The Russian Geographical Society will be opening its first office in Malta later this year.
The inauguration of the Malta office will be one of this year’s main events for the U-Group, the mother company of U-Boat Malta Ltd that recently provided a submarine C-Explorer 5 to Russian President Vladimir Putin during Baltic Depths 2013, which he used to explore the wreckage of the sailing screw frigate Oleg in the Finish Gulf.
“This is a huge opportunity for Malta,” said U-Boat Malta Ltd director-general Anastasia Budykho.
“Heritage, along with innovation, is at the very core of our company and we see Malta as an ideal place to venture our business and cultural partnership,” she added.
