The relevance of the program, its advantages in relation to similar programs at other universities.
The program competes with the university programs of Russian language and with teacher training programs of Russian and literature. The most attention is paid to the study of the Russian language in the way it is linked with Russian literature, business, media and Internet culture, for which the classic courses of Russian and foreign literature are supplemented by unique classes on various aspects of text analysis, style and culture of modern Russian communication.

Key disciplines of the program: complete set of disciplines describing the Russian language (phonetics, word formation, morphology, syntax, style); a wide selection of European languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), courses of Russian as a foreign language, intercultural communication, courses on classical and modern literature.
