Being in Russia for 6 weeks was one of the best experiences I had in my life. I loved every minute of it. Moscow surprised me majorly as it was completely different than what people have told me. Not all people were rude and mean. Though must admit Russians aren’t the friendliest to strangers, but I guess it’s how it should be right ? So I think I learned a lot from Russians. Even the man at w...

The internship was overall positive. On the one hand I quite enjoyed it because I had a lot of freedom. All my suggestions as to what I could do were accepted and I very much set the internship on my terms. The office I was placed in was also very friendly.
On the down side I didn't feel like I had much support from my team whilst I was there. The two people who were 'in charge' of me in the p...

My experience with ProfIntern was a profoundly positive one. I would say ProfIntern is the best place to find an internship in Russia.

I had come primarily to increase my Russian language skills, and my time at the Russian...

I come from Belgium and I had the chance to work in Saint-Petersburg thanks to an organization for unemployed people in my home country.
My situation is in some way special, because I arrived without the help of Maria and we met in different conditions as planned. She had to find an internship and a flat for me in a very short period of time, which she successfully did.
I currently work as a...

Internship
The company I interned by was involved in the field of decentralised online currency. As an international relations student, my sphere of interests are really broad, which allowed me to deep dive also into this new online world, which I have never explored before.
My role in the company was to keep up with its international communications. More specifically, I had to make research...
