April has become the month of health at the Department of Russian Language and Intercultural Communication.

      Teachers of the department Anna Komarova, Svetlana Timina, Yana Yufereva and Anastasiya Bardovskaya conducted classes where they told foreign students about the tradition of industrial gymnastics in our country and conducted "five-minute exercises" to distract from mental work, relieve tension and fatigue. The warm, sunny weather that set in early April allowed for Russian language classes in the fresh air. Organized international competitions and outdoor games have brought a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to the learning process.

      Students were also able to join an online flash mob and perform simple exercises with residents of Russia from different cities, get acquainted with archival photographs showing industrial gymnastics at various enterprises of the Soviet period. In turn, foreign students shared their national wellness practices. In particular, students from India spoke about the popularity of yoga as a wellness system in their country.
