    я закончила учёбу
    я окончила обучение - formal
    (where self is a female)

    I suggest you not to use the verb "кончить" in informal speech because on slang it means "to have an orgasm"

    If you mean 'i finished studying something'

    я закончила изучать + (Accusative) or
    я закончила изучение + (Genitive)

    both correct.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
