Participants from different faculties recited poems in Russian, French, and Spanish. The lines were lyrical, sharp, and unexpected.

• Oksana Vasilyevna Razumovskaya - PhD in Philology, Associate Professor of the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature at the Philological Faculty of RUDN
• Vladimir Alekseevich Meskin - Professor of the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature at the Philological Faculty of RUDN
• Vera Vladimirovna Kalmykova - Russian philologist, art critic, poet. Author of books on the history of art and literature.

Their choice was not easy.

🥇 Olga Vasyarova (Philological Faculty, 4th year)
🥈 Alexander Oganian (Philological Faculty, 4th year)
🥉 Ulyana Nagornova (Philological Faculty, 1st year)

🏆🎖Grigory Sofiysky (Institute of the Russian Language, 2nd year) took the Audience Sympathy Prize and the award for the best poem in a foreign language.

 

The evening's atmosphere was lively and sincere; guests were entertained by:

🎶 Folk studio "Krapiva" with a fiery "Kalinka" and Vika Markova (MarVi) with original songs
✍ Yuri Vinokurov and Rodion Shafikov (two-time champions of previous tournaments) clashed in a poetic slam, with the outcome decided by the audience.

🎁The audience didn't leave empty-handed either – a prize draw from RUDN's Scientific Library and the "Bukap" electronic library system added excitement.
