The company named 'Ziegler & Partner GmbH' was registered in August
1993 by Marco Ziegler and his partners after he had spent several
months studying Russian at Moscow State University (MGU) as an exchange
student. The company was originally founded to help the local Russian
professors at MGU to survive in the hard days of 1992/1993. Since then
'Ziegler & Partner GmbH' is helping several hundred students every
year to study Russian in Moscow and other cities. Today, Ziegler &
Partner GmbH is an official representative of Moscow State University MGU
and collaborates also with universities and Language schools in
St.Petersburg, Odessa, Kaliningrad, Irkutsk and Vladivostok. Through
our connections to lecturers and professors of all departments of
Moscow State University and our partner universities, we are able to
offer you high-quality tuition at a very competitive price. Since 1994,
the company is also offering individual and group travel along the
transsiberian railway and travel offers are available from our sites www.transsib.com and www.russland.net
