　　Since the outbreak of the Russian epidemic, the Russian government has taken effective anti-epidemic measures and achieved good results. In late March, a large number of Russian citizens returned to Russia from Italy, France, Spain, the United Kingdom and other countries with severe epidemics, resulting in an outbreak of the Russian epidemic. Therefore, the Russian government launched more powerful prevention and control measures. From March 29 to April 30, all Russian schools were suspended from work and closed to homes, and all colleges and universities began online distance education. At present, the Russian people's hearts are stable and the market supply is sufficient. The Russian government has solemnly stated that it will do its utmost to help Chinese citizens in Russia. The vast number of students studying in Russia consciously abide by the quarantine regulations, and while studying and defending against epidemic disease, they continued to study, demonstrating the style of students studying in Russia in the new period.

　　Dear parents, New Coronary Pneumonia is spreading all over the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have always been concerned about the safety and security of overseas students. The health and safety of the students is the greatest expectation of the motherland. As the home of students studying in Russia, the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Russia attaches great importance to the health and safety of students studying in Russia.

　　Recently, the Chinese government went to Russia to bring anti-epidemic medical experts to bring protective equipment. They had in-depth exchanges with their Russian counterparts and shared China's anti-epidemic experience. At the same time, they responded to the concerns of international students through video connections. "Health packs" from the motherland have also arrived one after another and will be distributed to every student as soon as possible.

　　Parents may have learned from the media that some Chinese businessmen in Russia have been infected due to their extensive contacts. To this end, embassies and consulates in Russia have done a lot of work to communicate and negotiate with the Russian side, contact Russian medical institutions, and provide necessary services to these Chinese businessmen. For mild patients who will not be admitted to Russia, the embassy and consulate will actively coordinate to provide testing and treatment. The above measures have stabilized people's hearts. However, there are still a few Chinese citizens who rush back to China, and a considerable number of people are infected with new coronary pneumonia during the journey.

　　To this end, the embassy and consulates in Russia have repeatedly reminded that long-distance travel poses a huge risk to themselves and other passengers, and cross-infection is prone to occur. At present, the travel inspection function of China-Russia land port has been temporarily closed, and the Russian Far East region has imposed Chinese citizens from other parts of Russia for 14 days. Local medical resources are limited. Once problems occur, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment cannot be achieved.

At the same time, parents and friends are asked to tell their children that they will report to embassies and consulates in Russia if they encounter difficulties. We will be online all the time, paying attention to the life and health of every student, and greet the final victory of the fight against the disease together with the students!

　　Dear parents, China and Russia are all-round strategic cooperative partners in the new era. The two countries have sufficient political will and various resources and means to help each other and support each other to jointly defeat the New Crown Virus and provide a bright day for the people of the two countries and the vast number of international students.

　　Let us wish all students studying in Russia safe and healthy and their academic progress!
