Celebrating Victory Day Together: Alabuga Start Participants Join in Commemorative Event

Participants from Nigeria and Rwanda, part of Alabuga Start, came together to honour Victory Day in a touching ceremony.

The ladies have been quick to immerse themselves in Russian society, diligently learning the language, embracing local customs, and delving into the culture. Victoria Kilani and Vaste Uwase actively participated in the festivities in Yelabuga.
