Int’l students invited to take part in the Russian language Olympiad

Students aged 14 to 18 can participate in the Olympiad.

It’s open both to those who currently study Russian as a foreign language and to those who attend international schools with Russian as the language of instruction.

If you would like to participate, you should register on the ‘Education in Russian’ portal and fill out an application form by September 14, 2026.

After that, a remote qualifying round will take place and those who make it to the finals will be invited to Moscow for the in-person final round – with all costs covered by the host. It will be held from November 13 to 19, 2026.

Winners and prize-winners of the Olympiad will receive the right to free online education at the Pushkin Institute, a three-week additional education program (starting within one year of receiving their diploma).
