On December 23 a festive event devoted to the New Year celebrations in Russia was held at the RANEPA Russian Language Courses. Students from Iran, Iraq and China as well as partners of the institute enjoyed a funny and cozy atmosphere with an exciting master class of making paper snowflakes, creative competitions and quizzes. Participants also welcomed traditional winter magic guests — the Father Frost and his granddaughter who brought lovely presents – RANEPA t-shirts which students immediately put on and so joined a big RANEPA student’s family. Everyone sang national songs, danced around the Christmas tree, ate delicious pies and drank tee from a samovar.
