• Fabulous Russian winter!

Haven’t you heard of the harsh Russian winters? You can’t imagine how comfortable and fun the Russian winter can be! Fresh and crispy air, the dazzling sun, a whole lot of winter activities such as sledding, skiing, skating, playing snowballs, the chance to wear funny hats and, of course, a lot of snow – that's what the wintry Yekaterinburg has in store for you! In December, the whole city is glimmering with New Year lights which feels truly like a fairy tale! And back from the chilly streets, our dormitories and classrooms will feel twice as warm and cozy!

The locals are very fond of winter, and you will certainly love it, too!
