The American Center at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, is one of approximately 650 American Spaces supported by the U.S. Department of State.

Key program activities under this cooperative agreement will include hiring new, and supporting existing American Center staff members, who have expertise in program and event management; purchasing and maintaining all necessary technology, materials, and supplies to provide a basis for engagement with Russian audiences; and designing a flexible and dynamic program of activities each month to interact with Russian visitors to the center and encourage visitors to return regularly.
