Religions include Russian Orthodox, Buddhism and Shamanism. Do We Want Internships in Russia are not for everyone. Living conditions in Russia can be very basic, whether you are in a city, village or on a farm. Toilet facilities range from poor to terrible. Accommodations may be limited.
Transport is often public and crowded, or difficult to obtain.
Communication with the outside world is difficult. Food may be seasonal and limited in variety, and there are other daily hardships that Russians endure. Interns must be prepared for these conditions. We prefer college students who are at least 20 years old or who will turn 20 by the end of the summer. High School-aged interns will be placed with our most trusted families and may be included with another school exchange.
