An online quiz featuring fairy tales by Alexander Pushkin took place in Yerevan

The Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan arranged a literary quiz based on the tales of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. It was entitled "On Trails Unknown to Man..." and intended for students of the "Steps" program by Russian language courses. Classes are held online.

During the quiz, the teacher Juliet Abrahamyan and Svetlana Samuelyan, the leading specialist of the Russian Language Department of the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan, tested the students' knowledge of the favourite fairy tales by Alexander Pushkin.
