On the occasion of March 8th, an eventful festive performance, the main idea of which was kind songs on a military theme and love, was held at South Ural State University.
Traditionally, on the eve of the International Women’s Day, SUSU Recreation Centre presents an unusual creative project. This year, the concert is dedicated to love in times of war.

Guests crowd in the scantily lit exhibition hall of the university. It is very strange: exhibits do not have sufficient lighting. But things are not that simple. The full value of electric light is revealed through the darkness.

Polina Mukhamadeeva (student of the Institute of Media, Social Sciences and Humanities):
February 10th is Alexander Pushkin's Memorial Day. Alexander Pushkin (1799 – 1837) was a great poet and writer, founder of the modern Russian literary language. He was fatally wounded in a notorious duel with Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès. The majority of our huge country’s citizens know this story, but not all international students know everything about the life and work of Alexander Pushkin.
Second-year Bachelor’s students of the Department of the Russian Language and Literature of the Institute of Media, Social Sciences and Humanities took the second place in the translation contest organized by Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The translation and recitation contest in memory of Stanisław Barańczak was organised by the Department of Slavic Philology of the Faculty of Philology at Lomonosov Moscow State University and was dedicated to the 10th anniversary since passing of the outstanding Polish poet, translator and literary critic.
On January 29th at 19:00, in anticipation of the celebration of the New Year according to the Chinese calendar, the facade of the main building of South Ural State University will be decorated with the hieroglyph "Snake (shé)".
The idea was proposed by Chinese students as part of the traditional ceremony of the Students Day, when the Rector grants some of the most interesting and significant wishes of young people.
January 25th is Students Day in Russia, also known as Tatyana's Day. In anticipation of this holiday, students from South Ural State University participated in a grand show, which has been held on a skating rink this year.
The celebration began with a performance by figure skaters who demonstrated incredible ease and grace in dance. A theatrical prologue dedicated to the history of the foundation of Lomonosov Moscow State University took the guests of the event back to the distant 18th century, when Empress Elizabeth had signed a decree on the establishment of the university.
81 years ago, on January 27, 1944, one of the most tragic episodes of the Great Patriotic War ended: as a result of actions of the Soviet troops, the blockade of Leningrad, which lasted almost 900 days, was completely lifted.
Tatiana Day (also known as Students Day) will traditionally be celebrated on a grand scale at SUSU. Just think about it: on the occasion of this holiday, a flash mob on ice will be held for all students, along with filming of historical events dating back to the 3rd century AD, a quiz, and much more.
Dear students, postgraduates and teaching staff members of South Ural State University!
My most sincere congratulations to you on the Russian Students Day!
We support and develop the traditions of this wonderful holiday that has deep historical roots. At the same time it always looks ahead to the future since it is namely during student years that we lay the foundations of forming our personality.
We spoke with our student Mortada Khaled and learned how Iraqis celebrate the main holiday of the year!
– What New Year traditions do you have in your homeland?
– We get together and give each other presents, prepare traditional dishes for the holiday table. The most important thing is that we are together. New Year is a big family holiday, we are especially happy to see those whom we have not seen for a long time during the year.
– Is there a difference in the customs of our two countries?
Father Frost (Ded Moroz) and Santa Claus are the main characters of winter holidays in different cultures. However, despite some similarities, they have a number of significant differences, from the history of origin to their attributes and symbols.
The Christmas tree is the main symbol of the upcoming holidays. Tatiana Vekovtseva, Head of the Department of Technology and Design of the Institute of Sport, Tourism and Service of South Ural State University, shares on how to decorate the green beauty, as well as what decorative elements to use for table setting.
