Moscow: The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, will host the V Kostomarov Forum.

According to Emirates News Agency, the international media partner of the event, the forum will take place from 21 to 24 May 2025. Participants will engage in discussions on modern approaches to teaching Russian as a foreign language, the development of linguo-country studies, the use of artificial intelligence in educational practices, and current methods of training specialists in Russian studies. The event is expected to attract researchers, teachers, and Russianists from over 100 countries.

In addition, the forum will feature a strategic session titled "The Image of Russia Abroad and Mechanisms of its Modelling". Among the notable speakers is Tamara Skok, Director of the Department of Innovative Linguistic Projects at TV BRICS and Head of the "Modern Russian" project. Tamara Skok, who holds a Ph.D. in Philology, emphasized the annual participation of the "Modern Russian" project in the Kostomarov Forum, which showcases its developments in promoting the Russian language globally. The educational projects of the media network are well-received among fellow Russianists for their methodological novelty and practicality.

Tamara Skok expressed hope that the forum will lead to an increase in the number of universities implementing programs for teaching Russian as a foreign language and willing to collaborate with TV BRICS in promoting the language internationally.
