Head of Roszarubezhcenter Eleonora Mitrofanova told the agency's correspondent that a certification method meeting all international standards has already been developed, and it only remains to get it approved by the Russian government and obtain permission for its use by Russian educational centers abroad.
Russian language is studied by several thousand people in special cultural centers around the world, with 200-400 people in each center. The number of students is especially large in France, and Egypt. As Lenta.ru notes, so far students are only given certificates of completion.
