Why Russia
We are first in the world
Russian culture occupies an important place in the global cultural landscape. The Russian language, literature, music, and theatre have become part of the world’s cultural heritage and continue to influence modern art. The works of Russian writers, composers, and artists are known far beyond the country and are studied at many universities around the world.
Today, Russia’s cultural life combines historical traditions with modern creative trends. Theatres, museums, concert venues, and cultural festivals create a vibrant environment where students can not only study but also explore the country’s art, history, and culture.

Medicine
Russia has a well-developed healthcare system.
Many pharmacies operate 24/7, and appointments with doctors can usually be scheduled within a short time. Emergency medical services also respond quickly — on average within about 20 minutes. In recent years, millions of foreign citizens have come to Russia to receive medical care. Foreign citizens have the right to free emergency medical assistance in situations where there is a threat to life or health. In such cases, an ambulance can be called by dialing 112.
To receive non-emergency medical services — for example, visiting a general practitioner or a dentist — a medical insurance policy is required. Obtaining such a policy is a mandatory requirement for studying at a Russian university.

Voluntary Medical Insurance Policy (VMI)
• The policy is required for all foreign citizens arriving in Russia if they do not have compulsory medical insurance.
• It is issued on a paid basis through an insurance company.
• Medical services are provided only in the clinics and medical institutions included in the insurance program.
Safety
Russia is considered a country with a relatively low level of crime compared to a number of other major countries.
According to the Numbeo Crime Index for 2024, Russia ranks higher in terms of safety than the USA, France, Canada, and several other countries.
Russian universities have an access control system in place. Only students, faculty, and university staff are allowed to enter academic buildings and dormitories. Security is ensured by guards who work around the clock. Building entrances are equipped with metal detectors, and video surveillance systems are installed inside.
In addition, universities regularly conduct briefings and inform students about safety rules and behavior on campus. Many institutions have dedicated support services and administrative departments that help quickly resolve organizational issues and provide comfortable conditions for studying and living.
