“With further cooperation in trade and a close friendship between China and Russia, there are more students applying for Russian universities,”Liu Jing told Sputnik News, a Russian news agency. Liu is an undergraduate from Moscow State University (MSU). Indeed, Russia is now a desirable destination for Chinese international students. Their number has increased from about 15,000 in 2012 to 49,000 in 2019, according to Sputnik News. So what has led to such an increase? Why are students choosing to study there? Apart from positive bilateral relationships, financial benefits and career prospects also factor into students’ deciding to apply for Russian universities. “One of the main advantages of studying in Russia is its relatively cheaper tuition fees and living costs than in Europe or North America,” said Tian Tian, a graduate student from The Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. Generally, it takes about 60,000 to 100,000 yuan (covering tuition, accommodation and living fees) every year to study in universities located in major cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, according to JJL overseas education. “It is undoubtedly a great choice to study in Russia without spending too much money while enjoying world-class education,” said Alex Zhang, who got his master’s degree in Russian translation at MSU in 2019. “It not only made me more professional in Russian-Chinese translation but cultivated my social skills. That gave me an edge when hunting for a job,” Zhang added. He is now in a Chinese company working on international project management, which requires effective communication with different partners. Zhang Dan, also a graduate of MSU, agrees with Alex Zhang. “Immersing myself in Russian-speaking environments helped me gain fluency in Russian,” she said. Zhang’s education background helped her get a position teaching Russian at a college. Qu Jiaxin, 22, a Russian major who graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University, will go to study at MSU this year. Qu said her trip to Russia made her feel “a lot closer to the language [Russian]”. More importantly, Qu thinks that “our generation born in the era of globalization are undertaking responsibilities to promote cultural exchange between the two countries.” In September, Qu shared her personal stories with Russians her age in Youth Power, a project organized by China Daily to build a platform for communication for youths worldwide. One of her Russian friends was Kristina from her host family. “Once I told her that my great grandfather fought in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. To my surprise, Kristina proudly told me that she also had family who took part in World War II ... I’ve learned a lot about World War II. Yet never had I felt such a strong bond with another country until I talked to a young Russian about our own different, yet similar, histories,” Qu said in her speech. “It is very important to fully understand the culture and values of people from other countries. In this way, we can better spread Chinese culture to others,” she added. “So it’s a good choice to further my study in Russia.”  (Translator & Editor: Li Xinzhu AND Luo Sitian)
