19 states from the two largest parts of the world are represented at the II Regional Youth Conference of Russian Compatriots from Asia and Africa, which opened in New Delhi (October 18-19). India is represented at the forum by several delegates - from the capital itself, Bangalore, Goa, Kolkata, Mumbai and Trivandrum.
The purpose of the interregional meeting is to share the experience of youth movements of Russian compatriots in a vast space from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, as well as to formulate a plan for joint activities.
As the Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov noted at the conference, the public youth movement has become the most important factor in ensuring sustainable, effective socio-economic development and scientific and technological progress.
Delegates from Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Zambia, Qatar, China, Congo (Brazzaville), Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, UAE, Syria, Thailand, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and South Africa attended the conference in India.

The Delhi Collage of Art hosted a master class by Russian artist Maxim Pridanov as part of the exhibition “The Fabulous Miracle of Existence”, held at the Russian House in New Delhi. A lesson to improve practical skills was organized with the assistance of Indian artist Aakshat Sinha, a graduate of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
“The visit of Maxim Pridanov and the exhibition curator Maxim Ignatov made an indelible impression on the college students. Collaborating with Russian artists not only highlights the diversity of artistic styles and cultural nuances, but also fosters a sense of international camaraderie within the artistic community,” said Aakshat Sinha.
The master class was attended by more than 60 students, and M. Pridanov gave a lecture.
The name Delhi Collage of Art deliberately made an “artistic mistake”, playing on the similarity of the words college and collage.

“Let him blame the poet
Mocking, crazy light,
Nobody will stop him
He won't hear my answer."

The “Hour of Poetry” was held at the Russian language courses at the Russian House in New Delhi. A teacher from Yakutsk, Evgenia Yadrikhinskaya, told Indian students about the life and work of the Russian poet, prose writer and artist Mikhail Lermontov.
The students watched with interest the presentation about his life and work, listened to V. Shebalin’s romance “The Golden Cloud Spent the Night,” and got acquainted with the poet’s drawings.
For a detailed analysis, Evgenia Yadrikhinskaya chose the lyrical poem “The Cliff,” written a few weeks before the poet’s death. After reading the poem and analyzing it, the teacher gave the opportunity to interpret the work. Everyone saw something different in him.
At the end of the lesson, homework was given: learn the poem “Cliff” by heart, with pleasure!
