Literary lounge at A.Blok`s estate Shakhmatovo 

On November 24, 2020, the Department of Russian Language and Literature of the Institute of Philology and Multilingual Education held an unusual literary evening. Its participants were employees of the State Memorial Museum-Reserve D.I. Mendeleev and A.A. Blok in the Shakhmatovo estate.

Thanks to the possibilities of the online meeting, the participants of the evening were transported to a house near Moscow where Alexander Blok spent an important part of his creative life. The interiors of the rooms, remembering the poet, the landscapes glorified by him became an inspiring impression for high school students, students and undergraduates, who read A. Blok`s poems at the evening and told about his fate.

The publishing house «Almatykitap baspasy» presented in the literary living room the block pages of the electronic version of the literature textbook for 11 classes, the authors of which are the teachers of the department. This is how publishers and schoolchildren, for whom textbooks are written, met. Museum workers from Russia met Kazakhstani young lovers of poetry. This is how poetry united people from different countries and generations.
