The students of the Faculty of Philology of the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute won the #StartupHouse Industrial Interuniversity Accelerator for an online platform for foreigners studying Russian, according to the university's page on VKontakte.

The platform named "Russian Squeezy" allows users to ask questions about various aspects and rules of the Russian language, and get answers from specialists. Users can learn more about life in Russia.

The captain of the team Marina Buzulukova said that they were prompted to create the platform by the stories of foreign students studying in Russia about the difficulties in learning the Russian language and finding the necessary information on the Internet.

The students decided to create a universal platform that would incorporate the materials necessary for learning the Russian language and getting to know Russian culture, and would be useful not only for students, but also for RSL teachers.
