In December 2022, the Russian-Austrian Public Forum "Sochi Dialogue" and the Austrian Institute in Moscow (Österreich Institut Moskau) organised a competition of creative projects for students of the "Russia-Austria: History, Politics, Economics, Culture" undergraduate course "Foreign Regional Studies" at the Faculty of International Relations, Political Science and Foreign Regional Studies at the Russian State University of Foreign Studies.
In order to participate in the competition, the students of the programme wrote motivational essays in which they described why they chose this Master's programme and revealed their plans for future cooperation between Russia and Austria.
The authors of the essays that were most favoured by the jury of the competition (which consisted of teachers from the Austrian Institute) were given the opportunity to improve their German language by attending courses of the appropriate level.
The winners are:
Aleksey Afonin
Igor Martynenko
Denis Zaitsev
Burenina Polina
Khachatryan Diana
Sharova Anna
Xenia Mogina
Baranchikova Tatiana
Our congratulations!
