History

It unites the historical, cultural, and spiritual ties between Serbia and Russia and the special relationship that the fraternal Russian people have with Serbia. The idea of creating a modern Russian school outside Russia arose through strong actions by the Russian Federation to popularize the Russian language and culture through educational systems abroad. The educational program is based on the 'School of Russia' standards; classes are conducted in Russian, English is studied from the second grade, and Serbian is offered as an optional subject.
