The international student construction team of RUDN "Meridian of Friendship" completed its work with a ceremonial closing ceremony. Almost 200 fighters from 47 countries of the world summed up the results of a productive work semester.

Each of them received well-deserved gratitude and memorable gifts from the hands of the university administration. The culmination of the ceremony was the festive concert "Construction team, we are not saying goodbye to you", which was prepared by the students themselves.

“Invaluable work experience, reliable and loyal comrades, a great time, all of this is the Meridian of Friendship,” says Ramil Aznabaev (Russia), Bachelor of Science, Institute of World Economy and Business, RUDN University (Management major, 2nd year).

“Working in a construction team is a real school of life, where every brush becomes a symbol of unity and a source of pride for a common cause,” says Estefania Vargas Nivicela Michel (Ecuador), a student at the RUDN University Medical Institute (General Medicine major, 1st year).

International cast – shared success

During the summer holidays, the work teams tidied up the university campus. Team "Prometheus" overhauled the academic and administrative buildings, and "Atlantes" carried out a comprehensive overhaul of the dormitories.

4 teams of students washed 57,000 square meters of windows. Thanks to them, sunlight fills the classrooms and students' rooms, delighting them with cleanliness. The guys used 1,207 cans of paint to paint the walls, small architectural forms, benches and fences, and the total area of the repaired surfaces was 24,745 square meters. The team members earned an average of 62,700 rubles per month. The students liked painting the most.

“Every renovated building, every washed window opening, every painted fence is not just the result of work, it is the embodiment of love for one’s university and concern for its future,” says Vladimir Sergeev, director of the Center for Active Programs for Assistance to Youth at RUDN University.

Labor, creativity, sports

The construction team members had an eventful life outside of work as well. They had creative evenings, beauty contests, concerts, as well as football, table tennis and volleyball tournaments. The students also went on a sightseeing tour of Moscow and Kolomna. Of course, one of the most exciting events of the shift was the "Miss and Mister Construction Team" contests. Girls and boys talked about their countries from the stage, sang, danced, demonstrated their ingenuity and manual dexterity.

"I didn't think I would win, I was very tense, because it was my first time participating. But I managed to cope with myself. For the competition, I sewed a T-shirt for the fashion show with my own hands, plus we also made outfits for ourselves from black garbage bags right on stage. It was fun! The construction team is my second family. Here I found real friends from all over the world, learned to work in an international team, and experienced unforgettable moments. These memories will stay with me forever," – Adeline Dorete Rasuanirina (Madagascar), a student of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of RUDN (International Relations major, 4th year).

Among the boys, the winner was Jean Pierre Sishugi Bisimwa from the Democratic Republic of Congo. We wrote about his experience working in a construction team in our July article. The student won over the jury and the public at the "Mr. Construction Team" competition so much that he not only received a diploma in the main nomination, but also won the titles of "Mr. Audience Choice" and "Mr. Artistry".

"I sang the song "Forward, Russia!" at the competition in honor of the National Flag Day and danced to national and modern music. A surprise challenge for us was the task of screwing screws into wood until they stop in two minutes. I coped with almost all stages of the competition perfectly, but in the intellectual game I got a little confused in answering the questions. But I still managed to win! Participation in the RUDN construction team gave me unique professional experience, a chance to expand my horizons and, of course, earn money," Jean Pierre Sishugi Bisimva, Bachelor of Engineering Academy (Construction major, 1st year).

Achievements and recognition

The RUDN team members also showed off their talents in the Moskvich labor project, which was organized by the Moscow regional branch of the Russian Student Teams. Our students won the first three places in the following nominations:

"Performance Skills" (Bisimva Jean Pierre Sishougi); "Team Dance"; "Author's Artistic Word" (Guetanis Christian Rustich Stephen).

In hand is a university map, the goal is to visit all the places marked on it, complete tasks and get rewards. The first day at RUDN for first-year students was held in the style of a quest or a computer game-walker in reality. 21 locations and three hours of time – on your marks, get set, let's go!

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body!

The students had to go around more than one building, and for this they needed to warm up well and get a boost of energy after the first September classes. The newcomers were helped with this at the location of the Druzhba physical education and health complex. The girls were given mats and given the task of doing abdominal exercises for 30 seconds, the exercise could be replaced with squats. The guys demonstrated the strength of their arms by doing push-ups.

"Everyone is so athletic! Come on, sign up for the sections!" the FOK trainers said with a smile.

But not only the athletic first-year students of RUDN, but also masters of humor. This was confirmed at the Interclub at the KVN location. The newcomers discussed the topic: "There are many ways to lose money, but how to increase income?"

