former Patrice Lumumba University now the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, before an audience of 6,000 invited guests.
The president attended the university some 20 years ago, and obtained his Masters Degree in Economics at the end of his studies there, which means he had to be conversant in Russian to have been able to do that. He was selected by the university’s Academic Board on January 25, 2010 for the award.
The conferral ceremony was held at The Kremlin on the 50th Anniversary celebration of the founding of the University, which was established by the former USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) Government on February 5, 1960.
President Jagdeo, on receiving the honour, delivered a speech in Russian to the packed auditorium, his first such address since leaving the university.
In his presentation, he thanked the University for according him the honour and commended the institution for its multiculturalism.
On February 22, 1961, the university was renamed in honour of Patrice Lumumba, the leader of what later became the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who had been overthrown and murdered in a coup.
In the first year, 539 foreign students from 59 countries were enrolled, in addition to 57 Soviet students.
The university has, since its founding, graduated 90,000 students who work in approximately 165 different countries around the world. It has 57 programmes with a student population of about 33,000 students (including post-graduates and trainees) of 450 nationalities. (GINA)

Mike, Show some bloody respect and address the honorable as DR Bharat Jagdeo. No other in the Caribbean deserves such an HONOR. God BLESS THE President of Guyana. The Guyanese People are truly grateful to have him as their president.

Dr. who?
Only the commies would bestow such a title on one of their own.(in your face Obama). Now this is going to make the good doctor want to fly around the world more bad than ever, thumbing his nose at the US as he goes.
Suddenly, I feel sorry for the guyanese taxpayers.

To be fair, its not only communists who bestow honor on individuals. It happens everyday in America. Some deserving and others not.

However, its an honorary degree and the president should not like some fools, call himself, DR. Jagdeo. Then it would be a mockery to academia

Hey can the Prez speak Russian good???

President Jagdeo in receiving the honour delivered a speech in Russian to the packed auditorium, his first Russian address since attending the university.

All trained communist agents are capable of speaking and understanding Russian.

Jagdeo has the respect of the world community, the AFC/PNC would have us believe otherwise.

Yo Mike, I am doing fine Bhai. Dr Jagdeo, that has a sweet ring to it.
