I am grateful to every teacher in my life: congratulations from RUDN Rector Oleg Yastrebov on Teacher’s Day

Dear teachers,
I am grateful to every teacher in my life: my teachers, my son’s teachers, my mentors and colleagues at Peoples’ Friendship University.
Being a teacher means giving yourself, your knowledge, strength, and time every day. It’s not an easy task. I wish you pleasing changes and relaxing holidays, grateful students and wise students’ parents, interesting colleagues and caring administrators.
May the stars align in your favor so that you can enjoy your challenging and, dare I say it, great work!
Happy holiday, dear teachers!
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.
