A short story about kushtdepdi brought victory to a student from Turkmenistan at a competition in Moscow
Narina Kiseleva, a student from Turkmenistan who is studying at the Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPSU), won the V International Competition "Tell the world about your Homeland".
The project provided participants with the opportunity to tell people around the world about customs, traditions, the main attractions of their countries, cities and towns through text presentations or videos.
The competition, divided into four age categories, was attended by about 6,000 participants from 35 states and 89 regions of Russia.
A native of Turkmenistan won in the youngest age category, presenting a video for the jury's choice telling about the national dance of kushtdepdi - and she did it in 90 seconds, according to the rules of the competition.
— In general, we can say that I jumped into the last car of the departing train, as I decided to take part shortly before the completion of the work. To participate, I prepared a video presentation, shot everything in a day, edited it in a few hours, because the deadlines were tight, but, as you can see, I managed," the winner told ORIENT. — There was, however, a difficulty. After all, I can talk about Turkmenistan endlessly. However, to do it in 90 seconds, as the conditions dictated, it seemed impossible to me. I was so worried about it that I even doubted whether it was worth trying at all. Nevertheless, I tried anyway. In general, I can say that I received many impressions, starting with the creation process and ending with the award ceremony.
Narina Kiseleva, born in Mary, is a fourth-year student at the Faculty of Philology of the Moscow State University.
