Russia is one of the coldest countries in the world. Some parts of Russia are considered as the harshest places to live on earth.

Course Language in Russia
Most of the Indian students studying MBBS in Russia know English, they depend on the English language to study any courses abroad. In Russia, predominantly almost all the colleges use Russian as a medium of lecture and education. Some colleges provide MBBS in Russia in both Russian and English but the defect in this model is that only 3 years of the course is taught in English remaining 3 years are taught in Russian. Very few colleges offer students with a full English course. So it becomes mandatory to learn Russian to study MBBS in Russia.
Language of Communication in Russia
Most of the Russian population are not bilingual so they only speak Russian for communication. During the clinical practice period in their academic curriculum the students must be able to communicate with the patients in order to understand the illness and the patient’s history.So without learning Russian it is really hard to practice MBBS in Russia. Even if a student gets admission in an english medium college he needs to know russian for his clinical practice.
Course Duration in Russia
If the students by luck find a college to study MBBS in Russia which provides a full English course then the duration of study is just 6 years. In other mediums of courses it is mandatory to study russian first and then the student is allowed to proceed to the main course. So the course length would be 6.8 years.
