This was the second visit of the Consul General to Vologda State University.
There are 20 students from Uzbekistan at VSU. They are actively involved in the university activities. Educators, VSU employees and Russian students help them integrate into the new culture. National cuisine presentations, tours of places of interest in the Vologda Oblast, meetings with Federal Migration Service officers help foreigners learn the Russian traditions, mentality and legislation.
“I came to Russia after finishing school in Uzbekistan, I didn’t know much about this country. I couldn’t get used to the northern climate and Russian cuisine for a long time. At VSU, I leveled up my Russian. After my graduation, I am planning to return to Uzbekistan,” said Abdurashid Abdukakhorov, a student at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Energy and Transport.
