Academic Info

In Volgograd, we have an academic project called M&M– Mentor and Mentee. In this project, some seniors are assigned as tutors to the juniors on certain subjects. Basically, it is for the juniors to get important information from the seniors regarding their subjects (eg-anatomy, pharmacology) and gaining general ideas on clinical importance of what they learn during preclinical years.

Classes/tuitions are held informally at hostel rooms, hostel lounges, even in apartments. Time of classes are also flexible, depending on agreement between the mentors and mentees.

This project have proved to be effective, reliable and helpful.

It is free, so you just have to know your tutor for the subject and make yourself free for the classes!

Mosques in Volgograd

Currently, we have one big mosque located in Ulitsa Lengoranskaya and one other small mosque located in Kirovsky region, which only has the size of one tiny bedroom.

Therefore, the muftis planned to build an Islamic Centre at the place of previous mosque at Kirovksy.2,5 hectares of land were allocated to Moslems of the Volgograd Area for the construction of the Kirovsky Islamic Centre.

The Islamic Centre complex includes: Cathedral Mosque, College and Business Centre. All of there mentioned will locate on the bank of the Islamic religion, culture and traditions. Unfortunately, the Islamic Centre is engaged in the construction under the hardest economic conditions without having necessary finances.

Halal Goods

Halal frozen chickens “Doux” imported from France are sold at :

1. Hiroshima hostel. Floor 6 ½- by PPIM-Volgograd. They are bought in bulk from a market located far from city centre.

2. Some hypermarkets.eg-Perekrestok at Park House

3. Produkti ‘Gurman’ at улица рокосовсково 1.

At Gurman, you can also get other halal products such as chicken fillet, meats, kolbasa, sausages and cutlets. Ps: it is not a fully-halal produkti. So,look out for the ‘halal’ label on its packaging.

Other than that, masjid serves halal goods usually during Friday prayers, or during eid.

Restaurants: not many, and no specific ‘halal’ restaurant. Just some fast food restaurants which serve fish burgers, seafood pizzas, etc.

Piece of History

We welcome you for the 6-years-battle in the city of heroes-Volgograd formerly called Tsaritsyn (1598–1925) and Stalingrad (1925–1961) ,a city which is 80 kilometres long and situated on the west bank of the Volga River.

The city was the scene of heavy fighting during the Russian Civil War. Also,  During WW II, the city of Stalingrad became the center of the Battle of Stalingrad as well as the pivotal turning point in the war against Germany.

The city was reduced to rubble during the fierce fighting, but reconstruction began soon after the Germans were expelled from the city. It was rebuild after the war, that is why most of the buildings are new, except for some historical buildings which are kept as artifacts. Well, u will learn more about the so-called Stalingrad war during your Russian History classes.

For the heroism shown during the battle, Stalingrad was awarded the title Hero City  in 1945. A memorial complex commemorating the battle, dominated by an immense allegorical sculpture of Mother Russia, was erected on the Mamayev Kurgan , a hill that saw some of the most intense fighting during the battle..

In a week, your university registration will be taken care by the lecturers. If you need to shop your basic needs, I bet there are seniors who are willing to help. So, get to know your Malaysian community a.s.a.p. Please consult your seniors if you have any problems. Ask even if it is the lamest question, especially regarding communication with the Russians. The people are friendly, well– some of them. But you need fluent Russians to make them like you. So never take your Russian language classes for granted!
