We found a neat video from this Russian school, Liden & Denz, in Russia. It shows the two different Russian schools, one in Moscow, one in St. Petersburg. As the capital city of Russia, Moscow has many educational and scientific institutions, and is a major transportation hub with several airports and the most complex metro system outside of Tokyo. The history and architecture alone are enough to keep even the most demanding traveler satisfied. If you are going to study in Moscow, make sure to bundle up, as the average daily temperature is less than 42 degrees Fahrenheit! St. Petersburg is known as the most Western city in Russia, and is the country's second largest city after Moscow. Located on the Baltic Sea, St. Petersburg has a lively cultural scene of art, music, literature, and sports.
