On October 1, 2024, Hamazkayin opened a new Armenian school in the Novaya Zvezda (Kommunarka) neighborhood of Moscow. Additional Hamazkayin schools are opening on November 1 in Yuzhnoye Butovo and Razvilka neighborhoods.
The success of these schools is predicated on considering the problems of learning Armenian in a Russian-speaking environment; textbooks and workbooks that teach children what is often their mother tongue; and other pedagogic issues in studying and spreading the Armenian language and Armenian culture.
The concerns driving this project are resistance to assimilation, preventing our children living in the Russian republic from being cut off from their roots, familiarizing them with the cultural legacy created by the Armenian people, and keeping our language and national traditions in the diaspora—consistent with a century of effort by Hamazkayin.
