All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade, higher education institution in Moscow, Russia
The All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade is a university in Moscow's Ramenki District focused on training specialists in international trade and economic relations. The campus features modern educational buildings with classrooms and language labs equipped with audio and video technology, a library opened in 2020 with reading areas and a café, and a four-story sports center with a swimming pool and gym.
The academy was founded in 1931 to train managers and experts in foreign trade during the Soviet era, with Anastas Mikoyan playing an important role in its establishment. After the Soviet Union dissolved, it was renamed the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade and adapted its programs to the new economic realities of the 1990s.
The name reflects its specialization in preparing professionals for international economic relations, and this mission shapes how people use the spaces on campus. You'll see students from different countries studying together and practicing languages, making the atmosphere one where cultural exchange happens naturally through daily interactions.
The campus is easy to reach with a large parking lot for students and staff, while a new dormitory from 2020 on Pudovkina Street sits right on campus for convenient housing. A café near the library building offers a practical place to relax between classes, and a medical center open daily supports students' health needs.
The institution is a co-founder of the Russian-French University and part of the Alliance of Russian and Spanish Universities, reflecting its global influence. These partnerships allow students to engage internationally and understand different business environments firsthand, a feature that sets it apart from many other Russian universities.
