Learning Russian 'travel' prepositions

Today we'll travel around Russia and learn prepositions of direction and location, used with the Genitive case.

Along with the prepositions in the pictures (из, до, от, недалеко от, около), there are many others. Here are some more examples:

Preposition ‘у’

  • Наш офис прямо у станции метро "Новокузнецкая". Давай встретимся там.
  • Our office is right by the Novokuznetskaya metro station. Let's meet there

Preposition ‘напротив’

  • ГУМ находится на Красной площади, напротив Кремля.
  • GUM department store is on Red Square in front of the Kremlin.

Preposition ‘мимо’

  • Мы прошли мимо Третьяковской галереи и вышли на набережную.
  • We passed by Tretyakov Gallery and came to the embankment.
