Teachers of the Department of Literature and Russian as a Foreign Language took part in the Regional stage of the International Christmas Educational Readings

On 14.12.21, associate professors of the Department of Literature and Russian as a Foreign Language Roman Y. Kuchinsky and Nadezhda V. Zaitseva made presentations at the Regional Christmas educational Readings. Roman Yurievich presented a report on the topic "To educate a "positively beautiful person": is there a place for F.M. Dostoevsky in a modern school?". In his speech, the main difficulties of studying the works of F.M. Dostoevsky in literature lessons at school were identified, among them the complexity of the spiritual and moral problems of the great Russian writer's work, the religious and philosophical content of his works, the specifics of the characters he created, the peculiarities of individual style. Based on the data of sociological surveys of schoolchildren and on their own pedagogical experience, Roman Y. Kuchinsky showed that these difficulties hinder the comprehension of Fyodor Mikhailovich's creativity, but at the same time they open up opportunities for the spiritual and moral growth of students. Nadezhda Vasilyevna in her report "The educational potential of Russian literature in the conditions of coexistence of secular and religious culture" noted that children's lyrics reveal the moral foundations that help to shape the personality of a child. Nadezhda Vasilyevna also drew the audience's attention to the fact that religious and secular culture solve a common task: to educate a truly spiritual person.
