For Russia, May 9 is more than just a historical date — it is a symbol of national pride. How do international students at the Vernadsky CFU’s  Medical Academy named after S.I. Georgievsky understand the significance of this great holiday? What is important for them to know about the St. George Ribbon? What is their attitude toward the Victory Day celebrations?

 

These questions are explored in a video created by students from India, Nigeria, and Yemen. The video was produced by international students and features speech in both Russian and English.
