📚 A Yemeni Love for Russian Classics 🇾🇪🇷🇺

👋Meet Ayash Baker, a second-year foreign languages student from Yemen who joined us at Mordovia State University, inspired by friends who had studied here before. Back in Yemen, Ayash was already fascinated by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s work in Arabic and was excited to dive deeper into Russian culture.

🎤 Interview Highlights

🇾🇪 About Yemen

Ayash comes from a country rich in Islamic customs and vibrant traditions. Arabic is the official language, but Yemen also has diverse dialects, much like Russia. Traditional Yemeni cuisine includes flavorful dishes like mandi (stewed meat with rice) and salta (meat soup with barley). Music and dance play an essential role, featuring unique instruments like the duff, kaman, and oud.

❄️ First Impressions of Russia

Adjusting to the colder climate was challenging, but Ayash grew to love it here. One cultural difference he noticed? People are a bit more reserved than in Yemen. “You can’t just walk up and start chatting with a stranger!” .

📖 Passion for Russian Literature

A fan of Russian literature, Ayash has read Crime and Punishment in Arabic and even took part in the international Pushkin’s Poetry in World Languages festival, reciting Pushkin’s The Prophet in Arabic. The poem’s philosophical themes left a strong impact on him.

🎓 Advice to International Students

“A person who knows many languages becomes a different person. It opens new opportunities. Always learn the local language—it’s key to understanding culture. And don’t miss classes! Regular attendance is essential to becoming a true professional.”

👋 Meet Emir Samuel Mena Vera: An International Student from Venezuela 🇻🇪🎓

👨‍💻 Faculty: Mathematics and Technology

🌎 Country: Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

😀 Passionate about Mathematics & Technology

Emir’s journey from Latin America to Russia is fueled by his love for problem-solving and innovation. He chose to study here because of Russia’s reputation for excellence in these fields, particularly its deep-rooted history in mathematics and data science.

👨‍🎓 Adapting to a New Academic Environment

Emir shares that the Russian educational system is more rigorous and theory-driven compared to his home country, which has strengthened his understanding of complex scientific foundations. One of his biggest challenges? Mastering Russian technical language, but he sees this as an opportunity for growth.

🏢 Favorite Part of University Life

From cutting-edge research projects to a vibrant international student community, Emir appreciates the opportunities the university offers. Cultural exchange events and excursions have also helped him immerse himself in Russian traditions.

🧊 Challenges and Overcoming Them

Adapting to Russia’s cold winters and the academic rigor was tough at first, but Emir’s perseverance helped him embrace both. Learning to thrive in a new language and environment has strengthened his resilience.

🔥 Looking Ahead

With his newfound technical skills and global perspective, Emir is excited about contributing to future technological innovations that can improve lives worldwide.