The girls jokingly suggested finding a guy for this. But the answer to the question of what to take with you to another planet would please the creators of the MAX messenger. According to one of the first-year students, it must definitely catch and provide communication with Earth there.

After joking around, the students went off to sing karaoke songs and dance Russian folk dances.

The smartest new kid

However, music was also played at the location where one could get acquainted with communities from Lebanon, Vietnam, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Columbia and others. Foreign students from RUDN University led first-year students in dancing to the sounds of their national melodies. Representatives from Lebanon taught the dabka dance to the sounds of the drum.

"It's great, it's so much fun here! They even let us try on national costumes! We also liked the KVN location, we even thought about trying ourselves in humor. We entered RUDN in the "Journalism" program. I did it because I dream of working in television, and my friend followed in the footsteps of her mother, a photojournalist. We chose RUDN because of the good reviews, especially about the internship, interesting education. In addition, it is a point of attraction for different cultures, an unusual university!" – Elizaveta Smirnova and Alisa Makarova, bachelors of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of RUDN.

Literally next to this atmosphere of an oriental holiday, students answered questions on a test about digital literacy. The answer options made everyone smile. For example, to the question: "Why do you need Excel?" you could answer that it helps to count the stars in the sky or keep track of train schedules. But, of course, everyone chose the right option – to calculate the project budget. But the guys really wanted to call Pavel Durov the creator of the Internet, because there is a grain of truth in the joke if we are talking about popular social networks in Russia. However, the father of the World Wide Web was still the British scientist Tim Burners-Lee.

At the admissions office location, students were also tested for erudition, but here many questions concerned facts about the university. For example, how many countries do students come from, do they give a car for excellent studies, and what are the corporate colors of RUDN. Future historian Karina Zhumagalieva had no trouble completing these tasks.

"I really like the atmosphere of the university, it's so beautiful and green here! And today is such a wonderful holiday, I've already managed to sing my fill and have fun. I entered the History program because I've always loved this subject and I'm especially interested in the history of the Soviet Union. Therefore, I hope to delve deeper into the study of this period," Karina Zhumagalieva, Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences at RUDN University.

Friends from 170 countries

Three hours of the RUDN University quest flew by unnoticed, and now the students began to gather at the stage on the square in front of the main building in anticipation of a welcoming speech from the RUDN University rector. The first-year students held posters in their hands with support for their faculties and institutes. Here and there, guys and girls began to chant: "Philology department-philology department!", "IMEB-IMEB!"

And here is the culmination – the flags of Russia and RUDN were brought out, and Oleg Aleksandrovich Yastrebov appeared in front of the first-year students.

"I congratulate you, you really have a very important day today. Knowledge Day at your new alma mater, this is your second home, which, believe me, will stay with you for life. I congratulate you on entering one of the best universities not only in Russia, but also in the world, whose graduates are in all countries without exception. You opened these doors with perseverance, talent, knowledge. We have a university of opportunities – use them! You will have amazing teachers. Do sports, volunteer. Meet – in your address book there will be friends from 170 countries of the world. I wish you success, good luck, guys!" – Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN.

After Oleg Aleksandrovich's warm words, our university's anthem began to sound, which was immediately picked up and sung by new RUDN students, who turned on the flashlights on their phones. On this touching note, the first day of the first-year students' journey came to an end. But ahead of them are many educational and career roads, achievements and victories.

"I entered RUDN University for "Foreign Regional Studies" because I dream of becoming a diplomat and a specialist in relations with China in the future, as this is a promising direction, which is confirmed by the foreign policy of our country. Relations with this state will play a big role. The university attracted me because it has high positions in the rankings, and in general it impresses with the level of education and the international scale of its activities," Roman Petrov, a bachelor of the RUDN University Institute of Foreign Languages.

"And I will study in the direction of "Innovation Management in Industrial Sectors". This is a promising direction that combines both the humanities and the exact sciences. I think it will be interesting for me to study. I liked RUDN because there are many activities here, and it is also international, there is an opportunity to make friends with guys from different parts of the world," – Victoria Merinova, Bachelor of Engineering Academy of RUDN.

For several years in a row, students and experts from the RUDN Institute of Ecology have been contributing to the federal project "Clean Air" of the national project "Ecological Well-Being". In 2025, they worked in 12 industrial cities of Russia at once: Lipetsk, Cherepovets, Nizhny Tagil, Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk, Omsk, Novokuznetsk, Bratsk, Chita, Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk and Mednogorsk.

