The Pushkin festival of the Russian Language was held at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. The event was organised by Ousseynou Tall, PhD in Philology, the Head of the Department of Russian and Slavic Languages and Civilisation and a graduate of a PhD programme at the Department of General Linguistics and Stylistics of Voronezh State University. Among the participants of the festival were many students studying Russian.
It proved to be an interesting and exciting event: students and lecturers performed and recited poems in Russian. Alexey Rugachov, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in Senegal, also took part in the celebrations.
