Student Day is celebrated in Russia on January 25.

The history of Student Day in Russia dates back to 1755, when Empress Elizabeth Petrovna signed a decree on the establishment of the Imperial Moscow University, now the Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The date of signing the document coincided with the day of commemoration of St. Martyr Tatiana of Rome, who lived at the turn of the II-III centuries in Rome. The Orthodox Church honors the saint on January 25. In Russia, this day was known as Tatiana's Day.

Traditionally, concerts and other entertainment events will be organized on Student Day. Museums and exhibition halls offer free admission for students, for this they need to provide a student ticket.

On January 25, entrance will also be free for female visitors with the name Tatiana.