The students were engaged in video recording of traffic during rush hours, formed datasets for traffic intensity analysis using artificial intelligence technologies, and also assessed the impact of traffic flows on air quality in various meteorological conditions.

Sunny nights and a wind that knocks you off your feet

Students who worked in Norilsk, a city where there is no summer in the usual sense of the word, shared their impressions of working within the project with us. The weather here can change in half an hour.

"Strong wind that knocked the camera and cones off our feet and shook them, cold rain… Sometimes the bad weather lowered our work spirit and we wanted to give up. In addition, one of the difficulties was the polar day. After all, the sun does not set over Norilsk for 189 days, and even the locals, not to mention visitors, have completely lost their sleep patterns, and day and night mix. Therefore, for the first four days of our stay in the city, we could not get used to the fact that at three o'clock in the morning it was light outside and the sun was shining," – Ekaterina Kostenko, Bachelor of Science, RUDN Institute of Ecology (field of study "Energy and Resource-Saving Processes in Chemical Engineering, Petrochemistry and Biotechnology", 2nd year student).

The students also drew attention to environmental problems in Norilsk.

“The emissions here hit the mucous membranes and skin, causing unpleasant and sometimes painful sensations in the nose and throat,” says Vladislav Fadeev, a master’s student at the RUDN University Institute of Ecology (Ecology and Nature Management, 2nd year).

Local care

But despite the difficulties, the students also remembered the city from a pleasant side. Especially thanks to the care of local residents. According to the students, they always asked whether the participants of the national project needed help and even gave small gifts.

"I was approached many times and asked about something, were interested. There were various interesting conversations, even with Norilsk Nickel employees. But one of the most interesting moments happened when, as I understood, a local photographer passed by. He took pictures of everyone present. Later, when I had already moved on to other locations (it was eight in the morning!), he found me and gave me the pictures in which I was.

In their free time, the students enjoyed exploring Norilsk and its sights. For example, they visited a local museum and climbed one of the peaks of the Kharaelakh mountain range.

“In the museum, we were able to see and touch minerals and ores that we had previously only studied in theory during geology classes,” says Ekaterina Kostenko.

City of strong people

Participation in the federal project allowed RUDN students to acquire many useful skills that will be useful to them in their future work.

"We have developed, so to speak, immunity, increased stress resistance, since we found ourselves in quite unforeseen and difficult situations, from which we had to quickly find a way out, make fairly quick decisions that would subsequently affect the work, the filming. Therefore, the experience gained here is useful not only in our professional activities, but also in all spheres of life in general," – Valeria Romanova, Bachelor of the Institute of Ecology of RUDN (Ecology and Nature Management, 4th year).

"The main skill I gained was the experience of a business trip. Since in the future, when I start working in my specialty, I will most likely have to travel to different cities as well," says Daniil Dubovitsky, a bachelor's student at the Institute of Ecology at RUDN (specializing in "Energy and resource-saving processes in chemical engineering, petrochemistry and biotechnology", 3rd year student).

"Norilsk is a city of strong people, so this trip became a real test of strength and stress resistance. And these are very important qualities for further career development. I also learned how to perform the measurements that we took, and even got excited about the idea of doing an internship at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation," Ekaterina Kostenko.

About the project

The federal project "Clean Air" is being implemented within the framework of the national project "Ecological Well-being". It is aimed at reducing air pollution in large industrial centers. Its goal is to reduce the total volume of emissions in 22 cities participating in the project by 20% by 2030.

From a love for books about dinosaurs and National Geographic programs to a veterinarian. This is the path of a fourth-year student of the RUDN Agrarian and Technological Institute (specialization: Veterinary Science) Vagram Zadoyan. In honor of his professional holiday, which will be celebrated in Russia on August 31, he shared stories from his work at a veterinary clinic and gave advice to future colleagues.

Is choosing a profession a childhood dream?

Somehow, it all started in childhood: books about dinosaurs, TV programs like National Geographic and Animal Planet, and I also lived in the village for some time. In addition, in Armenia, where my roots are, there is a holiday called “Atam atik” — it is celebrated after a child’s first tooth appears. The essence of the holiday: objects symbolizing different professions are laid out in front of the baby: a microphone for an artist, a stethoscope for a doctor, scissors for a tailor, and so on. It is believed that the first object that a child chooses is associated with his future professional path. I chose a plush dog. So, apparently, I decided who I would become already in my deep childhood.

Why did you enter RUDN?

