Russia has one of the world’s most diverse societies with nearly 200 ethnic groups. Most of the country’s population is ethnic Russian and others are a mix of several ethnic groups, with the Tatars and Ukrainians making the largest minorities. The major city in Russia is its capital Moscow, with more than 10 million people. Russians take great pride in their cultural heritage and their country.

Education

A lot of emphasis is placed on science and technology in education, Russian medical, mathematical, scientific, and space and aviation research is still generally of a high order. Russia's educational system has produced nearly 100% literacy.

“Russians read a lot and try to get as much knowledge as possible when studying at school or university therefore Au Pairs from Russia are going to be good teachers and storytellers for the children.” - Maria Zoloshkova, Go Au Pair's International Representative in Russia

Family Life

Most families are small, it is very common for woman to work outside the home. Russia has an area of about 6.5 million sq. mi. which make it the largest country in the world. Although Russia has an immense geographical territory, it has a population concentration of about only 22 people per square mile and most of its population is concentrated in urban areas.

“People in Russia are very kind and friendly; we love children as family relations form the great part of our national culture. That's why Au Pairs from Russia always treat host family's children as their own. (They) are very amenable and reliable, always ready to help Host Families in any case. They are very clean so the house will always be tidy.” - Maria Zoloshkova, Go Au Pair's International Representative in Russia
