For two weeks the participants of the Summer School studied the Russian language, history and culture. During this time the students not only successfully attended lectures of leading teachers of our University, but also learnt more about Russian culture and traditions, visited the iconic sights of Moscow and some historical sites of Russia.
Ekaterina Kameneva, Vice Rector for Educational and Methodological Work, always notes the importance of organizing summer school programs for foreign students at the FinU, "This is another opportunity to demonstrate in practice the openness of our society despite difficult times and the high level of Russian education. The audience gets acquainted with our country, its culture and historical heritage. This allows them to form an independent image of Russia and its people, and for some students it becomes a decisive moment in choosing the FinU to continue their education".
