In 1926, Vietnamese students were sent to study in Russia under an initiative of Ho Chi Minh. A number of them served the Soviet Army during World War II.[6] Ho Chi Minh himself studied in Moscow in the 1920s, along with other senior members of the Communist Party of Vietnam.[7] They were followed by an estimated total of 50,000 Vietnamese who studied in Russia during the Cold War.[8] Academic exchange between the two countries continued even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union;, roughly 4,000 Vietnamese students were studying in Russian universities; the Russian government provides scholarships to 160 of them.[9] Notable Vietnamese students who have studied in Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union include Quynh Nguyen, a pianist from Hanoi who received a scholarship to Moscow's Gnessin State Musical College.[10]
