What is Russian Life?

Russian Life is your bimonthly trip to the heart of Russian reality.

Colorful. Informative. Engaging. Respected.

In short, everything you can want from a bimonthly magazine on Russian history, culture, business and travel.

Each issue contains fine features, news and photo journalism on all aspects of life in Russia, past and present.

Regular departments include: Travel Notes, Events Calendar, Russian Calendar (important events in Russian history that month), Russian Cuisine and Survival Russian – a guide to the Russian you really need to know.

If you're interested in what is going on in the world's largest country, then Russian Life is for you. And now, for a limited time, if you subscribe online, we'll send you a free gift!
