Friendship University is undertaken by 10 de-
partments, members of the university’s facul-
ties of the University and the Faculty of ad-
vanced training for teachers of Russian as
a foreign language, which was established
in 1967 as the country’s first center capable
of satisfying professional and educational
needs of philologists specializing in the Rus-
sian language.
The educational process is provided by
about 300 teachers, of which 20 are doc-
tors, 6 are full members and corresponding
members of state and public academies
of sciences of Russia. The Russian language
textbooks created at Peoples’ Friendship
University are widely used, both by Russian
universities and abroad.
Experience in teaching Russian as a for-
eign language has been praised in the
country and in the world, evidence of this
was participation in the program "Inter-
Kosmos". Communication problems be-
tween Soviet and American cosmonauts
arose during the execution of the program
"Soyuz-Apollo". In this connection, the man-
RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN PFUR
Starting from 1978, almost all foreign cosmonauts training at the Y. Gagarin
Center for Cosmonauts’ mastered the Russian language due to the help
of PFUR Russian language teachers

“Dear PFUR! Thanks a lot for teaching me Russian!
This is the first and most important step on the Orbit!”.
Garrett Reisman
agement of the Y. Gagarin Center for Cos
monauts’ Training addressed Peoples'
Friendship University, where one of the best
schools of teaching Russian to foreign citi-
zens was successfully operating. For more
than 30 years, PFUR Russian teachers have
been carrying out Russian language train-
ing for foreign astronauts in the Cosmonauts’
training center at the Zvezdny Gorodok,
thereby contributing to the cause of space
exploration. At the root of this cooperation
were twice Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-
cosmonaut A. Leonov and professor of Peo-
ples' Friendship University of Russia E.I. Mo-
tina.
PFUR teachers taught the Russian lan-
guage to astronauts from France, Germa-
ny, Japan, Syria, the United Kingdom, the
Czechoslovakia, Poland, India, Austria, Unit-
ed States, Cuba, Canada, Mongolia and
other countries. Linguistic space program to-
day is also realized by PFUR specialists, and
not only for cosmonauts, but also related to
space tourists.
With the increasing interest of foreign citi-
zens in the Russian language, PFUR develops
and offers new educational program, imple-
ments various Russian language courses in
a convenient form and at any level of trai
ning, organizes seminars, workshops, meth-
odological contests, competitions, trainings
and conferences. As part of Moscow Sum-
mer School, students can attend not only
intensive training, but also participate in the
cultural and entertainment program, which
allows to get acquainted with the capital of
Russia, its history and culture.

Agrarian Faculty (PFUR) is one of the oldest
faculties of the University. It was founded in
1961. That was the time when the Faculty of
agriculture was training specialists in agron-
omy and agriculture taking the cultural and
climate peculiarities of Asian, African and
Latin American counties into consideration.
Today the faculty consists of 9 departments.
It offers a highly-qualified teaching and aca-
demic team, great scientific and technical
potential, modern equipment and innova-
tive technologies.
Latest research technique are being used
at the faculty: vet students study in special-
ized classrooms with ultra-sound equipment,
X-ray and biochemical lab equipment. Stu-
dents undergo training in agro-holdings, pri-
vate and state vet clinics. GPRS-equipment
and electric meter have been procured for
landscape and landscape design classes.
Joint master’s programs are offered by PFUR
in cooperation with Kyrgyz National Agrarian
University named after K.I. Skryabin.
What differs students of the PFUR Agrarian
faculty from graduates of other universities?
It is intensive language and multi-profile ed-
ucation. Our students study several foreign
languages at a time and use a chance to

are elaborated, innovational educational
technologies and concepts which lay the
foundation for new textbooks including in-
teractive ones are worked out and unique
methodologies of teaching the Russian lan-
guage are successfully implemented.
The departments organize methodical
seminars, scientific study groups for students,
special contests, and international scientific
conferences devoted to different problems
of teaching Russian as a foreign language
and interdisciplinary coordination. The fa
culty places high emphasis on educational
work since it is the most important element
of the educational process.
All departments hold traditional lessons
in the format of concerts “We speak Rus-
sian and sing in Russian”. The lesson “Day of
Victory” which is one of the main university
events has become a hallmark of the fac-
ulty. Students and veterans are invited to
participate in it. Student conferences are
traditionally conducted in Russian. The fac-
ulty also organizes special lessons in order to
familiarize foreign students with Russia as a
country of residence and with its culture.

Institute of Law
In 1960 when the University was founded,
it was decided that future lawyers will be
prepared at the Faculty of Economics and
Law, which was reorganized into the Facul
ty of Economics and the Faculty of Law lat-
er in 1995. In 2014, the Faculty of Law was
re-organized into the Institute of Law. There
are 8 -Departments and 2 service depart-
ments (of the English and Russian langua
ges).
Major goal of the Institute is to prepare
highly-qualified future specialists-lawyers to
work in the RF and abroad. Besides the RF
law system and constitution, students are to
know other legislative systems of the world.
These are: Anglo-American and continental
European, as well as the legislation of de-
veloping countries.
Students of the Institute of Law take part
in professional legal practices including
work experience in the RF State Duma, Fed-
eration Council, Moscow City Duma, Mos-
cow public prosecution office, Supreme
Court of the Russian Federation. While
working at the Students’ Advisory Bureau
at PFUR, students gain experience working
with the public and local authorities. Lead-
ing Russian and foreign lawyers regularly
give master classes at the Institute of Law.
Law students participate in international
exchange programs and internships on a
yearly basis. They undergo study courses at
universities in France, Spain, Italy, the Czech
Republic, the USA, Finland, Austria, China
and other countries.
After graduating from the University, law
students go to work at educational institu-
tions, law-enforcement agencies, govern-
ment and state administration agencies,
internal and external agencies of foreign
relations in Russia, the CIS countries and far
abroad and at international organizations.
A lot of them have made brilliant careers
in their sphere of activity. At present, some
of them are ministers, well-known politicians
or public figures.
