The International Pushkin Competition, which will be held for the 20th time among Russian teachers from different countries, will be dedicated to the 75th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War. The theme of the competition is “Victory Autograph. On the War and Peace at the Russian Lessons”, the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper reports. The newspaper is also the organizer of the competition.
The International Pushkin Competition was created in 2000 at the round table called My Motherland is the Russian Language. The initiative was supported by the Moscow government and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, hundreds of creative works on various topics have come to the organizing committee every year. 950 Russian language teachers from different countries of the world have become winners of the Pushkin Competition during 19 years of its existence.
The organizers invited Russian teachers to write an essay and describe what their students know about the Great Patriotic War and World War II, whether there are participants in the war among their ancestors and relatives and how their families keep a memory of them, and whether young people get the reliable information in the era of falsifications.
The works will be accepted until April 15. In previous years, 50 winners of the competition received invitations to Moscow, as well as diplomas and cash prizes. This year, in connection with the 75th anniversary of the victory, the number of laureates is increased to 75.
