Studies (SCRSS) is a library and cultural centre, based in London,
that promotes knowledge of the culture, language and history of
Russia and the former Soviet Union. The Society is a Registered

We organise events such as seminars,
exhibitions, lectures and films, and promote Russian language

London. We facilitate cultural contacts between the UK and Russia.
And we publish a journal, the SCRSS
