From April 29 to June 6, 2021, the Institute of Russian Language of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after the first President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin holds an online youth marathon «Pushkin is with us. Pushkin is eternal...», dedicated to International Russian Language Day.
Students of grades 5-11 of secondary schools, university and college students of the Kyrgyz Republic are invited to participate in the action.
Established in 2010 by the United Nations, Russian Language Day is celebrated annually on June 6 – the birthday of the creator of the modern Russian literary language, the founder of Russian literature, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.
Each of us has our own Pushkin. We get acquainted with Pushkin’s poems in early childhood and never part. Many generations have turned to the work of the great poet, and today Pushkin’s word teaches and educates, gives wise advice and inspires you to think and speak beautifully!
Pushkin's works translated into Kyrgyz entered the reading circle and became loved by the Kyrgyz people. Poet and public figure Zhoomart Bokonbaev conveyed this popular attitude towards the genius of Pushkin in the poem «Kurbum» («My friend»):
...
In the mountain heights of Kyrgyzstan,
By sea, by ocean,
And in the Foggy North
And in the South in hot countries –
Pushkin is his own and equal everywhere
Among different nations.
He became a real Kyrgyz
The common language is clear to us.
And his sounding comus
We are especially pleased.
Pushkin is with us. Pushkin is eternal.
I'll hug him when we meet.
(Poetic translation by M.A. Rudova)
On the eve of the 222nd anniversary of the birth of A.S. We invite Pushkin to jointly express our gratitude and respect to the great poet, to read his favorite lines of his immortal works.
