Russia takes a deep dive into the more positive aspects of her history, as she climbs out of the darkness of the last 100 years.

[Regnum] In Russian schools, the lesson “Talking about Important Things” on April 15 was dedicated to the 215th anniversary of the birth of the Russian writer Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol.

“The session from the series of meetings “Conversations about Important Things” on April 15 will be dedicated to the life of a writer,” reported on the “Conversations About Important Things” website.

It is noted that during the lesson, schoolchildren will become familiar with fragments of the writer’s biography, including his childhood and gymnasium years. The children will be able to imagine what Gogol was like as a child and find out how early he showed a desire to learn new things and create, to serve his Fatherland.

For primary grades, the main part of the lesson will be held as a virtual journey through time. Children will be introduced to some events in Gogol's biography, the teacher will focus on the writer's childhood and youth, and will discuss with the children his attitude to the Russian language.

Senior school participants will be reminded that Gogol learned to read and write early; his father instilled in the future writer a love of literature and encouraged him to perform in the home theater.

The guest of honor at the lesson dedicated to Gogol was the honored cultural worker, director of the Moscow Gogol House Vera Vikulova. Within the walls of this house the writer not only lived, but also created.

“Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol is a personality of his time. He sought the purity of the Russian word, impeccability. He understood his talent, that he had this gift, and he worked every day, embodying his stories on paper,” Vikulova noted.

Gogol was born on April 1, 1809 in the Poltava province. The first major literary work that laid the foundation for his fame was the story “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka.” In literature lessons, schoolchildren study Gogol's works "The Inspector General", "Dead Souls", "Taras Bulba".
