July 16, 2026
Rus Education, in collaboration with the Russian Centre, announced the 2nd edition of the 27th Russian Education Fair (REF) 2026 – a nationwide series of admission fairs bringing India’s leading medical aspirants face-to-face with top Russian government medical universities. The fair will travel across nine cities between 18th and 26th July 2026, offering students direct access to university delegates, expert counselling, and on-the-spot registration under one roof.
The Russian Education Fair has, for over two decades, served as a trusted bridge between Indian students and Russia’s state medical institutions, helping thousands of NEET-qualified aspirants make informed, well-guided decisions about pursuing MBBS in Russia. This edition continues that legacy with an expanded nine-city footprint, bringing the fair closer to students in every region of the country.
Distinguished University Delegates
Students and parents attending the fair will have the opportunity to interact directly with senior representatives from Russia’s state medical universities, including:
Ms. Trifonova Elena Valentinovna, Deputy Director, Institute of Medicine and Experimental Biology, Pskov State University
Ms. Zaburdaeva Tatiana Ivanovna, Deputy Director, Medical Institute, Mari State University
Their presence will give students a rare, direct window into curriculum structure, hostel and campus life, NMC-compliant academic frameworks, and the admission process, all from the universities themselves, rather than through intermediaries.
