9th January 2025

In anticipation of one of the most joyful holidays in Russia, to experience the festive atmosphere of the city, students of the IMI KSMU along with instructors A.M. Shumakova and E.N. Ozerova, took a stroll through winter Kursk.

Many of Students had never decorated a Christmas tree, participated in round dances, or awaited a visit from Santa Claus back in their homelands. With great interest, the international students admired the Christmas ornaments and garlands on the trees near the university, as well as the figures of Ded Moroz, Snegurochka, the Nutcracker, reindeer, and other New Year attributes.

The festive public location “Red Forest” in the city center made a significant impression on the students, where they could not only admire the light installations but also enjoy hot beverages and buy souvenirs. According to the international students, the walk helped them briefly escape from their academic routine and feel the approach of the holiday.
