“The Pushkin Institute is doing extensive work to promote the Russian language around the world and the language camp is one of the key areas of this activity. This year, the camp is being held for the second time and we are genuinely delighted that students learning Russian can come to Moscow, see the capital's landmarks with their own eyes, improve their language skills and make new friends,” notes Nikita Gusev, Rector of the Pushkin Institute.
