The Russian House in Dhaka organised a week-long programme marking the 65th anniversary of the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite ‘Sputnik-1’.
The event also included a photo exhibition titled ‘The History of Russian Space Activities’, a quiz competition and a seminar.
Maxim Dobrokhotov, Director of the Russian House in Dhaka, handed over the prizes to the winners of the competition.
Expressing hope, he said such educational events will encourage Bengali youths to choose their future profession and take higher studies in Russia.
