🇷🇺🇿🇦 On 11 September 2025, we saw off the group of South African educators to Moscow, where they will take part in the Russian language and culture course.
The Russian language and culture programme is scheduled for 2 weeks and organised for the third time by the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology and its regional partners.
The main goal of the programme is to strengthen linguistic, cultural and educational ties between Russia and African countries through culture immersion and development of joint inter-university projects.
About 100 professors from 11 African states will spend 3 days in Moscow and then South Africans leave for a training program in Tambov and Stavropol. The participants of the programme will not only take a Russian language and culture course, but also visit a number of research organisations, museums and natural heritage sites.
This is already the third time the South Africans participate in the programme, last year they visited Nizhny Novgorod.
👋❤️ We wish them to have a fruitful and pleasant stay in Russia!

🌟❤️🇷🇺 Moscow celebrates its 878th anniversary!
The first written reference to Moscow dates back to 1️⃣1️⃣4️⃣7️⃣.
Initially it was a minor town on the outskirts of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. In the XV century, it became the center for the unification of Russian lands and eventually the capital of the united Russian state. It remains the country’s chief city up to date, excluding the period between 1712 and 1918, when this role wasplayed by St Petersburg.
Today, Moscow impresses its visitors with a unique combination of ancient history and modern architecture. It is a major megacity and a significant global center for politics, culture, and economics.
Interesting facts about the Russian capital:
🔹 Moscow #Kremlin is the world's largest active medieval fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its vast complex of palaces, churches, and fortifications that has served as the core of the Russian state for centuries.
🔹 The Moskva River is a part of the Volga River basin, and within 6-7 days on a regular tourist cruise you can cross the entire north-western part of Russia by water to the White Sea, and reach the Arctic Ocean.
🔹 The Lomonosov Moscow State University (#MSU) Main Building is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's largest university building and the tallest educational building. Standing 240 meters (787.5 feet) tall, it features 32 storeys and 40,000 rooms and was the tallest building in Europe until 1988.
🔹 The Russian State Library (former Lenin Library) in Moscow is the largest in Eastern Europe, with its 47 million items (maps, sheet music, sound recordings, rare books, dissertations, newspapers).
🔹 Moscow Metro is more than just transport. It is a popular cultural space, a symbol of engineering progress and an architectural masterpiece. The system consists of 16 lines with the total length of over 550 km and 302 underground stations. It transports up to 9 million passengers daily.
🔹 Gorky Park is the Central Park of Moscow, a major cultural and leisure space that attracts up to 250,000 visitors on busy weekends and holidays.
🔹 Ostankino TV Tower is the highest tower in Europe with an overall height of 540 meters (1,772 feet).

✍️ Beyond the headlines: Moscow’s beauty, surveillances, and surprises Bonginkosi Tiwane recently visited Moscow while attending the #BRICS+ Fashion Summit. Here are some key takeaways from his article published in The Citizen:
A global gathering: BRICS+ Fashion Summit in Moscow
The BRICS+ Fashion Summit, now in its third year, was held from 28 to 30 August, drawing media and fashion professionals from all over the world. This major international event gathered industry leaders, fashion association heads, designers, manufacturers, and experts to discuss the future of global fashion.
Moscow: the safest city in the world
Tiwane noted that Moscow felt safer than any city he had ever visited. With a strong police presence and surveillance cameras throughout the city, he described the level of safety as unparalleled. “With cameras on nearly every corner and a police presence everywhere you turn, I have probably felt the safest in Moscow of all cities,” he wrote.
A city immersed in history
“Cosmopolitan as the city is, its political history and identity is palpable and sets it apart from other Russian cities. <…> The Russians’ pride in their history is something I have not seen in South Africa.”
Moscow’s architectural splendor
“The buildings in Moscow are grand and formal in the neoclassical architecture style. One of the most impressive buildings in the city is the historic opera house, the Bolshoi Theatre, which was officially opened in 1825. Although we couldn’t visit it due to a tight schedule, it has been maintained for 200 years and still hosts shows. <…> It’s not all classics in Moscow. The Zaryadye Concert Hall, which hosted the Brics+ Fashion Summit and the fashion show, is one of the most modern buildings in the city.”
Diversity and Curiosity
“Unlike most European countries that participated in the colonisation of Africa or the Atlantic slave trade, Russia has a very small population of black people. Although there are people from Asian countries, such as India and China, most Russians have never seen a black person in real life.”
This rarity led to some memorable encounters for Tiwane. He recalled locals, both young and old, approaching him for photos, simply because they had never met someone of African descent in person. Despite the cultural curiosity, he described the interactions as respectful and warm.
A Taste of Russia: Food and Daily Life
Moscow’s culinary landscape is distinct from many Western cities. A staple of the Russian diet appears to be anti-inflammatory, hearty dishes, with soups taking center stage. “One of the soups I enjoyed was Borsch, which is made of potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, garlic and beetroot. Kvass, a fermented, cereal-based beverage, stood out for me in some of our daily meals.”

