The Russian society is one of the most vibrant Oxford student societies with a long and successful history. The vast majority of Russian-speaking students attend our events at least several times a year, making the Society a focus of Russian social life in Oxford. Our friendly and informal events are also an ideal environment for those who want to practice their Russian language skills or find out more about Russian culture.
