I heard that some high schools in Heilongjiang have Russian elective courses. Who knows if there are Russian elective courses in Yichun, Heilongjiang, and which high school has them?

Heilongjiang Province is an important window for communication between China and Russia. There is a great demand for Russian talents, but there are fewer and fewer schools offering Russian courses in junior and senior high schools in Heilongjiang Province. Take Harbin as an example: in the 1960s and 1970s, most middle and high schools in the city offered Russian courses, but at present there are only one or two schools offering Russian courses in Harbin. There is a serious shortage of Russian talents.

In order to encourage junior and senior high schools in Heilongjiang Province to offer Russian, Heilongjiang Province stipulated for the first time this year a preferential policy of giving Russian candidates 20 points in the college entrance examination, and hoped that after the implementation of this policy, more Russian talents would emerge in a few years.

This year, the High School Attached to Haida University, Harbin No.1 Korean Middle School and Harbin No.3 Middle School also enrolled students in languages other than English. Among them, the High School Attached to Haida University recruits students who are going to study Russian, French, German and Spanish in high schools for the whole province. Harbin Korean No.1 Middle School enrolls Korean experimental class 100 students for10 counties (cities) in eight districts under the jurisdiction of Harbin. The experimental class only enrolls non-Korean English candidates this year. Hegang, Jiamusi, Mudanjiang, Qitaihe and Jixi, as well as Heihe, Qiqihar, Daqing and Yichun, including Bei 'an.

Provincial key high schools in these places generally have Russian classes, because some junior high schools in these places have Russian classes. So there are Russian classes in high schools, but they are generally limited to key middle schools. In addition, there are Russian classes in No.1 Middle School outside Harbin (such as Binxian No.1 Middle School and Shuangcheng Zhao Lin Middle School).
