An education
program for Russian compatriots living abroad was held in St. Petersburg from 25 to 30 November 2013.
The program was called "Pushkin's Petersburg".
There were 56 participants from 13 countries (Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Great
Britain, Lithuania,
Poland, Italy, Kyrgyzstan,
Netherlands, Turkmenistan, Ukraine,
Estonia).
The
main partner of the program was the Institute
of Russian Literature
(Pushkin House). Numerous
seminars, lectures and presentations on art and life of the poet were held in
the premises of Pushkin House. Pushkin
House was opened in 1905 as a repository of manuscripts and diaries of the
poet.
The
opening ceremony of the program took place on 26 November in the Great
Conference Hall of Pushkin House. The
director of Pushkin House Vsevolod Bagno welcomed the participants of the
program. One of the
workshops led by Doctor of Philology Sergey Denisenko was dedicated to Pushkin as an artist. The workshop was called
"Pushkin draws". Pushkin
made more than a hundred self-portraits in the fields to
his workbooks. Much
of the manuscript heritage of the poet is in the Manuscript Division of Pushkin
House. Most
of the pictures are dedicated to “Eugene Onegin”.
Pushkin's favorite picture, whose hidden meaning has not been exposed to the
researchers yet – a cat with the tail to the viewer.
The participants
visited a special room where ancient manuscripts created 300-800 years ago are
kept. The guests also visited the presentation of the facsimile edition of Pushkin’s
"Boldyno manuscripts". The educational part of the event ended with a
round table dedicated to the development of Pushkin movement in the world,
called "How our word will be responded ...". At the round table the poetess Lada Smirnova from Baku (Azerbaijan) read her poems which were born during a stormy debate about Pushkin and his wife Natalya Goncharova.
