Furthermore, Lavrov studied English and French but has remarked that he is unable to communicate well in French.

After being accepted to the university, Lavrov was assigned to a student construction brigade that was erecting the Ostankino Tower for a month.

Lavrov also worked with his university’s student construction brigades in Khakassia, Tuva, and the Russian Far East during his summer holidays.

Each semester, Lavrov and his classmates put on theatre plays that were ultimately shown on the university’s main stage. Lavrov married during his third year of studies.