Because it is a beautiful university that unites many countries and professions. You can make friends with specialists from a variety of fields: lawyers, customs officers, pharmacists. In life, you need good friends and connections (smiles). But the main thing is that they give you knowledge that you really use in practice. Sometimes I review lectures and reread notes that I wrote in class. A doctor studies all his life and returns to the topics he has covered to reinforce everything for sure. Most often, I review lectures on surgery.

Have any of your teachers become mentors to you? If so, what did they teach you?

Yes, Sergey Aleksandrovich Yagnikov. He used to teach surgery here, now he has two clinics where he works. It so happened that he gave me a topic for my diploma thesis, which I am very happy about. I still remember his quotes. For example: "A good doctor has no bite marks or scratches on his hands" or "You have two hands, but one face" (about getting too close to an aggressive animal).

What year did you start working? And is it difficult to combine study with work?

I started working already at the end of the first semester of the first year. It was difficult at the beginning, as everything was new, but gradually I got into it: professional doctors explained things well. Sometimes I asked for time off from classes or went with other groups from the stream so as not to miss classes. The teachers at the university are understanding, as all veterinary students need practice, otherwise they will not be able to become doctors right after graduation. I still have enough energy to combine both, the battery does not run out.

Where do you work now and what are your responsibilities?

I am a veterinary assistant at the VetProfAlliance clinic. The help required from an assistant may vary. Sometimes you need to lift a 70-kilogram Tibetan mastiff, and in orthopedic surgery you even need to bend metal plates and break bones. The clinic allows you to work at appointments, in the intensive care unit, in intensive care, in surgery, on ultrasound and MRI. And so on, until you decide in which direction you want to develop and move.

What difficulties have you encountered in your work? How do you cope with emotional stress? After all, veterinarians often encounter animal suffering and the grief of their owners.

Of course, I had difficult patients, for example, with a weak heart or rare mutations and anomalies. There were wild and very aggressive animals. But when you work for a long time, you get used to everything, no matter how sad it may sound. There were also emotional burnouts, but at such moments, colleagues and friends from the university helped me. The clinics have their own psychologists who help employees in difficult times. I feel better after training in the gym and time spent with my family. Everyone copes in their own way.

A veterinarian's job is not only treating pets, but also communicating with their owners. Do you always manage to establish contact with people?

There were no particular problems with animal owners. As the doctors at my clinic tell me: "You are a sensitive and charming person, so people feel calmer with you." In difficult moments, you need to show understanding, compassion, and empathy. There are clinics and doctors who say that this is not professional, but I think this is a lie. We are used to seeing various injuries and illnesses in animals, but not people who come to us for help. Sometimes people can say too much in the heat of the moment, so you need to control yourself and know how to calm them down.

What is the most pleasant memory you have from your practice at the clinic?

One day, a granny came with a cat. I needed to give her pet an IV. I prepared everything in front of her, and she said, "Wow, they didn't teach us this in medical school in the first year, and you're such a good boy!" In gratitude for helping the cat, she treated me to jam and apples. It was very nice.

Do you have a pet yourself?

Yes, the cat Dymok. I took him from the clinic, they brought him and left him at the door, like in old movies they throw children on the porch. The next day, everyone was wondering what to do with him, in the end I decided to take him. My parents were against it, but now my dad drinks tea with him, and my mom cuddles him until she's blue in the face. One day, a strong wind blew a window in our house, and Dymok fell from the ninth floor. Everyone was in a panic, but I managed to calm down and examine my pet, after which I realized that everything would be fine. Dymok broke his femur, but the doctor and I patched him up. I often remember that day, was I scared? Yes, I was. But if everyone is scared, then who will pull themselves together and act? I'm glad that I learned not to lose their head in emergency situations. Dymok is fine now. He lives his own happy cat life, a couple of months ago he turned two years old.

What are your professional plans for the future?

I would like to open my own clinic and manage it. But first I need to get a taste of working with animals on the front lines, so for now I plan to delve into orthopedic surgery, working with bones, joints and ligaments.

Finally, give some advice to those who dream of entering veterinary science.

The main thing for a veterinarian is to be attentive, kind, but have an inner core. If you want to learn something, then approach teachers, doctors and ask what is unclear. This way they will understand that it is important and necessary for you. Do not be shy and believe in yourself! At first it will be difficult, and there will be thoughts that maybe this is not for me? This is temporary, it is worth finding a clinic with a cool team, good mentors and career growth, and you will take your words back.

Forests are not only the lungs of the planet, but also home to millions of species. However, until now it has remained unclear how underground interactions between trees and fungi affect forest species richness in different climates. Previous studies have produced conflicting results: in some regions, the dominance of certain fungi reduced tree diversity, while in others, it increased it.

