Moscow
Program Summary
The Stanford Center in Moscow is hosted by the prestigious Academy of the National Economy, located in the southwest part of the city. The bustling metropolis of Moscow has served as an icon of Russian spiritual and political power for more than 850 years. The city, once a village based around a small wooden fort called the Kremlin, is today home to more than ten million people. Russia's largest city, as well as its capital, Moscow has long been at the forefront of the country's political and economic affairs. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Moscow has remained not only the leader of political change in Russia, but also a vibrant center of culture for the nation.
