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
