Welcome to the Cultural Map of Russia

Click on the map above to select a region. Choose Northwest Russia to learn about Russian life near the Arctic, with its native influences from Finland and Norway. Learn about Russia's old capital, St. Petersburg, and its regal majesty and stunning architecture. Or, choose Western Siberia, to learn about the land, culture, and native peoples of the area just east of the Ural mountains.

The Cultural Map of Russia is funded in part by The National Endowment for the Humanities, and developed by Russnet, a project of the American Councils.
