The Russkiy Mir Foundation promotes understanding
and peace in the world by supporting, enhancing
and encouraging the appreciation of the Russian
language, Russia's heritage, and Russian culture.
Mir means Community. Peace. World. The three
meanings of this small but eloquent word inspire
and define Russkiy Mir's mission:
- Russkiy Mir promotes the teaching of the
Russian language within Russia and abroad to new
learners and to those who already know Russian
and wish to recapture or maintain their fluency.
- Russkiy Mir brings Russia's rich history
to life, and showcases vibrant examples of
Russian art and culture around the world.
- Russkiy Mir reconnects the Russian
community abroad with their homeland, forging new
and stronger links through cultural and social
programs, exchanges and relocation assistance.
A primary focus of the Russkiy Mir Foundation is
providing grants and sponsoring competitions in
support of the Russian Language, Russian culture,
and organizations representing the Russian world.
We work directly with a variety of non-government
organizations, diaspora groups, education
centers, universities and schools where Russian is taught.
