The Russian Federation, the world's
largest nation, covers more than seventeen million
square miles. Its population, spread from the
Baltic to the Pacific, the Arctic Ocean to the
Black Sea, is served by one of the largest and
most famous educational systems anywhere. Challenged
by the changing political, economic, and philosophical
climates of the post-Soviet period, Russian universities
and institutions have worked hard to maintain
academic excellence while preparing the country's
population for life in a changed world.
The Fulbright Scholar Program has sent American
scholars and received Russian scholars since 1973.
Beginning with only 8 Americans and 5 Russians,
it has grown to accommodate up to 50 scholars
in each direction. The Fulbright Program allows
American scholars to propose grants for lecturing,
lecturing/research, or research. Placements may
be requested for virtually any academic entity
in the country.
In order to familiarize American scholars both
with the country and with its educational establishment,
CIES has located a number of useful websites.
Interested applicants should consult these pages
and the CIES program personnel.
