International Winter Schools in Russia International winter schools in Russia COUNTRY OVERVIEW Geography Russia spans from the eastern plains of Europe to the Pacific Ocean in Asia, making it the largest country in the world. The coasts of Russia are washed by 12 seas and three oceans. There is hardly any country in the world where such a variety of scenery and vegetation can be found: steppes in the south, plains and forests in the midlands, tundra and taiga in the north, highlands and deserts in the east. There are 11 time zones in Russia, which is more than in any other country in the world. Climate Due to its vast territory, Russia is a country of natural contrasts. The northern part of the country is located in arctic and subarctic climate zones, while the southern regions have a subtropical climate. Normally Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan have very warm summers and fairly cold winters, while Tomsk in Siberia often has temperatures of -40 C or colder in winter. Culture Despite its vast area the population is 146 million people, less than the United States, Brazil or Pakistan. However, it is extremely diverse culturally. There are about 185 ethnic groups, whereas Slavs (the first inhabitants of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) comprise the major ethnicity. Russian is the only official language across the country, but there are more than 25 different languages that are considered official in certain regions. Economy Russia is the biggest gas and second biggest oil exporter in the world and also has vast stocks of precious metals. Other important sectors include information technology, defense, agriculture and aerospace. The Netherlands is its main export partner in terms of petroleum products and natural gas and China and Germany are Russia’s major import partners. Politics Russia became a democracy after the fall of communism in 1991. Boris Yeltsin was the first democratically elected president of the Russian Federation. Now executive power is split between the president and prime minister, but the president is the dominant figure. Vladimir Putin has now spent 15 years at the top of Russian politics. In 2014 he was recognized as the most powerful man in the world by Forbes magazine. 10 reasons to choose winter study in Russia: Experience for yourself what a real Russian winter is Stay fit this winter: sled down Russia’s many hills, challenge your neighbor to a snow ball fight, make a snowman or snow angel If you get cold, warm yourself up with a cup of traditional hot honey wine or sweat it out in a cosy banya while others beat your circulation into shape with specially-scented whisk brooms Winter outside doesn’t mean you have to stay inside all the time: go skiing, ice skating and form an ice hockey team Learn from the biggest gas and 2nd biggest oil exporter and take off with the aerospace industry Study in Siberia, which has so much more to offer than you could ever imagine: natural wonders, kind people and dynamic cities and universities See how much Russia has changed and grown since the fall of communism with your own eyes Experience one of the most discussed countries in the media by yourself Speak, read and write the language of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov and Bulgakov Experience the immensity of the largest country in the world (11 time zones!)

  • Medical Services Providers
    MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDERS Western medical care in the Yekaterinburg area can be expensive, difficult to obtain, and not always comprehensive. Some facilities offer quality services, but many restrict services to normal business hours and/or to people willing to pay for services in advance. Acceptance of insurance in lieu of prepayment is rare. Most patients pay in cash and receive reimbursement from their insurance companies upon their return to the United States. State medical care is officially free of charge, but the quality of service ranges from unacceptable to uncomfortable. Russian doctors often demand payment for disposable needles, medications, and some services. There are no foreign-run in-patient clinics in Yekaterinburg. Medical evacuation to another country is an expensive option. All travelers who visit Russia are encouraged to purchase travel medical insurance that includes coverage in the event when an evacuation is necessary. In the event of an emergency, the U.S. Consulate General will try to assist in arranging medical care for U.S. citizens. For assistance during working hours, please call +7 (343) 379-3001, ext. 2130. After 5:30 p.m., please call the Consulate duty officer at +7 (917) 569-3549. The U.S. Consulate General in Yekaterinburg provides this list as a tool to assist the American community in Yekaterinburg and other locations along the Trans – Siberian Railway. The Consulate assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or reputation of the persons or medical facilities whose names appear on the following list. This information sheet was revised in October, 2015 and is subject to change without notice.

  • Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever (OHF)
    Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever (OHF) Omsk hemorrhagic fever (OHF) is caused by Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (OHFV), a member of the virus family Flaviviridae. OHF was described between 1945 and 1947 in Omsk, Russia from patients with hemorrhagic fever. Rodents serve as the primary host for OHFV, which is transmitted to rodents from the bite of an infected tick. Common tick vectors include Dermacentor reticulatus, Dermacentor marginatus, Ixodes persulcatus and common rodents infected with OHFV include the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica), water vole (Arvicola terrestris), and narrow-skulled voles (Microtus gregalis). Muskrats are not native to the Omsk region but were introduced to the area and are now a common target for hunters and trappers. Like humans, muskrats fall ill and die when infected with the virus. OHF occurs in the western Siberia regions of Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kurgan and Tyumen. Transmission Humans can become infected through tick bites or through contact with the blood, feces, or urine of an infected, sick, or dead animal – most commonly, rodents. Occupational and recreational activities such as hunting or trapping may increase human risk of infection. Transmission may also occur with no direct tick or rodent exposure as OHFV appears to be extremely stable in different environments. It has been isolated from aquatic animals and water and there is even evidence that OHFV can be transmitted through the milk of infected goats or sheep to humans. No human to human transmission of OHFV has been documented but infections due to lab contamination have been described. Signs and Symptoms After an incubation period of 3-8 days, the symptoms of OHF begin suddenly with chills, fever, headache, and severe muscle pain with vomiting, gastrointestinal symptoms and bleeding problems occurring 3-4 days after initial symptom onset.
