The American Russian Center (ARC), formerly known as Russian Soul, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization. It serves as a community for Russian speakers in Minnesota, organizing and hosting events, language classes, cultural presentations, and demonstrations, as well as participating in radio and TV shows. The mission of ARC is to preserve and promote the rich and diverse cultural and artistic heritage and to serve as a liaison between the Russian-speaking diasporas and the broader community of the Twin Cities. Our national heritage is diverse – we are from the U.S., Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, and other countries. We condemn the aggression of the Russian leadership against Ukraine, its sovereignty, and citizens.
