The answer of Head of Admission Committee Egor Yablokov:
All Postgraduate programs (PhD) at the SPbU are delivered in Russian language.
All information about the competition, organized by the St. Petersburg State University, including a list of required documents and PhD specialties which you can apply as well as deadlines for documents submitting are published on the web-site of SPBU Admission Committee (abiturient.spsu.ru) in the part "Admission of foreign citizens".
Please pay attention that according to Russian laws if you already have a PhD, you can study at Postgraduate program in Russia only on fee-paying basis.
For learning Russian we can suggest preparatory course on the Russian language before the application to the PhD. A preparation course in Russian lasts 10 months. Upon completion of the course students obtain a graduation certificate from SPbU. As well, they can take a state examination “Test of Russian as Foreign Language” (TORFL) and obtain a certificate of a correspondent level which is needed to apply for studies at the SPbU. More detailed information about the foundation course and a full list of programs offered you can find here.
