April 21, 2018 | 01:03 |1982
For many years, the Turkmen National Institute of World Languages named after A. Azadi has been holding “foreign” weeks, within which students are getting to know the culture of the countries of the language under study. Today, the Russian Language Week ended with a big festive concert in the assembly hall of the institute. The students of the Russian Language and Literature Faculty acquainted the audience with the musical and literary heritage of the Russian people, demonstrating not only the progress in learning the language, but also the acting and musical talents. The concert started with a presentation on the progress of Turkmen-Russian relations, including in the field of science, culture and education. Then the third-year students Shabibi Charyeva and Leyli Azadova excellently performed a fragment from the opera “Prince Igor” by A. Borodin. The famous Russian folk song “Kalinka” was greeted with deafening ovations. The hall even tapped in time with the melody.Maksat BUGRAYEV
A literary scene based on A. Chehov's work “The Bride and Groom” gave an opportunity to showcase the artistic talents of first-year students, and fourth-year students surprised the audience by presenting a fragment from the film “A Female Prisoner of the Caucasus” (“Kavkazskaya plennitsa”) in Turkmen language.
The poems of Eduard Asadov, Vladimir Vysotsky and Lusnyak Gisher sounded in the lyrical composition “It is the eternal word “Love”, which was completed by the song “Echo of Love”.
Natalia Titova, Senior Lecturer of the Russian Language Department, told ORIENT about the purpose of the event:
“Today our students acquaint guests with the culture, literature, traditions and customs of Russia. Because to divide the language and culture of the people is impossible.
“This year students of our faculty have a wonderful opportunity to share their love for Russian literature – an original, multi-faceted, boundless world,” added Lyubov Detochenko, Senior Lecturer of the Russian Literature Department.
