🇧🇭 Smart Edu Expo 2026: Russian Literature as Part of Common Cultural Environment 📅 On 29 September 2026, the official opening ceremony of the international exhibition Smart Edu Expo 2026 took place in Bahrain. The event brought together representatives of the education community, academic institutions and organisations working in the field of modern educational technologies. 📚 The stands featuring works of Russian classical literature attracted particular attention from visitors. Guests enthusiastically explored the works of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky and other Russian writers, expressing interest in Russia’s literary tradition and its contribution to world culture. ❗️ This is particularly noteworthy. The themes explored by Russian authors — moral choice, human dignity, self-sacrifice, love and justice — remain deeply relevant to audiences across the Middle East. Despite attempts by certain countries to ban everything Russian, our friends in the Arab world continue to value and cherish Russia’s rich cultural heritage in all its forms.
