PSU hosted an international event for Victory Day.

The organizers were the Centre for International Education, the Centre for North Caucasian Languages and Cultures and the Institute of Translation, Russian Studies and Multilingualism. The format turned out to be truly lively: the participants not only listened, but also created together.

Students from Germany, Argentina, Turkey, Cuba, China and Algeria read poems about the war in Russian and their native languages, sang songs of the war years, shared their impressions of the feat and memory. The meeting ended with a thematic quiz, in which participants from different countries united and showed excellent knowledge.
