DAUGAVPILS

    - Daugavpils is a unique place – a Russian-language enclave, the largest Russian-speaking city in the European Union. Daugavpils is the second largest city in Latvia.

    - In Daugavpils, nearly everyone is a native or bilingual Russian speaker. Modern standard Russian is the language of daily communication. Students experience full language immersion.

    - Daugavpils was once part of both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The city has a remarkable historical legacy tied to Russia and Russian-European relations. We offer the best combination of urban environment, nature, landscape, and lifestyle, which is closest to the experience one would have in the cities of Central Russia.
