This year the Nowruz celebration included an exhibition of folk culture, tasting of national cuisine dishes, and a pilaf festival. A concert programme prepared by PSU international students and consisting of national songs and dances has become a good tradition.

In his welcoming speech, Dmitriy Artamonov, PSU First Vice-Rector, congratulated all students on the International Nowruz Day: “Its spelling and pronunciation may vary in different countries - some sources indicate Nowruz, others call it Navruz. This very holiday symbolizes the renewal of nature and man, the purification of souls and the beginning of a new life. And I am very glad that today we celebrate it in such a wonderful atmosphere.”

Gleb Sintsov, Vice-Rector for International Affairs, emphasized the importance of holding national festivals at the university: “The value of Nowruz is in its national color, as well as in active cultural exchange between peoples. For international students, the organization of such national holidays helps to socialize in the Russian student environment.”
