It is a well-known fact that during the past decade a lot of Russians-speaking people made their choice to move to Florida from other US states and from the countries of former Soviet Union. The Russian-speaking Community of Florida grew significantly and it continues to increase at a rapid rate. According to unofficial information, now more than 300,000 Russian-speaking residents are in Florida.

In order to outreach our people as much as possible, we decided to start publishing our Bilingual Russian-English publication “Russian-American Magazine”.
