Russian universities pay tribute to Students’ Day

Every year on January 25th, Russia celebrates Students’ Day (Tatiana’s Day), one of the oldest professional holidays in the country. Established in 1850, this day is associated with the memory of Saint Tatiana of Rome, considered the patroness of all students. The symbolism of the celebration is emphasized by its alignment with the academic calendar – January 25th marks the end of the first semester's examination session and the beginning of the winter student vacation.

In Tomsk State University, for the second year in a row, students congratulate their professors, tutors, fellows, mates, and all current and former students by sending or physically distributing the special greeting cards - «tatyanka» (a paraphrase of “valentinka” – the card on St. Valentine’s). “Tatiankas” help adults to remember joyful moments of student life; also, they contain pleasant wishes for students and faculty.

At Tomsk Polytechnic University, the celebration takes the form of Student Night, with workshops, eSports competitions, movie screenings, food, and contests. In addition, January 25th is declared the Day of Forgiving Library Debts, allowing students to return overdue books (not only theirs but also those of their groupmates and friends) without penalties.

More than sixty student organizations collaborate to offer interactive programs, quizzes, masterclasses, and various activities. The university atrium hosts a concert program, and, of course, a disco adds to the lively atmosphere. The holiday even has a separate Telegram-channel. (pic. 12)
