On October 16, the first lecture within the History Club was held on the topic “Belgians in the land of the Tsars in 1900,” presented by historian Professor Vladimir Ronin. The event generated significant interest among the French-speaking audience and filled the hall with listeners.

Professor Ronin thoroughly and comprehensively covered the influence of Belgian culture and economy on Russia in the early 20th century. In his presentation, he addressed important topics such as trade relations, cultural exchanges, and historical ties between the two countries. Participants had a unique opportunity to learn about lesser-known facts, as well as view archival photographs and documents from that era. After the lecture, attendees asked the professor questions and shared their impressions.
