[Regnum] The chair of the State Duma Committee on Culture Olga Kazakova will have to sort out the situation with the mixed-up name of the murderer of Russian writer and poet Alexander Pushkin in an official government document. This was reported by the deputy of the lower house of parliament Oleg Smolin (CPRF). “Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma, asked Olga Mikhailovna Kazakova, the Chairman of the Committee on Culture, to conduct such an examination and advise colleagues from the executive branch... either a gross error or blatant illiteracy was corrected,” he clarified to RIA Novosti. The confusion with the name of the duelist Pushkin was revealed in an official government document during a plenary session of the State Duma. According to Smolin, the author of the document could have confused Georges Dantes with the hero of the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" Edmond Dantes. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the US Embassy in Russia reminded about the anniversary of the birth of the poet Alexander Pushkin, but made a mistake with his name. The mistake was later corrected. The Council for the Implementation of State Policy in the Sphere of Support of the Russian Language and Languages of the Peoples of Russia and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation have begun joint work to create a single state line of school textbooks on the Russian language and literature. |
