Introducing Gateway to Russia: a new chapter after Russia Beyond

Dear readers,

After many years of bringing Russian culture and history to global audiences, Russia Beyond is now concluding its journey. We want to thank you sincerely for your support, enthusiasm, and countless interactions over the years.

But this is not the end — rather, a new beginning.

We’re excited to introduce Gateway to Russia — a completely new project built on fresh ideas and broader ambitions. This is not just a continuation of Russia Beyond under a new name. Instead, it’s a new platform designed to give you much more.

Gateway to Russia is your go-to portal if you want to learn the Russian language from scratch or improve your skills and get up-to-date information on how to visit Russia, including visa support.

While our old website, rbth.com, will remain accessible as an archive, all new content and services will be available at our new address: gw2ru.com — short for Gateway to Russia.

We’ll also continue to share engaging videos, stories, and fun content through our social channels:

• Telegram channel

• NEW Telegram chat for Russian learners

• VK page

And don’t forget to sign up for our new newsletter at gw2ru.com/subscribe

Thank you once again for being part of the Russia Beyond journey. We invite you now to join us at Gateway to Russia — your new, trusted companion for exploring the language, culture, and experience of modern Russia.

Warm regards,

The Gateway to Russia team