There are two main types of fungi that participate in symbiosis with trees: ectomycorrhizal (ECM fungi) and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM fungi).

ESM fungi form a dense "cover" (mantle) on tree roots, but do not penetrate into the plant cells. They help trees obtain water and nutrients, and protect the roots from diseases. AM fungi penetrate into the root cells, forming tree-like structures called arbuscules. They improve the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.

An international team with the participation of scientists from RUDN University conducted a large-scale study, analyzing data from 4,090 forest plots around the world. Using the global GFBI database, they studied the relationship between the proportion of trees that form symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcM) and the species richness of forests. Modern statistical methods were used for the analysis, including generalized linear models, random forest models, and structural equations, which made it possible to take into account the influence of climate, soil, and other factors.

"For the first time, we have obtained a global picture of how mycorrhizal symbioses, these invisible underground alliances, shape the visible diversity of forests from the equator to the Arctic. The study confirmed that the role of fungal symbioses depends on climatic conditions. For example, in the tropics and humid regions, the dominance of EcM trees reduces species richness, since these fungi suppress pathogens and reduce competition. In boreal forests and arid zones, maximum diversity is achieved with a mixture of trees with different types of mycorrhiza (EcM and AM). In temperate latitudes, an intermediate variant is observed, where diversity is higher with a moderate proportion of EcM trees.

The results can be used in forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, and for predicting changes in forest ecosystems. For example, in forest restoration work, the selection of tree species taking into account local fungal symbioses will help create more sustainable and diverse forest ecosystems. Management of soil fungal communities can become a new tool for maintaining species richness in forests. Also, understanding the interaction of fungi and forests improves the quality of predicting changes in forest ecosystems under the influence of climate and anthropogenic factors," said Dmitry Kucher, associate professor of the Institute of Ecology of RUDN University, co-author of the study.

The study was published in the scientific journal Science Advances. HTTPS: //VVV.SCensk.org/da/10.1126/ Scitiodv.Adt5743

About why the Russian “nothing scary” is better than any textbook, about tea with honey before exams and big dreams – Chinyama Kazombo, a student of the RUDN University Medical Institute (“General Medicine”, 3rd year) tells us.

You grew up in sunny Zambia with a dream of medicine. How did your path lead you to Russia?

I was attracted by the strong traditions of the Russian medical school and accessible education for foreigners. I knew about the contribution of Russian doctors to world science and wanted to study with the best. My parents, of course, were worried about the distance, but they supported me. They believe that this is a chance not only to change my life, but also to help people back home in Zambia.

Remember your first day in Russia. What surprised you the most?

Cold! I arrived in November. I got off the plane and there was… snow! It was new to me. I was immediately struck by the pace of life: people walk very quickly on the streets – as if they were in a hurry to conquer time. The first thing I learned was the Russian phrase: “No big deal.” I often heard it when I was confused about words. It calms you down and helps you not to be afraid of mistakes.

You have visited many parts of Russia. Which city impressed you the most?

When I came to Russia, I immediately fell in love with the hero city of Tula. There I studied Russian at the preparatory faculty of RUDN. Excursions around the city, Yasnaya Polyana and the famous Kremlin left the warmest memories of the beginning of my studies in Russia. I especially remember the Tula Gingerbread Museum: there I painted and ate a personalized gingerbread called "Chinyama" right there! My dream is to see Lake Baikal. Everyone says that its water is as clear as a tear. I want to see it for myself.

What surprises you about life in Russia?

I am amazed by how people retain their warmth even when it is -30 outside. And the depth of literature! After reading Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, I walked around under the impression for a week. I am still amazed by the architecture of Moscow: how old buildings coexist with modern skyscrapers. The custom that surprised me most was Maslenitsa. Burning an effigy and eating mountains of pancakes to see out the winter… I would never have thought of celebrating like that.

You combine work in the laboratory, science, event organization, sports, curating, KVN, international forums and study with excellent grades. How do you manage to do it all?

The secret is in planning, setting priorities and the ability to save time. Often you have to make a choice between activities, work and study. My priority is study. It always comes first. But forums and KVN give you the experience of communication that is important for a doctor. That is why sometimes I choose the third option: I sacrifice sleep. It is worth it!

What is your dream job?

I want to become a neurosurgeon. Zambia is in dire need of specialists capable of performing complex operations.

The first year of medical school is considered the most difficult. How do you remember it?

