Institute's Head of the Center for Language Teaching, Testing and Migration Policy Assistance, Oleg Radchenko told reporters that successful completion of the language exam would enable Americans to enter any Russian University and apply for the Russian Citizenship if they wanted to. Radchenko has underlined that around 10–15 % of the candidates fail the test. However, the majority of them pass it successfully and get the State Certificate.

The materials of the first testing will be sent to Moscow. The results will be revealed in a week. People having more than 66% of correct answers will get a state certificate.

Radchenko has also commented that U.S. has three centers where people can pass the test. He was very pleased to know that right after the centers were open, some people volunteered to pass Russian Language Certification Test of the first level.

At present, around forty centers function across the world and their number is growing in time, bearing in mind that the interest for Russian language also increases.
