In Politè, the main musical international event of the year — the concert “Interview”, dedicated to Russian Language Day, took place. Students from 64 countries around the world became participants in the celebration. The event gathered a full hall and proved: the Russian language unites continents, cultures, and hearts.
The concert was opened with a solemn parade of flags. To the sound of the march, the hall welcomed representatives of all participating countries.
Flags were raised, hearts beat in unison
,— noted the hosts.
The first guest was a student from Algeria, Dikra Zorgani, who performed the poignant song “Mother Earth.” The video sequence, created by a neural network with Russian folk imagery, emphasized the depth of the composition.
A student from Cameroon, Ntamak Ngue Nazaret, transported the audience to the banks of the Neva River. His performance of the song “White Night” was accompanied by views of the St. Petersburg embankments and drawbridges. And the Vietnamese Nguyen Binh Minh made the hall hold its breath with “Dark Night” — under the vaults, memories of the Great Patriotic War sounded, with war chronicles changing on the screen.
The Russian color was added by the ensemble “Vdohnovenie” with two fiery folk dances. And then a real potpourri began: students from Africa, Turkmenistan, and Indonesia mixed rhythms, costumes, and smiles in a dance duel.
The episode “Only Mine” caused special delight. At that moment, photos of beloved teachers appeared on the screen. The hall sang along.
The production “Eastern Tales” featuring an international ensemble immersed the audience in the atmosphere of bazaars and mysteries, while a short humorous sketch “Teachers’ Chat Correspondence” caused an explosion of laughter. The genre shift was ensured by a student from China, Lu Yi’an, embodying Viktor Tsoi: to rock chords and black glasses, the legendary song “Changes!” was sounded.
A lyrical note was brought in by a guest from Turkmenistan with the composition “Give Flowers to Women.” During the performance, flowers began to be presented to the female audience members in the hall, creating an atmosphere of tenderness.
The culmination was a flash mob to the song “Neporozhnie”: students from different countries, dressed in bright costumes, showed that differences are not an obstacle to friendship. Then the song “Graduation” sounded in honor of the end of the academic year — all concert participants took the stage.
The final chord — “Russia” under a waving huge tricolor and small flags in the hands of the artists.
Such events as Russian Language Day are extremely important for shaping a positive image of our university abroad. We put in tremendous effort so that each year it becomes better, collects higher quality issues, and most importantly, increases the level of Russian language proficiency among our potential applicants.

Russian Language Day is evidence that language is not just grammar and rules. It is love, understood without translation.
