Internships in Russia

Nearly twice the size of the United States with various climates from subtropical to arctic temperatures makes this an interesting location for an internship. This land that covers more than one-eighth of Earth entails endless coastlines, epic mountains and volcanoes, meandering rivers, stretching plains, and more. Here are the best cities for interning in Russia.

Moscow. The capital and most-populous city that lies in western Russia is an economic, political, cultural, and scientific hub. The world-renowned architecture from the flame-shaped St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Seven Sisters, and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior are all awaiting your exploration. With nearly 100 parks in Moscow, you can mosey your way through plentiful trees and gardens to your heart’s delight. If you’re really looking to get cultured here, go see a ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre, step back in time at the State Historical Museum, and chat with locals over vodka.

St. Petersburg. This second-largest city in Russia lies on the the coast of the Baltic Sea in the northwestern area. Here you can cruise along its grid of canals, visit the Erarta Museum that showcases modern Russian art, and marvel at the Church of the Savior on Blood. Like Moscow, this city is rich with theatres, films, and museums that will keep you busy for several hours in your free time. Home to several companies and corporations, you’ll easily find an internship in the business field here.

Volgograd. While not as populated as its sister cities, you’ll find this industrial and administrative city in southwest Russia that’s famous for the Battle of Stalingrad in WWII. History buffs will admire the magnificent Motherland Calls sculpture and the Panorama Museum with its several artifacts. Many architectural sites will also please the eyes, such as the Kazan Cathedral and All Saints Church.
