MASLENITSA WITH AN ACCENT

21 Feb 2023

  Over 30 USUE students from Turkey, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Cameroon, Senegal, Guinea, and Mali watched with bated breath how the liquid of eggs, flour, milk and sugar turns into ruddy thin griddle cakes. Foreigners were taught to make pancakes by Irina Kapralova, Vice President of the Culinary Association of the Sverdlovsk region, the chef of one of the Yekaterinburg restaurants. She said:"I am glad that USUE international students have an interest in making traditional Russian pancakes: they learned how to cook them with care and with delight. For us, this is a familiar pastry, but for visitors from other continents, this is an unusual dish in the form of a thin dough sheet. I think I've managed to disclose a recipe for a new dish. Last November, I already met with international students of USUE. At that time, I told them how to bake pies." Besides the key ingredients, they added spinach to the batter to give the pancakes an unusual color and add health benefits."Now spinach is considered to be the most important vegetable for maintaining health. It contains vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers. They normalize the work of the gastrointestinal tract. Spinach allows pancakes, which are considered rather heavy food, to be digested better and faster," said Olga Chugunova, head of the USUE Department of Nutrition Technology.USUE international students especially enjoyed to stuff pancakes with filling of cabbage with egg and cottage cheese. After tasting, they emphasized the dish turned out to be very satisfying: a couple of pancakes can easily replace a full meal."I came to study at USUE from Egypt. We make similar griddle cakes with meat. But Russian pancakes are different! I tried them today for the first time. It was a discovery for me they add not only minced meat but also cabbage and cottage cheese. You can turn them into a dessert by serving with condensed milk. It's tasty! And most importantly, it is satisfying!" said a student of the USUE Preparatory Faculty Ahmed Salem.

ABOUT LOVE IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

14 Feb 2023

ABInternational and Russian students met at the USUE Museum on St. Valentine's Day. They read poems about love and shared with each other the national traditions of celebrating St. Valentine's Day. On February 14, many countries around the world celebrate Valentine's Day, which is also the holiday of all lovers. According to European tradition, on this day, boys and girls exchange valentines to say about their feelings. USUE International and Russian students decided to share their favorite poems. Students who came to USUE from different regions of Russia, as well as from India, Cameroon, and Tajikistan, gathered at the USUE museum.The participants noted that Valentine's Day is celebrated almost all over the planet. However, each country has already developed its own traditions. Pokam Nde Pierre Canis told that in Cameroon, where he comes from, on this day, girls and boys give flowers to each other, go to restaurants and cinema. He read the poem "Love Stories" in French, noting that this poem could be a delightful gift for a girl.USUE college student Gulziya Bakhtieva said that this holiday had emerged in Tajikistan quite recently and had not yet become as popular as in Russia. On Valentine's Day in Tajikistan, many shops sell valentines, but they are not in great demand, which upsets local sellers.Makhto Shaligram Hrithikcame to Yekaterinburg from India. He read the poem "About Love" in his native and Russian languages and also spoke about the traditions that have remained unchanged in India for many centuries."If in Russia they first fall in love and then get married, in India it's the other way around. Indians do not see their brides before the wedding. However, after they started a family, a man and a woman make a whole. It's customary for us: a woman is Goddess, and a man is God," a student of the USUE preparatory faculty Makhto Shaligram Hrithik says.Ndonza Mbonge Valerie Leonelread a self-penned poem. Last year, he came to study at USUE from Cameroon and, while in Russia, wrote the poem "What is love?". Leonel noted he loves poetry and respects Russian poets and writers. The works of A. S. Pushkin are of special interest to him. As a gift to all the girls present at the meeting, Leonel read the poet's poem "I loved you..." in Russian. The moving performance of the young man touched the listeners' feelings and the audience burst into applause.  

WE ARE NOT SO DIFFERENT

14 Dec 2022

Today, Russian and foreign students met again at the USUE Museum. This time they shared with each other the traditions of celebrating New Year and Christmas.Directly at the entrance to the hall of the museum, we met students with a TV screen with movie stills from the Eldar Ryazanov's Irony of Fate. "It is the most popular New Year Russian film," Russians explained to foreigners. Tangerines and sweets on the table were already waiting for students.The first meeting of students took place in November. Therefore, it took little time to present themselves and they immediately proceeded to the main thing - decorating the Christmas tree. The Russians said that in our country traditionally all the family decorate a Christmas tree and that, according to an unwritten tradition, some part of the tree will look less-dressed. Having decorated the fir-tree with a garland, the audience shouted: "Christmas tree, light up!", which was a signal for Father Frost and Snow Maiden to appear in the museum. Foreigners recited poems in Russian, which they had learned during their studies at the Preparatory Faculty. They received small gifts from the fairy-tale hero. Then, students from Cameroon, Egypt, India, and Senegal talked about what New Year traditions exist in their countries. Most every of these countries has been influenced by Western Europe. So, in African countries, Catholic Christmas and Santa Claus are more famous. However, for example, in Egypt, most of the population professes the Islamic faith. Therefore, Christmas is not celebrated there. However, in big cities, where there are always a lot of tourists from Europe, they organize New Year celebrations as a compromise between secular and religious holidays. It is very warm in almost all countries where USUE international students came from. And the snow there, if it falls, is light. Therefore, there are no winter attributes of the New Year familiar to us, including the main decoration of any apartment in Russia—fir tree or pine. Some cultures have their own calendar system. For example, in India, according to the unified national calendar, the current year is 1943. However, they seldom use it, preferring global date designations.Director of the USUE Museum, Yulia Taushkanova, noted that the goal of the organizers was to bring together representatives of different cultures so that they could make sure there is more in common between peoples than it might seem at first glance.

Badminton in November? Yes!

01 Dec 2022

                   What should the student do, if the weather is freezing? Right! Badminton! Guys didn’t afraid the frost and started for activities searching. They found their own sport in the «Verh Isetskiy» sports complex, the address Kirova street 71. The students of the Preparatory Faculty rented the entire hall and jumped with rackets and shuttlecocks for an hour. The player runs about one and a half kilometers and makes 400 strikes on the shuttlecock in one game, and it consists of two or three periods! So our foreign students may compete for Olympic Gold, even if not in badminton, but by friendly submission and a fun jump :)