The hardest part was adapting to the strict schedule and volume of information. But I immediately fell in love with anatomy and physiology. I consider them the foundation of all medicine.

Let's imagine you have a time machine and you can go back to the beginning of your first year. What advice would you give yourself?

"Don't be silent if you don't understand something! Teachers appreciate a sincere desire to learn. Ask, clarify, ask for help. And buy a good thermos! Hot tea will warm you up in the cold and at night before an exam." By the way, I have a special ritual before assessments. I drink tea with honey. This advice was given to me by a Russian classmate. And I always listen to Zambian music. It reminds me why I started this path and gives me confidence.

Were there times when you doubted your choice of the medical profession?

After my first practice in the morgue, it was morally hard. But later, when I saw a patient thanking doctors with tears in his eyes for saving his life, all doubts disappeared. I realized that this was my calling.

You are the author of the scientific article "Tay-Sachs disease". What inspires you to choose research topics?

I always look at the problems of Zambia and all of Africa. For example, malaria – why do thousands of people still die from a preventable disease in the 21st century? I am looking for answers here, in the RUDN laboratories, so that one day I can apply this knowledge in my homeland.

If you could solve one global medical problem, what would you do?

Provide access to basic health care for people in African regions. Often people die not from incurable diseases, but because of late diagnosis or the inability to receive basic care.

What do you dream about?

I have two main dreams. The first is to open a clinic in Zambia with high-quality free care for those in need. The second is for my research to save at least one life. I want to contribute to global healthcare.

Tricolor unites: RUDN celebrated the Day of the State Flag of Russia

On the Day of the Russian National Flag, RUDN University was very lively. To the sounds of the song "Mother Earth" and other compositions about love for the homeland, students of our university decorated their faces with the flags of their countries: Costa Rica, Suriname, Vietnam, Columbia, Brazil and many others. And almost everyone asked to draw the Russian flag for themselves at the same time.

White-blue-red: how and when the Russian flag appeared

On August 22, Russia celebrates National Flag Day. In honor of the holiday, we decided to talk to the head of the Russian History Department of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at RUDN University, Elena Kryazheva-Kartseva, and find out when the tricolor appeared, who created it, and what other flags our country has had.

Youth, education and love: a RUDN student learned about her main values thanks to the program “Live and create in Russia”

Have you ever thought about what it means to “live”? This is the question that the participants of the second season of the educational program “Live and Create in Russia” of the All-Russian student project “Your Move” were asked to reflect on. Among them was RUDN student Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.

Students and teachers of RUDN spent four busy and productive days on the shores of the deepest lake in the world. At the International Youth Forum "Baikal" they attended dozens of lectures and master classes and held a panel discussion where they shared our university's experience in attracting students to science, internship programs, as well as the work of creative studios, communities and other extracurricular organizations.

The RUDN delegation consists of:

Mobin Alibafgi (Iran), Medical Institute, major in General Medicine; Yulia Ivanova (Russia), Medical Institute, major in General Medicine; Alfred Osman Kamara (Sierra Leone), Medical Institute, major in General Medicine; Keturah Musonda (Zambia), Medical Institute, Resident, major in Pediatrics; Polina Shcherbakova (Russia), Institute of World Economy and Business, Master's student, major in International Business and Finance; Sultana Bilkis (India), Institute of Russian Language, Postgraduate Student, major in Russian Literature and Literatures of the Peoples of the Russian Federation; Anastasia Voronchikhina (Russia), Faculty of Philology, Bachelor's degree, major in Advertising and Public Relations; Sofia Saakyan (Russia), Institute of World Economy and Business, Bachelor's degree, major in Linguistics; Al Daoud Jaafar (Syria), Institute of Russian Language, postgraduate student, Linguistics, specialist at the Educational and Scientific Information Library Center of RUDN University.

"Our team became one of the brightest and most active at the International Youth Clubs platform. At the plenary discussion organized by RUDN, I talked about how to combine scientific creativity with interdisciplinary approaches. Assistant of the Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology of the Medical Institute Enar Dzhumaniyazova shared her experience of working at the Research Institute of Molecular and Cellular Medicine of RUDN and highlighted the main areas of scientific research of the department. The event resulted in a project session with opinion leaders of the International Friendship Clubs. Experts and participants together developed solutions that will help young people in their professional activities. In general, the forum flew by in an instant, but nothing ends after the trip. We are already continuing active cooperation with our colleagues and intend to implement the projects that our students developed here," – Elena Kaverina, PhD in Medicine, Associate Professor of the Department of Public Health, Healthcare and Hygiene of the Medical Institute of RUDN.

