✍️ Комментарий Посла России в ЮАР Р.Е.Амбарова, опубликованный на портале TV BRICS (7 августа 2025 года)
В настоящее время в России на программах высшего профессионального образования обучается более 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ южноафриканцев, включая как поступивших по квоте, предоставляемой ЮАР Правительством России, так и на договорной основе. Помимо Москвы и Санкт-Петербурга, местные абитуриенты выбирают вузы Саратова, Тамбова, Астрахани, Курска. Востребовано российское высшее образование по медицинским и инженерным специальностям, математике, компьютерным наукам.
Полученное в России высшее образование ценится даже с учётом того, что по ряду направлений по завершении обучения требуется подтверждение квалификации для работы в ЮАР (например, медикам – ведь в Южной Африке особые географические и климатические условия).
Частично студентов, решивших получать высшее образование в России, софинансирует Министерство высшего образования и профессиональной подготовки ЮАР, конечно, исходя из своих критериев, одним из которых является обязательство по завершении обучения вернуться на родину и отработать определенный срок.
Действительно, многие южноафриканцы мечтают учиться в России. Позвольте поделиться очень доброй историей, как сбылась одна такая мечта 👇
Воспитанница детского дома «Новый Иерусалим» в г.Мидранде по имени Бенедикт, которая потеряла обоих родителей и 11 лет провела в приюте, очень хотела учиться в России. Она занималась на онлайн-курсах русского языка, организованных Санкт-Петербургским госуниверситетом специально для заинтересованных жителей ЮАР. В 2024 году подала заявку на обучение в РУДН им. Патриса Лумумбы и прошла отбор. Круглая сирота, она не могла оплатить авиабилеты и проживание в Москве, но ей на помощь пришла российская община в ЮАР, которая уже давно поддерживает этот детский дом.
Сейчас Бенедикт в Москве. Она уже закончила подфак РГУ нефти и газа им. И.М.Губкина и скоро приступит к освоению основной образовательной программы в РУДН.

✍️ Comment by Russian Ambassador to South Africa Roman #Ambarov published by TV BRICS media outlet on August 6, 2025
Currently, more than 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ South Africans are studying in higher education programs in Russia. This includes those who enrolled through the quota provided by the Russian Government to South Africa, as well as those studying on a contractual basis. In addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg, local applicants choose universities in Saratov, Tambov, Astrakhan, and Kursk. Russian higher education is in demand in fields such as medicine, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.
A degree earned in Russia is highly valued, even though in some fields graduates must have their qualifications recognized before they can work in South Africa (for example, medical professionals — due to South Africa’s unique geographic and climatic conditions).
Some of the students who decide to pursue higher education in Russia receive co-funding from South Africa’s Department of Higher Education and Training. The support is based on certain criteria, one of which is the obligation to return home and work for a certain period after completing their studies.
Indeed, many South Africans dream of studying in Russia. Allow me to share a heartwarming story of one such dream that came true 👇
Benedict, a resident of the “New Jerusalem” orphanage in Midrand, who lost both parents and spent 11 years in the orphanage, had a strong desire to study in Russia. She took part in online Russian language courses organized by Saint Petersburg State University specifically for interested South African residents. In 2024, she applied for admission to the Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia #RUDN and was accepted. As a full orphan, she could not afford airfare or living expenses in Moscow. However, the Russian community in South Africa, which has long supported the orphanage, stepped in to help.
Benedict is now in Moscow. She has already completed the preparatory program at Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and will soon begin her main studies at RUDN.

🧑💻 Digitalization of trade in the EAEU
The ultimate goal of integration in the territory of Greater #Eurasia, and the #GlobalSouth is economic cooperation and prosperity of the region’s nations. Digital tools simplify access to international markets, automate document flow and reduce transaction costs.
The development of integration associations - #BRICS, #SCO, #EAEU - has made it possible to jointly develop and implement digital platforms for trade and international economic activity.
Already in operation are:
- Electronic systems of mutual settlements and document flow
- International trade platforms (for example, Eurasian Export Support Centre)
- Digital infrastructure for new transport corridors.
The potential of digital integration is high, and its implementation requires unification of regulations, investments in infrastructure as well as support for local businesses.

💪👩 We continue the series dedicated to South Africa’s National Women’s Day. This entry is about Soviet female heroes who bravely and selflessly fought for their homeland in World War II. Their feat demonstrated incredible strength of character, boundless resilience and unwavering love for their country. All of them were posthumously awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
🔹 Lidia Litvyak – the most successful female fighter pilot of WWII, the "White Lily of Stalingrad" – completed 186 combat sorties, was wounded three times, personally shot down 11 enemy aircrafts, and downed 3 more in a group effort, along with one observation balloon. On August 1, 1943, while participating in a breakthrough of the German defenses at the Mius River, she was killed during a combat mission.
🔹 Lyudmila Pavlichenko – the most effective female sniper of WWII – as part of the 25th Guards Rifle Division, participated in the defense of Odessa and Sevastopol. Her personal combat score is 309 enemy soldiers and officers (36 of them were snipers). After being seriously wounded, L.Pavlichenko was recalled from the front. In September 1942, as part of a delegation of Soviet youth, she went to the International Students Assembly in the United States. In Chicago, she stood before large crowds, and her speech was iconic.
🔹 Roza Shanina – one of the best female single snipers – took part in the Red Army’s East Prussian Offensive. On January 27, 1945, covering the commander of the artillery unit, she was severely wounded by a shell fragment. R.Shanina was taken to the hospital while still alive, where she died of her wounds the next day.
🔹 Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya – the first woman to be named a Hero of the Soviet Union – was a scout and saboteur in a special forces unit of the intelligence department of the Western Front Headquarters during the most difficult days of the Battle of Moscow. While carrying out a combat mission in the village of Petrishchevo near Moscow, she was captured due to the betrayal of a local resident and executed on November 29, 1941. Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya endured her truly martyr-like path with courage and dignity.

🐾 August 8 — International Cat Day.
A good day to remember that even the sharpest minds often found comfort in soft paws and silent company.
📸 Yuri Knorozov (1922–1999)
• Soviet linguist and epigrapher who deciphered the Maya hieroglyphic script, overturning decades of scholarly assumptions
• Proved that Maya writing was syllabic, not ideographic — a breakthrough in the 1950s
• Published "The Writing of the Maya Indians" (1952), still cited today
His cat Asya was his constant companion — and was even present during his thesis defense.
📸 Alexander Alekhine (1892–1946)
• Fourth World Chess Champion (1927–1935, 1937–1946)
• The only world champion to die holding the title
• Author of numerous annotated game collections and theoretical works
In this photo, he studies the board with his Siamese cat Chess — his quiet partner in preparation.
📸 Joseph Brodsky (1940–1996)
• Nobel Laureate in Literature (1987) for “an all-embracing authorship, imbued with clarity of thought and poetic intensity”
• Known for meditative, erudite poetry blending classical forms and personal depth
Here, Brodsky holds a cat with the same contemplative presence seen in his verse.
