RCAH in the scientific and educational space of St. Petersburg and Russia

The Russian Christian Academy for the Humanities was established by a team of research philosophers and teachers in 1989 as a private institution of higher education offering systematic fundamental education in the humanities (ancient languages, history of world culture, philosophy, etc.), taking into account the value components of Christianity as a general foundation of European culture. RCAH is essentially a research university, since education is built in accordance with the author's developments, and the research and publishing activities of the Academy are supported by leading Russian scientific foundations (RFBR, RNF, RHSF).
