Acting Vice-rector for Educational Work Elena Chernysheva made a congratulatory speech:
"These two holidays – the anniversary of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and the Day of the Russian Language – define our vocation, our ministry. Russian Russian students from many countries of the world study at the Pushkin Institute, which indicates an interest in the Russian language and Russian culture. People tend to learn Russian and communicate in it. Our institute proudly bears the name of the great poet, whose creative heritage is an integral part of Russian and world culture. I wish you to continue to preserve the good traditions of our Institute and the love of the Russian language in your hearts!", – wished Elena Nikolaevna.

The poems "Do I Wander along noisy streets" (Maria Yakhnis), "I loved you ..." (Anastasia Kupriyanova) and the elegy "Crazy Years of faded Fun" (Evgenia Talikina) were performed by students of the Faculty of Philology.
The musical part followed! Marco Gagsiola, a student of the Faculty of Teaching Russian as a foreign language from Mexico, sang a romance by M.I. Glinka to the poem of the same name by A.S. Pushkin "I remember a wonderful moment ...".
Then, a screening of a film based on the work of A.S. Pushkin "The Peasant Lady" took place in the creative workshop. Before the start of the session, the children were told about the history of the creation of the cycle "Belkin's Tale", immersing the audience in the atmosphere of the work.
