Russian Federation to Vietnamese public. By the means of mass communication, the
Center tries to bring to Vietnamese public the objective image of the modern
Russia in the difficult period as well as the great physical and spiritual
potentials of Russia. The Center has collaborated with the press, radio and
television to carry out a series of essays and interviews on the subjects of
Russia and the specific activities of the Centre in Vietnam.
One of the most important activities of
this Center in Vietnam is to execute a program of the Russian Government on the
dissemination and development of the Russian language. On that basis, the Centre
organizes Russian-language courses with many different levels. The traditional
activities of the Center have always attracted people who love Russian in Hanoi
and Russian club is held on every Friday afternoon. The Russian-language
teachers and students of universities in Hanoi are regular readers in the
