The Russian Compatriots through the Eyes of Foreigners section was launched by the website of the Moscow House of Compatriots. Malaysian writer Sakip Shaker, the author of a book on cooperation between Russia and Malaysia, became its first guest. He said that Russian compatriots living in Malaysia, through educational and cultural events, created a positive impression of Russia among the locals.

According to the writer, the Russian diaspora in Malaysia is small, but the events it organizes have a great response in the country. Hikes in the mountains organized by compatriots are especially popular; they help Malaysians to discover their own nature and communicate with interesting interlocutors.

Sakip Shaker noted that acquaintance with Russian compatriots interested many Malaysians in Russian culture and prompted them to study the Russian language. In his book, he spoke about Russia in an simple language, dwelling in detail on the Great Patriotic War, space exploration and other important pages of Russian history.

Local youth treats Russia well, largely thanks to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is perceived in Malaysia as a strong leader. There are also many fans of the famous Russian mixed martial arts wrestler Khabib Nurmagomedov in the country.
