Russian is one of the six official working languages of the UN and is the fourth most widespread language in the world after Chinese, English and Spanish. However, Russian is also the business language of the future: As an important trade power, Russia maintains relations with 145 states and the Russian market has long been seen as the market of the future. Never in its history has Russia had such good relationships with so many countries. However, Russian is not only useful for business, it also provides mental access to one of the must valuable cultural heritages in Europe. The works of countless Russian poets and authors are world-class literature.

The Russian alphabet consists of 33 characters.

Bread in Russia

Bread has a special significance as a basic food in Russia. Because it is served with every meal, it is often not possible to eat with a knife and fork. You therefore hold the fork in your right hand and the bread in your left.
