🎥 Live from Moscow: Pushkin Speaks in Many Languages

Every year on June 6, a special day arrives for our fellows in Russian studies. Russia celebrates the birthday of Alexander Pushkin — a poet whose works have shaped not only Russian literature, but the Russian language itself.

By tradition, on this day our fellows together with their mentors from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute gather at the monument to Pushkin in the heart of Moscow to pay tribute to his legacy through poetry, music, and literary readings.

⭕️A fellow from Senegal reflected on Pushkin’s African ancestry and the importance of this legacy for readers across the continent.

⭕️ A participant from Tajikistan read Tatiana’s famous letter from Eugene Onegin.

⭕️ A fellow from Serbia presented Tatiana’s letter in Serbian translation.

⭕️ And a participant from India performed a romance based on Pushkin’s poetry, accompanying the piece on guitar.

From poetry readings to music, the event became a reminder that Pushkin’s works continue to unite people from different countries through a shared appreciation of language, literature, and culture.

We invite you to enjoy these special moments with us ⭕️
