Rusfurence (Russian: Русфуренция; known as Rusfurrence prior to 2015, and also known as RusCon or Russian Furry Conference) is an annual and biggest furry convention in Moscow, Russia, usually taking place as student holidays start, at the end of January - beginning of February. However, Rusfurence 2019 is to be held at the end of August.
Rusfurence is fairly small compared to other furry conventions, but its attendance in recent years has grown to over 400 furs. Among the challenges to its continued growth are:
- lengthy and expensive travel for non-local furries
- overly restrictive hotel policies
- growing separation between different factions in the Russian furry fandom (art fans, therianthropes, lifestylers, etc.)[citation needed]
