Program City
Moscow has been the capital city for the Russian Federation since its founding in 1991. Before that is was the seat of power for the Soviet Union, but Moscow has a rich history which started long before even that. The city is covered in historical architecture - old churches, soviet era buildings, and the Kremlin right at the city's heart. Currently Moscow has a population of over 10.5 million people. That makes it not only the largest city in all of Russia, but the largest city in the whole of Europe. Being such a large city, Moscow is very spread out. This makes the city's metro system a very nice and convinient way to get around. From its business centers to its shopping malls, everyone can find something to do in Moscow.
Institution
Founded in 1907, the Plekhanov Russian Academy of Economics was one of the first institutions in Russia which trained and prepared businessmen for the rapidly developing industry of Russia. Since its founding, the university has been a leader in its field.
