The Russian Geographical Society has always viewed the dissemination of geographical knowledge about Russia as one of its most important goals. The Society has based its activities on the principles of transparency and availability of information to all those interested in our nature, science and modern initiatives. Getting in touch with the Society would allow you to gain access to the unique data that have been carefully selected, accumulated and preserved for 165 years. We have it all, from the description of the very first expedition funded by the Russian Geographical Society to the information on the cutting-edge projects and latest news.

In our work we go by the following principle that was put into words by a great geographer and the President of the Russian Geographical Society Mr. Sergey Lavrov (1928-2000). Mr. Lavrov called for the Society «to show the role of geography, its capabilities and increasing importance to the widest audience possible using the up-to-date media networks.»
