A monument to Pushkin has been erected in Mauritius. The bust of the famous Russian poet is located in one of the parks in Port Louis and is an exact copy of the work by sculptor Anikushin, whose sculpture adorns the Arts Square in St. Petersburg. The solemn opening of the monument was timed to the 220th anniversary of Pushkin's birth. The city's mayor, D. Laurent, expressed gratitude to the Russian diplomatic mission for the initiative to install the monument and assured that the city authorities would support similar projects in the future. During the ceremony, students from a local lyceum recited Pushkin's poems in Russian, French, and Creole. Local writer and poet Sitohul presented his translation into Creole of excerpts from Pushkin's play 'Mozart and Salieri,' as well as his own poem dedicated to this event.

Additionally, there is a Gagarin Street and a Russian restaurant in Mauritius where you can try herring under a fur coat, dumplings, pancakes, vinaigrette, borscht, vareniki, and lard with garlic. It is said that the locals highly appreciate Russian cuisine and speak positively about our national dishes.

Russians in Mauritius maintain their traditions, celebrating Maslenitsa, Easter, Christmas, and Victory Day. These holidays are gradually becoming less exotic for the locals, who sometimes willingly join in the Russian celebrations.
