This year, the Polytechnic Preparatory Department celebrates its anniversary. 60 years ago, the first foreign students arrived on the banks of the Neva and began their studies at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute named after M. I. Kalinin. In honor of this event, a trip to Veliky Novgorod, a city with an ancient history, was organized for current students.
Children from Algeria, Pakistan, China, Turkey, Chad and other countries saw how Russian culture was born. They walked around the Novgorod Kremlin (Detinets) — the oldest fortress in Russia, where they learned about the defense of cities in ancient times. At the monument “Millennium of Russia” the students examined the figures of great rulers: Yaroslav the Wise, Alexander Nevsky, Ivan III and learned their history.
Everyone was especially impressed by the Saint Sophia Cathedral. It is huge and very beautiful! Such buildings show how much history means to your country, – shared Ok Berk from Turkey.
The students also visited the Vitoslavlitsy Museum, where they saw old wooden houses, churches and a windmill.
I liked how the museum preserved the peasants’ way of life. It seemed as if I had gone back in time! – said Ahmad Md Nawab from India.
After the excursion, the group went to an old village, where they tried traditional dishes and heard folk legends.
Novgorod is a city that everyone should see! There is so much history, nature and kind people here, the guys shared their impressions.
The trip was not only a vacation, but also a lesson in Russian culture. The students returned with bright photos, new knowledge and a desire to learn even more about Russia.
The preparatory faculty continues its festive events – meetings with graduates, conferences and a gala concert are ahead.
The preparatory faculty of SPbPU has more than half a century of successful training of foreign citizens. Our students were very lucky to come to the preparatory faculty of the Polytechnic in this anniversary year. I am sure many guys will take part in the ceremonial events and will continue their education at the Polytechnic, – noted assistant to the vice-rector Pavel Nedelko.
