Congratulations from RUDN University Rector Oleg Yastrebov on the Day of Knowledge!

I congratulate all of you on The Day of Knowledge!
At RUDN we train leaders who make the world a better place.
To do this, teachers share their experience, wisdom, and time.
For this reason, students do homework and write essays.
We equip classrooms, set up equipment, and reconstruct dormitories...
Making the world a better place is our joint work! It can be very difficult, but I know we can do it! This knowledge is our strength!
Happy holiday!
The International Youth Festival (IYF-2026) was held in Yekaterinburg. For all seven days, RUDN University's stand operated there — a compact model of university life featuring a dorm room, a coworking space, a "kitchen," and multimedia installations. Guests from various countries didn't just learn about Russia's most international university — they tasted a slice of student life firsthand.
What are students from African countries coming to study at RUDN University like? Why did they choose a Russian education, and what do they want to learn? How do they adapt to life in a new, unfamiliar country? What do the Russian language and culture mean to them? For the third Russia-Africa Summit, RUDN University has compiled a portrait of a typical African student and shared their experiences during their studies.
A themed train dedicated to the 65th anniversary of RUDN University has been launched in the Moscow Metro! For six months, the train will run along the Sokolnicheskaya Line.
