  • Tver If You Are on the Group Flight, You Will Be Met at the Airport by Your RLUS Representatives
    Your Arrival in Tver If you are on the group flight, you will be met at the airport by your RLUS representatives. There may be many students coming through all at once, so please be patient. You will then be taken to Tver in a minibus provided by the university, and will be taken to your accommodation. The journey to Tver is relatively short - approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes depending on traffic. If you are not travelling with the RLUS group flight, you will be expected to make your own way to Tver and to your accommodation. We will provide you with your address and transport information in this case. Public transport from the airport is reasonably-priced and easily navigable. All Moscow airports have a train service to the city, called Aeroexpress. The train costs 500 roubles and takes approximately 45 minutes to get to the city, depending on which airport you arrive at. When you arrive at the station, follow the signs to the metro, which is characterised by a big red M. You can buy tickets from the ticket office inside. Once you arrive into central Moscow, you can take an elektrichka train to Tver – these are small, local trains for which you do not need to buy a ticket in advance. You’d better take a local high-speed train called “Lastochka” Moscow – Tver. It takes 1 hour and 40 min. to get to Tver. It costs 535 roubles. You should buy a ticket at a railway station cash desk or from machines at the train station.

    Russian Folk Art as Souvenirs Every person traveling around the world often questions: “what would be a good souvenirs to bring back home?” Now, of course your child is a best thing that you get from the country, but there are always things that you would like to give to your relatives and friends once you are back home. Here are several suggestions and historical background on some of most famous Russian Folk gifts that you can choose as souvenirs. Souvenirs that would be unique, beautiful and useful. You will be amazed with the variety of choice… Hohloma Hohloma wood painting is a unique ancient Russian folk craft. The birth-place of Hohloma is the forest area of Nizhny Novgorod region to the north-east of the river Volga. Hohloma is the name of a big village on the left bank of the Volga. From the earliest times masters who lived in that region made amazingly beautiful woodenware, and in the 17th century hohloma painting art was formed as a folk art phenomenon. The craft has gained world fame due to its original technique and the beauty of traditional Russian decorative patterns. Turned or carved with special chisels, articles made of limewood, are primed with clay, coated with "olifa" (boiled linseed oil), and then with powdered aluminium. After being silvered in this way, the objects are painted with refractory oil colours and then lacquered several times and tempered in ovens. The heat of 1000 makes the varnish yellow, turning "the silver" into "gold" and softening the bright colours of the painted ornament with an even golden tone.

This year there will be a New Year Post service on the charity stall, which will allow anyone to leave a gift for others who have fallen on hard times, and who need just the very basic things in life – care and support. Gifts will be collected for the homeless charity Nochlezhka, for the Anton's right here foundation, the regional branch of Age and Joy, the Warm Home foundation, the Mother and Child charity project and the Centre for the Social Rehabilitation of Disabled Adults and Children in the Vyborg region.

  • Russian As a Native Language"
    E3S Web of Conferences 210, 18107 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021018107 ITSE-2020 Reflection of the national linguistic world view in the school course "Russian as a native language" Tatiana Voiteleva1,* 1Moscow Region State University, 10A Radio str., 105005, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of reflection of the national linguistic world view in the school course "Russian as a native language". The purpose of the study is to characterize the content of the school course of the Russian language, which contributes to the formation of the concept of the native language as a spiritual, moral and cultural value of the nation. The main issues of the content of the Russian as a native language course, reflecting the national linguistic world view, are defined and described. It is noted that the content aspect of education is distinguished by the strengthening of the value orientation of education. 1 Introduction Modern pedagogy involves an axiological approach, the basis of which is the individual as an important value of society and the purpose of social development. From this perspective, education is a combination of moral, cultural and ethical orientations of a person who is able to adapt, which is, on the one hand, a means of transmission of culture, and on the other hand, contributes to the formation of a new culture. Basing on the interaction between education and culture, students form the perceptual unity of the surrounding reality. The approach, in which the main attention is paid to the development of values of material and spiritual culture, predetermined the transition from a knowledge- centered learning paradigm to a culture-congruent one and the establishment of a culturological orientation in teaching the Russian language.
