There is an abundance of natural and cultural beauty in Russia. From the haunting magnificence of St. Petersburg to the hustle and bustle of modern Moscow to the natural beauty of the Baikal (the world's deepest lake), Russia has something for everyone. Daily life for the majority of Russians is not much different than life in other western countries, especially in the big cities. The latest European fashions, fitness clubs, movies and night clubs have been added to the traditional culture of ballet, opera and live theatre. ESL/EFL opportunities are abundant in Russia. There are almost 300 language schools in Moscow alone. Business English is in high demand, as well as the usual conversational English.
