The St. Petersburg Rehabilitation and Recovery of Invalids Organization provides information and referrals on infrastructure and accessibility.  Their e-mail is spboviri@mail.wplus.net.  Tourist offices and tour companies are also an excellent sources regarding the accessibility of a city and its tourist sites.  Try contacting the Russian National Tourist Offices in New York at (212) 575-3431 or you can try contacting a tour agent such as Lapina Darya who operates tours for wheelchair users.  Her e-mail is bigblins@yandex.ru.

The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE) staff also maintain country sheets on a number of countries that offer general information about accessibility, service dog information, in-country disability organizations, and exchange organizations that have programs in the country.  We can send you our country sheet on Russia if you are interested. 

We also maintain a peer network that will allow you to communicate with an individual with a disability who has been to Russia.  Go to our Peer Network to request the e-mail or phone number of an individual who has been to Russia.
