Square and the Kremlin as well as the Altai Mountains.

Russian architecture, as apparent in St. Basil’s Cathedral, is intricate and monumental, reflecting the rich history of the country. Similarly, geographical diversity, religious beliefs and different ways of life are also reflected by Russian cuisine.
