Happy Russian Students' Day!

Dear students,
 
Happy Russian Students' Day!
This holiday is included in the list of memorable dates in Russia and is celebrated annually on January 25th. The holiday's history and traditions date back to the 18th century. On January 25th (January 12th, Old Style), 1755, Empress Elizabeth, supporting the initiative of Count Ivan Shuvalov and Mikhail Lomonosov, signed the decree "On the Establishment of Moscow University."
 
Being a student is wonderful! You are young, healthy, beautiful, active, and have a whole life ahead of you, full of new discoveries, successes, and victories. It is during your student years that you gain unforgettable impressions, make lifelong friends, make long-term plans, and are full of strength and energy for everything new and interesting. I wish all KSUAE students good health, a vibrant and fulfilling life, prosperity, love, and happiness!

KSUAE is a healthy, athletic environment. We have all the conditions for physical education and sports, whether you're a master of sport or just starting out. And this is crucial: our students are the future of Kazan, Tatarstan, and all of Russia, and they should be strong, healthy professionals and patriots of their homeland.

The Builder Sports Complex, the second gymnasium, the stadium, and our camp on the Mesha River provide an excellent base for physical education and sports.

The Tatarstan University Spartakiad is held annually, where we consistently participate and always place in the top three overall. I would call this competition the championship of our Republic's universities.

We performed equally well in 2025. The KSUAE team took third place in the Spartakiad (29 sports), scoring 965 points. The cup was awarded to our team's head of the Department of Physical Education and Sports, Master of Sports, and PhD. Vladimir Kalmanovich was presented with the award by Tatarstan Minister of Sport V.A. Leonov and President of the Russian Student Sports Union S.V. Kryukov.
