FOUR Edinburgh schoolchildren have been named as the winners of a UK-wide Russian essay competition.
It is the second year in row that children from the Saturday Language School, run by the charity Russian Edinburgh, have won the competition.

The winners of the competition, organised by the Association for Language Learning, were Charlotte Gunn, 11, Alisa Matiunina, eight, Georgii Gorobets, 13, and Daniil Minev, 14.

Russian Edinburgh has only been running for four years but has managed to sustain the highest level of language teaching.

Other winners of the competition include students from Eton College, University College London and St Andrew's University.

The four Edinburgh children's teachers are an award-winning linguist Nadezda Foss and a qualified teacher of Russian as a second language Julia Kuksink.
