The Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (Russian: Российский университет дружбы народов имени Патриса Лумумбы, romanized: Rossijskij universitet družby narodov imeni Patrisa Lumumby, lit. 'Russian university of the friendship of peoples/nations named after Patrice Lumumba'), also known as RUDN University and, until 1992 and since 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 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. RUDN University was considered the 'Oxford' of Russia in the mid-1980s due to the fame it achieved within a short period. RUDN University's stance on global issues became neutral after the end of the Cold War with the collapse of the Soviet Union. RUDN University mainly focuses on research and has partnerships with over 2,500 foreign universities and research centres. In March 2023, the name of Patrice Lumumba was returned to the RUDN University. Rector Oleg Alexandrovich Ya
