The Department of Russian Language and Literature of the Institute of Philology of Abai KazNPU constantly maintains scientific relations with many foreign universities in Russia, Poland, Estonia and other countries. One of them is the National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow). Together with this university, the department worked on a scientific project for three years. Scientists from the Higher School of Economics (V. Plungyan, E. Rakhilina, E. Kazartsev) came to our university to give lectures.