Space for dialogue and transparency

One of our students, Polina Shcherbakova, put forward her project for the Rosmolodezh.Grants competition, which took place during the forum. The girl came up with the idea of the international digital platform Hummman.

"This will be a space for dialogue and transparency. Here, students from different countries will be able to first take online courses in areas of interest, and then team up and work on joint projects. The best will be able to participate in offline projects and attend lectures, forums and other similar events in different countries. In my opinion, this way we will kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, we will solve geopolitical issues by showing that Russia is not an aggressor, but an open and friendly country. And secondly, we will attract young people from different parts of the world for further joint work. There is an idea to involve the UN and UNESCO in the project, so that it has even greater significance and weight," Polina Shcherbakova, a master's student at the Institute of World Economy and Business, RUDN University (International Business and Finance, 2nd year).

Our student failed to win the grant this time, but the experts of the competition committee became interested in the project. They advised the girl to refine the idea a little. In particular, to find partners and select a team of like-minded people who will understand that they will have to work for some time on a voluntary basis. After making adjustments, according to the experts, the student will be able to apply for the grant competition again. This is what Polina intends to do.

Also at the forum, RUDN students and teachers developed a project aimed at the adaptation of foreign students. The guys called it "Matryoshka of the World: Discover Russia and the World in the Game."

"We plan to create board games that will help foreign students integrate into the Russian educational space. They will introduce them to the culture, geography, history of Russia and other countries of the world. So, in one of the games "Where is Valera?" one person will receive a map with his location. The other players must take turns asking him questions to figure out where he is. The host should not answer directly, but in such a way that it is difficult to guess. In general, the results that we expect from the project are facilitating the process of adaptation of foreigners to life in Russia, reducing their stress levels and developing communication skills," – Keturah Musonda, resident of the RUDN Medical Institute (Pediatrics).

Songs for the soul

To give students a break from intensive educational work, the forum also prepared an entertainment program for them. Including evening concerts, where students showed off their talents. Participants of the RUDN folk studio "Nettle" Anastasia Voronchikhina and Sultana Bilkis sang the Russian folk song "Prolegala Put Dorozhka", and Keturah Musonda sang the hit by Alsou "Zimniy Son".

"We also attended lectures with top speakers, including famous athletes Roman Kostomarov, Nikolai Valuev, pilot and Hero of Russia Damir Yusupov. We participated in sports events. But I was especially impressed by the jeep excursion through the Tazheran steppes, where we saw petroglyphs and heard legends of the Irkutsk region and Buryatia," says Yulia Ivanova, a student at the RUDN Medical Institute (General Medicine major, 4th year).

And the main thing that all forum participants noted was that the days on Baikal were filled with an atmosphere of happiness, love and friendship.

"The Baikal Forum left an incredible impression! As a foreign participant, I was literally captivated by the unique energy and the opportunity to communicate with so many ambitious and goal-oriented young leaders from all over Russia and the world. Several days of intensive work and productive discussions against the backdrop of the stunning nature of Lake Baikal flew by in the blink of an eye. It was a perfect symbiosis of gaining new knowledge, networking and cultural exchange – an experience that dramatically expanded my horizons," – Al Daoud Jaafar, PhD student at the Institute of Russian (Linguistics).

“From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking beauty of Lake Baikal — its crystal clear waters, serene landscapes, and vibrant nature created the perfect environment for dialogue, learning, and collaboration. The forum brought together young leaders, innovators, and change-makers from different cities. Through workshops, panel discussions, and cultural exchanges, I gained a new perspective on global issues and the role of youth in developing sustainable solutions. Beyond the sessions, the forum facilitated meaningful networking. I met incredible young people whose ideas, passion, and energy were truly motivating. Sharing experiences, learning different perspectives, and celebrating our cultures enriched my understanding of what it means to be part of a global youth community,” — Alfred Osman Kamara, RUDN Medical Institute student (General Medicine major, 6th year).

About the forum

The Baikal Forum was held from August 11 to 15. This year, 600 people from 46 regions of Russia and 15 countries took part in it, and about 150 speakers — regional and federal experts, entrepreneurs, scientists and public figures — spoke at its venues.

The event was dedicated to the development of competencies of successful young people in various spheres of life and activity, their personal and professional self-realization, the formation of a communication environment and conditions for supporting youth initiatives.

The forum had seven platforms:

"Tourism"; "Entrepreneurship"; "Young politicians"; "Young teachers"; "Ecology"; "Leaders of municipalities"; "International youth clubs".

