A project has been launched in Kaliningrad to teach foreigners the Russian language and acquaint them with Russian culture. The course was attended by migrants from the Central Asian countries of the CIS, who will be able not only to improve their command of the Russian language and learn about the history and traditions of Russia and the region, but also figure out how to properly draw up documents for obtaining a labor patent, Kaskad.tv reports.
The creators of the course stated that the main goal of the project was to introduce migrants to Russian culture. According to the head of the Kaliningrad Uzbek national-cultural autonomy, Shukurbek Mirzadzhanov, migrants gathered in the classrooms, united by a desire to settle down in Kaliningrad.
He also said that the organizers of the courses were trying to interest students in classes in the Russian language and the history of the westernmost region of Russia. Most of the project participants would like to obtain a Russian passport and stay in the country.
A native of Uzbekistan, Geal Haray, who came to Kaliningrad three years ago and helps migrants with paperwork, announced the need for courses for the quickest adaptation of newcomers in the new country.
The Russian language courses that were opened in Kaliningrad a few months ago turned out to be in demand. More than 600 people have become its students. In the future, the city intends to launch courses focused on professions and industries in which migrants are employed.
