About the Country

Spread across two continents, Russia is the largest country in the world. It offers the planet’s most luxurious places, the coldest cities, the highest mountains, and the strongest spirits. The country has also seen some of the best displays of literature from authors such as Bulgakov Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Nabokov during the 19th and 20th centuries.

In recent years, Russia has invested a lot in developing its higher education practices and system that resulted in the growing interest of international students from all over the globe. Over 26 Russian universities got featured in the QS World Rankings 2021; 13 of those universities ranked among the top 400 universities in the world.

Higher education in the country has undergone massive changes over the past decade. The universities around the country see upgraded facilities, enhanced technical equipment, and improved teaching staff. The Russian education system is much in line with other European countries as Russia signed up for the Bologna process back in 2003. Unlike popular belief, medical degrees from Russian universities do get recognized in other countries. So, if you want to study MBBS in Russia and want to practice back in India, the degree will be considered valid, and the teachers at the university will even help you clear the screening tests required.

About the City

Tver is a city in Russia that used to be the capital of Tver Principality. Since the foundation of St. Petersburg, the city has become a major transit link on the road to two major Russian cities.

The city was famous for its merchants, especially Afanasiy Nikitin, who reached India and became one of the first from Europe to travel and document the country. He described his Indian trip in a narrative called The Journey Beyond Three Seas.

The best way to reach Tver from Saint Petersburg or Moscow is the high-speed Sapsan train.

It’s an old city where most of the architecture couldn’t survive the war and economic crisis. That’s why the city center got rebuilt.

If you want to explore the city’s history, you can start from the northern end of Tryokhsvyatskaya street. It is a local version of Arbat street of Moscow. Also, there is the Embankment of the Volga river, quite popular among the residents.

Safety and Security

If you study in Russia and stay at a university hostel, you’ll find 24X7 security and CCTV surveillance. If you are not aware of the Russian language, you can easily find seniors to help you around. While traveling in the city, you will feel very safe as the locals are warm and welcoming.

If you are in cities like Moscow, you may even find familiar faces as Russia sees travelers from all over the world. You just need to follow the general rules of traveling. For example, look after your belongings (especially in a crowded place), learn a bit of local language to get directions, be careful while crossing roads (traffic rules in every country are different), use app-based taxi rides, and carry your bottle around. The Russian government takes the safety and security of its citizens and travelers very seriously. So, make sure that you carry your passport and migration card with you all the time as you may get stopped by the police who are also trying to protect you.

Transport

Russia is a massive landmass with a land border length of 57,792 kilometers. Even though the country has a fully functioning transport system, many of its rural areas have remained pristine due to their inaccessibility by local transport. But you can still explore them with the help of a local guide.

One of the best ways to travel around the city conveniently is by train.
Apart from trains, you can also choose to travel by local bus. They are a popular way of traveling around the countryside and from large cities to the suburbs. In big cities, you don’t need to carry cash. You can pay via card, unlike the smaller cities.

If you plan on traveling around the country, you can easily find public transportation or a private one like a cab. Remember, learning a bit of the Russian language can help make your stay in the country easier.

Culture

Russia has a rich cultural history, with unique literature, classical music, and art. The country is home to over 190 ethnic groups and more than 100 minority languages. Though Russian is the official language of the country, many Russians speak English as a second language.

Religion is also one of the primary components of Russian life. There are 5,000 active registered religious associations in Russia, with Islam as the second-largest religion (10-15% Russians practice Islam).

One of the most notable art forms is the Ballet which came out of the country. In Moscow, there’s Bolshoi Ballet, a classical ballet company found in 1776 and known throughout the world.

Russian literature has also had a major impact worldwide with writers such as Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leon Tolstoy. Another cultural symbol in Russia is the Russian nesting dolls, also known as Matryoshka dolls. They are wooden figures that pull apart to reveal the smaller version of the same figure. One can find as many as six dolls nested within one another. The painting of the dolls is a symbol of a mother carrying a child within her while wearing a traditional colorful costume.

Russia also has a rich tradition of folk tales. The tales derive from various Slavic traditions and myths. The characters in Russian folk are colorful and known for betraying the ancient pagan roots.

Weather

Most of Russia is known for having a continental climate with long winters and brief summers. One can experience a wide range of winter and summer temperatures in the country, with low precipitation.

The best time to visit or travel around the country is May to September for city breaks. During this time, the day temperature reaches 20-35 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature drops to just 10 degrees.

Spring, on the other hand, can be unpredictable and go below -5 degrees Celsius. If you plan to go out during spring or fall, make sure that you wear waterproof shoes to avoid mud. Visiting Moscow and St. Petersburg might not sound like a good idea during winters, but it can pay off. During winters, it is a lot easier to find Bolshoi and Kirov ballet and opera tickets. Also, there are much fewer crowds at tourist attractions. Just don’t forget to keep warm clothes, hats, and boots with you to handle the bitter cold temperatures.