The event was organized by the Irkutsk Region Government, the regional Ministry of Youth Policy, with the participation of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District, and with the support of Rosmolodezh and the general partner, the Irkutsk Oil Company (INK).

On the Day of the Russian National Flag, RUDN University was very lively. To the sounds of the song "Mother Earth" and other compositions about love for the homeland, students of our university decorated their faces with the flags of their countries: Costa Rica, Suriname, Vietnam, Columbia, Brazil and many others. And almost everyone asked to draw the Russian flag for themselves at the same time.

Some of the students even dressed in their country's colors in honor of the holiday. And a student from Guyana wore a national headdress.

"I am a representative of the indigenous peoples of Guyana. Therefore, in honor of the holiday, I decided to decorate myself with our "crown" and thus express myself through national identity. This is the first time I participate in such an event, I am impressed by such a sense of pride for my country, patriotism among Russians. And I am pleased to join and participate in the holiday, since the university is already like a second home for me," Singh Resien Mea, Bachelor of Engineering Academy of RUDN (Oil and Gas Engineering, 3rd year).

The girl's friend (an Indian) noted that Guyana is the only country in South America where they speak English.

"The green field of our flag represents the nature and agriculture of Guyana. It has a red triangle – a symbol of perseverance – with a black border, which speaks of the fortitude of the locals. There is also a gold triangle on the flag, which symbolizes the wealth of mineral resources, with a white border, indicating the rivers and water resources of the country," – Sukra Ievnia, a student of the RUDN Medical Institute (the direction of "General Medicine", 5th year).

Moscow, Russia, Motherland

After everyone had decorated themselves in honor of the holiday and taken plenty of photos, it was time for a small concert and games. The host called out a word, and the students had to remember a song on this topic. The one after whom no one else suggested options received a gift with branded university products.

"So, who can name me a song about Russia?" the host asked the first question. Many options immediately came up: Lyube's "From the Volga to the Yenisei", "Come on, Russia!", "Where does the Motherland Begin" and, of course, our country's anthem. Between games, the participants of the celebration were entertained by the group "Altair". The guys performed popular hits, such as "Marshrutka" by IOWA and Andrey Gubin, and their own compositions. The students danced, applauded the musicians and sang along with them with pleasure. And to make it even more interesting, the group's vocalist invited the bravest of the spectators to the stage to try himself as a drummer. A student from Palestine volunteered.

"I am absolutely delighted with the holiday, so many positive emotions! I have never picked up drumsticks before, but I managed to hit the cymbal in time," – Bisan Abdul Razak, Bachelor of Philology, RUDN (Journalism major, 2nd year).

In addition to the Motherland, the host asked the students such words as Moscow and Motherland. And each time a serious battle broke out: the students tried to remember as many songs as possible.

Day of Unity

The fun was gradually approaching the culmination of the holiday. Students began to gather on the square in front of the main building of RUDN, where for the second year in a row they were to unfurl a huge Russian flag measuring 50×27 m. The participants were a little nervous, as everyone wanted the event to go off without a hitch. In total, more than 200 students from 90 countries took part in it!

"The flags of Russia and my country, Costa Rica, are similar. We also have blue, white and red, only there are five stripes and a different order of colors. Last year I was unable to participate in the unfolding, and I am glad that this time I became a participant in the celebration. I believe that everything will go well," says Esteban Josue Gutierrez Benavides, a master's student at the RUDN University Engineering Academy (Nanotechnology and Microsystems Engineering, 1st year).

The honorary guests of the celebration were Deputy Head of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science of Russia Olga Petrova and Chairman of the All-Russian Committee for Support of Putin Roman Putin.

It was this organization that initiated the RUDN flag unfurling event.

"For us, this is a day of unity, a day of fundamental, traditional values that allow us to be strong in any situation. Strength is in unity, and together we can, of course, do more. Happy holiday to everyone!" Olga Petrova, Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

"It is already becoming a good tradition to hold this event at RUDN. And I am very glad that we are continuing it today. What is our flag today? It is a flag of pride, hope for a bright future, a flag of true independence and statehood. So let's unfurl it. Hurray!" – Roman Putin, Chairman of the All-Russian Committee for Putin's Support.

And finally, to the song of Denis Maidanov "Flag of my state", RUDN students began to solemnly unfurl the tricolor. It occupied the entire square in front of the university and fluttered beautifully in the wind. Maidanov's song was replaced by the anthem of our university, and each participant in the action felt unity with those who gathered at RUDN that day. When the flag was reassembled, the students hugged and gave each other "five", rejoicing at the successful completion of the holiday.
