Why a student from Syria is learning Russian (VIDEO)

"Russian people are kind! They are always ready to help," says Yaarob Al Hasna.

Yaarob from Syria came to Russia in 2024 to enroll in a master's program at MISIS University. In his home country, he graduated from university with a degree in metallurgical engineering.

His father, a translator, once lived in Russia, so Yaarob heard Russian spoken from childhood and was surrounded by Russian books, as there was a large library at home. After completing his master's degree, Yaarob wants to find work in metallurgical companies in Siberia.
