Peoples' Friendship University of Russia

The Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, also known as RUDN University and until 1992 and after March 2023, as Patrice Lumumba University in honour of the Congolese politician Patrice Lumumba, is a public research university located in Moscow, Russia. It was established in 1960 by a resolution from the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR to help nations to assist countries that had recently achieved independence from colonial powers. The university also acted to further Soviet foreign policy goals in nonaligned countries.

The University focused on catering to non-aligned countries, which were previously known as the "Third World". The University's main goal was to train personnel from Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
