Many of our Russian language students participated in the Saint Petersburg State University (St. Petersburg, Russia) Olympiad of Russian as a Foreign Language in the USA. The Olympiad competition consisted of two stages. Stage one included grammar and vocabulary questions as well as reading assignments. After successful completion of the first stage, these students were moved to the second stage, which consisted of an oral interview with representatives from Saint Petersburg State University. There were 155 students competing in the event from colleges and universities all across the United States.
