The Russian language is spoken by 280 million people in several countries, all the way to the Chinese borders.
It is a language that facilitates travel and tourism throughout Europe.
Russia is a very large territory, and most of the nearby countries have a large Russian-speaking population: Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, etc.
Learning Russian opens the doors to all of Central Asia and its rich and fascinating culture.
Russia is a leading economic power, with enormous resources of rare earths, gas and raw materials, and a large part of the country, especially the immense Siberia, is still largely underexploited.
Trade with Russia affects all areas: import export, chemical industry, advanced industry (aerospace), but also luxury and food.
A good level of Russian is the essential condition to find job opportunities in Russia or in neighboring countries.
Languages based on Russian are particularly sought after by recruiters from Central Asian countries.
