The atmosphere of goodwill and lively communication helped the participants to get to know Russia better and to better understand the Russian national character.
The lecture "History of Russian Culture: Holidays and Traditions as a Tool for Unifying Society" attracted considerable interest from the audience. The students learned about how the most important rituals and holidays were formed, why they continue to unite people of different generations and cultures.
