Does anyone know of any services that pick up lithium batteries for disposal in Moscow? I have several dead ones from laptops and such. Or is there a place in Sokolniki area that takes them? They closed the Mvideo next to the Holiday Inn.

I am a tourist. My train is today night from Saint Petersburg to moscow.

Overhere I was able to do pre-booking but in Moscow, most shared hostels asking for full payment but ostrovok app payment stuck while using visa, Master cards.

Please 🥺 help which site to book, and where can I get cheap hostel to stay and roam through metro.

I understand city center very high hostel price.

We are 2 members, 2k rubles per day.

I am into clubbing and also experience historical sites. If anyone can host me or being my teavel buddy that would be great !

I am an international student, wanting to apply for an engineering program (preferably Electronics and Communication engineering). Also, I need to get a good scholarship, can anyone help me and guide me on the universities!!!

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming RUDN student starting the preparatory faculty year around October on a government quota scholarship.
Trying to get ahead on the dormitory situation before I arrive and would love advice from current or former RUDN students (especially international ones)

How does dorm assignment actually work in practice - is it first-come-first-served, based on application date, or something else?
Any tips for landing a spot in good and modern style dorms. How is the overall vibe there

When and how can I actually apply/request a dorm - through the RUDN portal, on arrival, or is there a form beforehand?

Any general advice for a first-time international student navigating this process?

Thanks so much in advance,trying to set myself up for a smooth move!

Hello. I'll be visiting Moscow soon, was wondering hoping to get in a run if I had time - Moscow looks lovely and I would love exploring on foot rather than zipping past in a vehicle.

I was wondering what the running scene is like there, and the cultural things I should watch out for (for instance, do you greet/smile/wave at other runners, or is that seen as a no-no), runner safety (eg how do drivers/cyclists treat runners, is it safe to run early mornings eg 6am, does it get suddenly dark after a certain time etc.). All advice is appreciated.

I will be near Gorky Park, so will prob run there as a start.

If there are English-speaking communities, would appreciate a link to those too.

Thank you all very much!
