It is reported that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Russian Language Competition provided opportunities for Russian-speaking students from different schools to demonstrate their self-demeanor, and also provided a platform for teachers and students to learn Russian. It has stimulated students’ enthusiasm for Russian learning and promoted the communication of teaching and scientific research in Russian universities in the three provinces of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. It is of great significance to the development of Russian education in contemporary China and the integration of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.
