Nguyen Thi Thu Dat, Director of the Pushkin Institute, hopes that this contest can help Vietnamese students learn Russian and study Russian literature. At the same time, this event will bring excitement to reading and promote reading culture to the younger generation.

The organizing committee received the enthusiastic participation of students of all ages from Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Vietnam. A total of nearly 200 works entered the contest in all three categories: the “Poet” category with 123 works, the “Actor” category with 7 works, and the “Painter” category with 65 works. Since this event was launched, it has been well received by students from all over the world. Russian teachers in Vietnam and around the world, who participate in the “Russian Teachers Abroad” Project, have been actively guiding students to participate in this competition.
