Moscow Polytech Introduces International Students to the Capital’s Cultural Heritage

Preparatory students fr om Moscow Polytechnic University, representing Lebanon, Colombia, Bangladesh, Iran, Tunisia, Togo, Yemen, Iraq and Cameroon, visited key cultural sites in Moscow. As part of the university’s socio-cultural adaptation programme, the students toured the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve and the Ilya Glazunov Moscow State Picture Gallery.

At Tsaritsyno, the participants explored the exhibition spaces and learned about the history of the unique palace and park ensemble. The programme continued at the Ilya Glazunov Gallery, whеre the international students were introduced to paintings and graphic works dedicated to Russian history and classical literature. The large-scale historical canvases and literary illustrations made a particular impression on the group.

"The visit to the gallery made a strong impression on me. It is through getting to know the culture that I am beginning to understand Russia better, and I really enjoy studying here. I am sincerely grateful to Moscow Polytechnic University for organising these cultural and educational events and for the opportunity to broaden my horizons," said Moussa El Hage Mohamad Hassan, a preparatory student from Lebanon.

According to the organisers, museum visits are an important part of integrating international students into the university environment. Moscow Polytechnic’s cultural and educational programme is designed to introduce students to Russia’s historical and cultural heritage, fostering a deeper understanding of the country and supporting their successful adaptation.
