Russian Language Opens 'Many Fields' for Those Who Master It: Malian OfficialRussian is a language that facilitates communication "with all its richness and variety," Fousseynou Ouattara, Vice President of Mali's Commission for Defense, Security, and Civil Protection, told Sputnik Africa."The Russian language has opened many fields for me. Even before going to the Soviet Union, I had become acquainted with Russian literature. [...] I saw there was a wide possibility for someone who loves to read to find all kinds of literature," he noted.Many young Malians are expressing interest in Russian, and educational institutions are adapting to this demand, he added, also praising the organization of the international literary competition "Russky Glagol."ℹ The name of the competition, "Glagol," refers to a letter in the Glagolitic alphabet—the oldest Slavic alphabet—as well as to the act of speaking and making one's voice heard.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
