The Russian volunteer “Mission Goodness” is expanding its activities in India. The group consists of three teachers from the Russian State Humanitarian University (RGGU) and seven students.
Currently, master classes are being conducted for children of the Mala Smriti Orphanage and students of Khrist Raja Secondary School in New Delhi.
“We introduced children to the elements of traditional Russian costume. Master classes were held on correcting the emotional sphere of children from the orphanage,” said Evgenia Kriger, head of the Department of Psychology and Pedagogy of Education at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
According to her, Russian volunteers “found it unexpected that in such a relatively short period of time, classes at the orphanage gave quite noticeable dynamics in correcting the emotional sphere.”
“In general, we are very pleased with the work, we like the way we are greeted. We gain quite a lot of experience working in another culture, understanding their reality,” she noted.

Volunteers of the Russian State Humanitarian University (RGGU) congratulated the orphans of the Delhi Mala Smriti orphanage on the main Indian and Hindu holiday Diwali, which in 2023 falls on November 12.
Assessing the activities of the «Mission Goodness», the famous Indian neurologist Rajkumar Pandey, a graduate of the 2nd Moscow State Medical Institute, noted that “this project is a psychological assessment process for underprivileged children in India. The assessment will likely consist of cognitive, emotional, behavioral and attentional aspects of children. India lives in many eras at the same time: the 21st and 19th centuries are very close to each other here”.
On the same day, Mission Goodness, representatives of the Indian Association of Russian Compatriots (IARC) and the Russian House visited the popular literary cafe “The Reader's cafe” in Gaziabad. A batch of literature about Russia was donated to the café's book collection for regular bibliophiles.

Livadia Palace is a historical monument on the Black Sea coast in Crimea. It is the last construction of the Russian Empire, created for the Romanov family.
Several Livadia palaces were built by order of the royal family. Only one has survived to this day. The first stone was laid in 1910, the construction and decoration took 17 months.
The palace was built in the style of Italian Renaissance villas with open galleries, openwork balconies and carved decoration. The material for it was white Inkermansky stone - a type of limestone, which is mined in the Crimea.
After the revolution, a museum of the royal family's life worked in the palace for several years, and then a tuberculosis sanatorium for peasants was organized. After the war and until Stalin's death in 1953, the palace served as a summer house for the highest state officials of the USSR. And only after the collapse of the Union, in 1993, the palace was turned into a museum.
The Livadia Palace in Yalta became especially famous after the famous Crimean Conference of the heads of three allied states: the USSR, the USA and Great Britain was held there in 1945. A monument to the leaders of the "Big Three" - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - was erected here.
