Russia today
It's full of contrasts in culture, people's character, nature.
Now the country tries to find its way as a democratic society. Russia is the country of unique history and spirituality, the country of great scientists, the country of rich natural resources and production.
Living expenses are the same in other European countries and high enough. A foreign student needs at least an extra USD 150 per month in order to be able to cover the expected cost of living.
