International students at OSTU study Russian language first, and then take the chosen
courses (majors) if they wish to continue their
studies. Individual and group teaching of Russian
language to foreign students is organized during
both the academic year and the summer holidays
in July - August (Russian Language Summer

Foreign students take courses at both secondary vocational and higher professional education levels at the University.
Taking into consideration increasing demand for learning Russian as a foreign language OSTU has launched Russian Language Summer
School since 2010. Today ca.30 students attend it annually. Students studying at Summer School are striving to
improve their knowledge of Russian language for further

City of Omsk, Omsk Region and Omsk People
Omsk is the principal city and administrative center of Omsk region. It is situated in the
center of Russia (2,555 km from Moscow) at the
confluence of the rivers Irtysh and Om.
Omsk was founded in 1716 as the fortress
protecting Russian frontier in Siberia. It acquired the town status in 1782. It had been the
administrative center of Siberian Cossack Army until 1918. The construction of TransSiberian Railway in the late 19th century and presence of the port on the Irtysh river contributed to the development of industrial production and trade development in Omsk. From
November 1918 till November 1919 the Russian Government, headed by the High Regent
of Russia admiral A.V. Kolchak, was set in Omsk. His headquarter was located in Omsk
Railway Administration Building. In 1961 Omsk State Transport University was moved
from Tomsk to Omsk and occupied that very building. Currently this building is under
governmental protection as historic landmark.
During World War II a lot of major industrial enterprises were evacuated to Omsk
from the European part of Russia. It was the time when the population of Omsk increased
threefold. Today Omsk is a home for about 1,100,000 citizens. Ca. 2,100,000 people live
in Omsk region on the territory of 139,700 square kilometers that equals to the territories
of Austria, Belgium and Netherlands put together.
There are a lot of fresh and saline lakes in Omsk region. In the south wooded steppe
is prevailing, in the north it is dark coniferous taiga. Oil and gas are extracted in the northern part of the region. The multinational population of Omsk region (counting more than
100 nationalities) consists mainly of Russians, Kazakhs, Ukrainians, Germans and Tatars.

production. Space rockets, engines, agricultural machines, oil-and-gas equipment and construction materials are also produced in Omsk. Railway enterprises located in Omsk – locomotive and car sheds, enterprises of power supply and transportation management – are
among the best in Russia in terms of technological infrastructure and efficiency.
There are ca. 30 higher educational institutions in Omsk. The best known are Omsk
State Transport University, Omsk State Technical University, Omsk State University
named after F.M. Dostoevsky, Omsk State Teachers’ Training University, Siberian State
University of Physical Culture and Sport, Siberian Automobile and Highway Academy,

The city of Omsk is a cultural and sports centre of Siberia. History of the city is associated with the name of the great Russian writer F.M. Dostoevsky, famous artist M.A.
Vrubel was born there. Omsk Philharmonic Orchestra and Omsk State Russian Folk Choir