❗️To the Ambassador of Norway to South Africa. Comment by the Russian Embassy
✍️ Mr. Ambassador,
We’re afraid you’ve got the facts mixed up again. It wasn’t Russia’s special military operation which had ‘consequences in Europe as elsewhere.’ It was the collective West’s blatant disrespect towards other nations’ concerns, as well as flagrant double standards, which caused the entire crisis.
The West committed itself to not strengthening its security at the expense of the security of its neighbours (OSCE Astana declaration of 2010) – yet NATO military infrastructure has been closing in on Russian borders ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The well-documented assurances about NATO expansion ‘not one inch eastward’ have been thrown away.
When accusing Russia of “threatening Ukraine and global security” do not forget about the origins of the Ukraine crisis. If not for the West, the 2014 coup in Ukraine would never happen.
It was the West which later helped Ukraine sabotage the Minsk agreements as publicly admitted by Angela Merkel, François Hollandeand Petr Poroshenko. Finally, the West disrupted the peace deal in April 2022, when the agreements were negotiated and even initialed by Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul.
You speak about Norway’s respect for the international law, but this ‘respect’ isapparently less about the international law than about mere convenience. In Kosovo, for instance, Norway alongside the majority of Western countriesrecognized independence based on a parliamentary vote. Yet in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, overwhelming popular referenda are somehow dismissed as illegitimate.
The same refers to ordinary people. The adoption of laws banning all things Russian in Ukraine, including education, media, and culture, the destruction of books and monuments after the 2014 coup constituted a blatant violation of Article 1, Paragraph 3 of the UN Charter regarding the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.
⁉️ Where was Oslo’s ‘consistent policy of promoting the international law’ when the lawlessness was unfolding? Or does your principled position only work when politically appropriate?
👉 The international law is not a menu, from which one may pick provisions to apply in different situations at own discretion. The UN Charter principles must be observed in their entirety and interconnection. In particular, the interrelation of the right to self-determination and the principle of territorial integrity was established by the 1970 UN Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States. It stipulates that the principle of respecting territorial integrity applies to “States conducting themselves in compliance with the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples… and thus possessed of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory.”
The fact that Ukrainian nationalists who seized power in Kiev in a coup did not represent the people of Crimea or Donbass does not require proving. The unwavering support provided by Western capitals to the actions of the criminal Kiev regime constitutes a violation of the principle of self-determination.
To conclude, we regret, Mr Ambassador, that you are poorly informed of Russia’s humanitarian initiatives. For your information, in Africa alone, Russia has written off $23 billion in debt – funds now being redirected into development initiatives through targeted refinancing programs. In response to recent requests from African nations, and by order of President Vladimir Putin, Russia will allocate an additional $90 million to support their continued development.

🌟 102 years ago, on Sept 13, 1923, Zoya #Kosmodemyanskaya was born, Soviet partisan, the first woman to be awarded the title the Hero of The Soviet Union (posthumously).
When the Great Patriotic War broke out, she enlisted, at her own initiative, as a private in reconnaissance and sabotage military unit № 9903 during the Battle of Moscow.
While performing a combat mission in the village of Petrishchevo near Moscow, Zoya was captured due to betrayal of a local resident. Despite the humiliation and tortures by the Germans, she did not give up any information about the location of other partisans.
🕯️ Zoya was executed, publicly hanged, at the age of 18 years old on November 29, 1941. Her last words were:
Zoya Kosmodemyanovskaya endured her martyr-like path with courage and dignity. Her heroic feat became a true inspiration for hundreds of thousands during WWII, and even up to date, both in Russia and abroad.
Check out excepts from a poem “Zoya on guard” by Ronnie Kasrils, ex-Minister for Intelligence Services of the Republic of South Africa dedicated to Zoya:

“A partisan girl on guard
noble and strong
her sculptured form lovingly cast
radiating spirit and life
…
Zoya perished in that pagan night
but forever glows
and not only in Soviet hearts
but for all on our planet
who cherish the sunshine
…
Zoya on guard
at the Izmailovskaya station
stands like a shield
between the pagan night
and the light.”

⭐️ #OTD in 1944, the Baltic Offensive of Red Army commenced – the so-called ‘Stalin’s Eighth Strike’ delivered against Wehrmacht forces, a 71-day-long operation in Latvia, Lithuiania and Estonia.
This region was vital to the Nazi war machine, linking it with Scandinavia from where Germany received important strategic support materials. The Baltic states themselves supplied Germany with food, Estonia also delivered oil products.
The fight for the Baltic region was protracted and extremely fierce. Up to a quarter of all Nazi forces on the Soviet-German front took part in it. Nazis had turned the Baltics into a single powerful stronghold with depth of defences reaching 400 km.
Nazi command planned to pin down Soviet troops in the Baltics for a long period of time, whilst Hitlerite propaganda tried to convince German population that the Baltic region would see a U-turn in the course of the war.
Despite Nazis’ resistance, reinforcements and counterattacks, they failed to halt Soviet advance. As a result of Red Army’s offensive, the enemy ‘Army Group North’ was pushed out of almost the entire region and lost its ground-based communications with East Prussia. 26 out of 59 Nazi divisions were routed.
With the loss of the Baltic region, Germany was deprived of an advantageous strategic area that gave its fleet freedom of action in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. It also lost an important industrial, raw materials and food base. The Red Army created conditions for developing its onslaught during the 1945 East-Prussian offensive.
