A Day Dedicated to the Russian Language ⭕️

This week, our fellows in Russian studies joined celebrations marking Russian Language Day and the 226th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Pushkin — a poet whose works continue to unite readers across the world.

Here’s how our fellows celebrated the day:

⭕️ Laying flowers at the monument to Alexander Pushkin together with the Rector of the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute and paying tribute to the founder of modern Russian literary language.

⭕️ Meeting with Vladimir Pakhomov from the Total Dictation Foundation at the Slovo Pavilion at VDNH and learning more about one of the most popular Russian-language educational initiatives.

⭕️ Taking part in a press conference dedicated to Russian Language Day alongside leading experts in education, culture, and public diplomacy.

⭕️ Performing Pushkin’s poetry on the main stage at Pushkin Square, where four InteRussia fellows shared the poet’s works with a large audience.

⭕️ Exploring the life and legacy of Russia’s most celebrated poet during a visit to the State Museum of Pushkin

A week filled with new knowledge, inspiring encounters, and experiences — a fitting way to celebrate the language that brought our fellows to Moscow from 16 different countries.
