Description
On May 15, 2007, a Confucius Institute at Blagoveshchensk National Pedagogical University in the city of Blagoveshchensk was officially established in collaboration with China’s Heihe University. In 2015, Russian authorities threatened to close down the Confucius Institute because it was registered as a foreign cultural center rather than a 'non-commercial' organization. The local authorities have referred to Confucius Institutes as organizations of foreign agents.
