🏆 Our colleagues at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation are organising the 2026 World Russian Language Championship!

Foreign citizens and stateless persons aged 16 to 35 from around the world are invited to take part. Each team must consist of three participants and one mentor.

🚘 From July to October, the teams will compete in online qualifying rounds. The 30 strongest teams will travel to Moscow for the Championship final, which will take place from November 19 to 23.

Participants can look forward to competitive challenges, a cultural programme, new connections, and opportunities to meet people from different countries. The winners will receive the title of World Russian Language Champion, the Championship Cup, and an opportunity to study at a Russian university under the quota of the Government of the Russian Federation.

📌 Participation is free of charge.

📅 Applications are open until July 27, 2026.
